it's wii, where the anticipated games don't get reviews while shovelware does. the more hype for the game, the longer the reviews take.

I don't see any hype! All I see is a lot of skepticism. I think if the game were great, and developers were proud of their product, they will be be quick to let the gamers know they have something good with early reviews or something. This adds to my raised eyebrow for this title.

Same score they gave Modern Warefare Reflex

From the MWR review:

"Someday a developer might come up with an FPS control scheme that works on the Wii. Today is not that day".

From the Goldeneye Wii review

"Don't bother playing this without a ****c Controller Pro".From

From GI's Metroid Prime Trilogy review"Aiming and panning your view with the remote is inferior in every way to the traditional scheme from the GameCube titles. Since there is no way to play with a ****c or GameCube controller, you're stuck playing good last-gen games with a gimpy waggle interface. The Metroid Prime series is still strong, but even new players who never picked up the originals would be better served tracking them down in bargain bins than struggling through this subpar collection."

See a pattern emerging?

From IGN:

"That said, honestly, the game has some of the best Wii Remote controller support seen in a first-person shooter, and with practice it's clear that the quick and direct aiming of the Wii pointer is the true way to play this game. The Remote support is second only to The Conduit's crazy OCD level of customization, but in GoldenEye you have full input on pointer sensitivity, rotation speed, invert look, and other options, and everything you adjust is saved and applied to individual profiles that you can utilize in multiplayer."

IGN's review was in depth and I'll probably find myself agreeing with them. Tcon got a bit of a high score, but 7.5-8 is what the game really deserved imo. GI's review really did sound like a raging Wii hater who played maybe an hour or two and hated it simply because it was on the Wii and he didn't have his precious 360 controller with auto-aim. It's one of the shortest reviews I've seen so far.

Wow, Gameinformer is really Biased against Nintendo and Will not admit that the IR Pointer is better than the Standard controller.

Game Informer is ridiculous when it comes to Wii games. I own MPT, and the controls are absolutely fantastic, and this is coming from a guy who's played through the Gamecube versions six times EACH. That, plus the fact that just about every critic BUT GI has praised the controls in the games you mentioned, makes it hard for me to take their reviews of Wii games seriously.
