Wii being unfairly scored?

I just read through the review for DDR on Wii, and was kinda surprised by the score (5.5) relative to the overall tone of the review which had few negatives. I checked other reviews of DDR games which generally seem to score in the 7 range. The strange thing is that in the 360 review its stated that $80 is reasonable for the game plus a mat, in the wii review they think the game and mat should have been a lot cheaper than $70.

I can see the score dropping slightly from the 360 version, but this isn't a graphically intensive game, so I don't understand a drop of 1.8 points.

Actually IGN gives very fair reviews of all games on any platform. The difference is that they arn't a bunch of nintendo haters like the people that make this site, and gamespot gives out scores they pull from their a$$ like a 9.0? for Wario Ware? or giving MP3 anda PSP puzzle game port the same score? Who'sreally simple minded?

To be honest I think that Gamespot provides pretty good reviews in general, I am just not sure of their scoring. I only judge games by the actual text in the reviews not by the score they get. The review for DDR made it sound like a good but slightly flawed game, that why the score seemed on the low side. The 360 review makes the game sound like a good but flawed game yet it scored relatively high.

You can't compare a console and handheld game. The standards are totally different. The puzzle game was probably worthy of it's score for a handheld game. MP3 the same for consoles.
