Predict the score for Zelda: Skyward Sword

What do you think Skyward Sword will get here at Gamespot? I'm thinking an 8.5, Gamespot never seems to rate Nintendo games very highly compared to some games that don't deserve it (no offense GS!!!)

9.0 here (being safe, but I say at least this) and a 9.5 at IGN. Those are my guesses.

8.5 seems about right.

9.5

Anywhere from 8.5-9.5.

8.5 - 9.0

9.0 if they actually give the controls some time to grow on them

8.5 if they decide "well screw it, it's a wii game. 8.5 it is!"

Anywhere from 8.5-9.5.

What's up with your sig? Is it just a bet?

Yep! It's a bet with some user named Charizard on this site.

I'm gonna be safe and predict an 8.5.I can't wait for it,so no matter what the score,it's gonna be awesome :).

9.0

I think the controls should push it over the edge to get AAA status.

The game looks better than Twilight Princess, so I think it will either get 9.0 or 9.5 here.

Even if it's perfect it probably won't get higher than 8.5. It might even get a 7.

Don't be rediculous :P. Mario Galaxy 2 got a 10 and it didn't even deserve it.

9.5

I think 9.5 is the likeliest.

It's GS. So 8.5

8.5 here, low/mid 90's on Metacritic. SMG2 seemed like an exception to that rule, though.

8.8

8.8

One word:

1.0 Just like Big Rigs Snyper-007

And I'll bet you've never played a Zelda game too.

Faces of evil? I'm surprised people still even know of that game's existence.

But have you played through an entire game before?

A solid 9.0. Seems to me like an 8-8.5, but gamespot will avoid giving it that score to prevent death threats, riots, and whatever else may come from immature fanboys.

8.5 here a 93 on metacritic though honestly I could not even care what gamespot gives it unless maybe kevin reviewed it

Looking at games made by Nintendo last year: Mario Galaxy 2-10, Metroid other M-8.5, Kirby Epic Yarn-8.5, Donkey Kong-8.5. GS sure loves those 8.5's. Although I think the only game that truly deserved a higher score was Donkey Kong. I sure hope it's 9+, but I'm gonna have to go with 8.5 since GS loves giving that score to games made by Ninty lately. Regardless, it's still a must have for me and anyone else who owns a Wii.

This is 8.5spot we're talking about, so that is the score I'm picking.

[QUOTE="Snyper-007"] I've played all of them at a friend's house. My favorite was The faces of EvilSnyper-007

So what is it about them that makes you think Skyward Sword would get a 1.0?

Lol,he's obviously trolling :P.

When a perfect...sorry, "prime" game is delivered, I expect others to see it as such.
10/10.

I highly doubt the game will score a ten on GS.

Predict the score? I'd say 8.5, but because this is System Wars I'd say 7.5 :) That would cause a riot :P

To be honest. I thought TP was a superb game (9.0 max), but I think some reviewers overdid it. Some called it "Best zelda game of all time". My ars. In a way, I didn't like how they critsize games for not being "innovative" or "being stuck in the past", yet Twighlight princess got a hall pass, because of the zelda name.

9.0

AAA, still out on whether it'll be 9 or 9.5 though, 10 is out of the question.

they will go back to the old score system just to give it an 8.8 :P

jk. idk what it'll score on gs, but I know it will be a fantastic game.

[QUOTE="Snyper-007"] I've finished all of them, even crossbow training.Snyper-007

Voice acting wouldn't hurt, but I don't think it hurts the quality as much as you make it.

Bad graphics? The whole franchise? You're not just referring to Wii?

Terrible combat? For the whole franchise?Seriously?

I don't think the side quests are much worse than any other action adventure game, the ones in Majora's Mask are great.

Average story doesn't seem 1.0 worthy to me.

Multiplayer? Wow... MP does not belong in every game, and LoZ is one of those games.

8.0-8.5 due to controls being lame.

8.0
