Remember sheep...Super Mario Sunshine got one of the lowest scores on this site compared to every other. Where it was getting low to high 9s everywhere else, it got 8.0 here. And then Gamespot IS ONE OF THE LAST big gaming websites to finally put up a preview for the game. And the preview is very short. Other games get a 2 page preview treatment. The last true Mario platformer for a console was 5 years ago, and this is allsheep get so far? Oh, and BTW...Gamespot seemed positive about the game, but nowhere near as positive as other gaming sites. 8.5 sounds reasonable now.

As a joke, GameSpot will give it an 8.8, then after about 5 minutes it shall go down to 8.5.

Believe.

i'd be a bit miffed if it scored low, but only if scores on other sites are really high

it's already happened to zelda TP and MP3 .. SMG could be next

I think it probably will get an 8.5 but I think this is one of those games where most people won't care and they will just want to play it for themselves.

It would be kinda dumb but they'd moan anyway. TP deserved 8.8, but I never cared for Sunshine enough to try it.

SMG is not going to flop... I'm almost positive. The title is way to impressive on almost every level.

i will be annoyed if it gets AA here, but mid-AAA everywhere else.

If it gets AA everywhere (as well as GS) i will be disappointed, but not in gamespot.

Well, they just put up a launch center (Which is much more than what they did for MP3) so it seems they actually care.

I haven't read a GS review since MP3 which I rate 9.7 I don't even listen nore care when their reviews are listed. GS just doesn't like the Wii for some reason. They're always making jabs at it in their previews and flopping its games. I wish they would become un biased again.

I hyped it AA, al though i know it will be much better than that, it actually LOOKS and has the FEEL of SM64, which is a great thing.

I would of gave sunshine a 7.5, maybe less. I hated that game with a passion. It was nothing like SM64. Zelda TP..I think the score made sense, it was way to much like OOT. I had to force myself to beat it. MP3 is the only score I don't agree with, it deserved a 9.0. It was a great game all around, I really enjoyed it.

If they give it an 8.5...they better have a good reason to back it up.I under stand the TP flop because it felt a little too similar to OOT *despite that fact that it was still a great game*.....but the MP3 review had contradictions all over the place.

Honestly....if this game doesn't get AAA I really don't think any wii game will ever get AAA on GS again..

I mean this game has win written all over it. If they aren't impressed with that....thats it man

I have played SMG and if it gets anything below a 9.0 I will officially know that Gamespot has mediocre tastes in games. SMG is amazing a deserves amazing scores just from the little bit I have played.

I think gamespot's scores have been the most real when it comes to all the Wii hype. Fanboys hate that so they thin ktheir biased.

There might be another WarioWare title in development. This one will be 1 and a half hour long and will score 9.5

Warioware: AAA

Metroid prime 3: AA

.....let that sink in for a little while and then tell me that their reviews for wii games are "real".

Just after E3 during The Hotspot podcast they laughed off MP3 being GOTY material compared to Galaxy.

Ever actually read the MP3 review? They contradict themselve like 6 times. They never even give real reason for it not to be AAA. Lie when they dropped Bioshock's score because of some random glitch that I haven't heard about or experienced since? Real more like uneducated.

The Good: brings new gameplay mechanics to the Mario franchise

The Bad: Feels too much like previous Mario games, and no chainsaws wtf BBQ?

It doesn't matter what they review it. After they gave Zelda and MP3 both sub-9.0 scores, they are no longer considered a valid source.

Graphics: 5/10, nothing compared to Crysis

Gameplay: 5/10, plays too much like other mario games

Xbox 360: 0/10

Total: 8.5

That's basically what the review will be.

Many have said it and many will continue to say it.

Gamespot Logic, halo 3 vs Metroid prime 3.

Halo 3 : Plays a lot like other halos, winning formula, raise score.

Metroid Prime 3 : Plays a lot like other metroid primes, not new, lower score.

That would be just as bad as Zelda TP flopping. And it did not deserve that score neither.

You guys critizise Gamespot too much. They are trying to be DIFFERENT. Sure it's hurting their credibility a lot, but c'mon, we should respect them for that.

If it is an 8.5 here, and less than about a 93% on Gamerankings, I'll admit that the Wii is a trashy system.

it's already happened to zelda TP and MP3 .. SMG could be next

or maybe SSBB

Viviath

SSBB is gonna get rated badly on GS because GS seems to have a vendetta against that game. As for SMG...if the reviewer gives it less than AAA, you can be assured that u will see his name in tomorrows paper under the obituary column. After Zelda TP and MP3, the sheep are no longer taking prisoners.
