Why is it that of the top 5 games for the Wii only 1 is a full Wii game? Let's run down the list here.
Super Mario Galaxy (97%) - The only real Wii game in the top five. I can't reiterate how desperately I disagree with this rating though. Between the spastic controls due to gravity changes and general nuisance of using the pointer and Mario at the same time... meh. However it's a Wii exclusive and uses the Wii controls exclusively so let's move along...
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (94%) - While playing this on the Wii made using any of the ranged weapons a snap the melee combat was so annoying on the Wii. Pulling off advanced maneuvers is ridiculous, the spin attack is annoying and by the time you're done your wrist hurts more than if you had a serious bout of ma... manual labor. The game is much better on the Gamecube due to the removal of this issue if nothing else.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl (93%) - You might be wondering why I don't list this as a "full" Wii game. Well let's analyze the facts; the game controls almost exactly like SSB and SSBM, not much has changed besides new characters and more clones. Oh and the game is STILL best played with a Gamecube controller. Seriously, WTF Nintendo? You're abandoning your own controllers now.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (91%) - My favorite Wii game! It was also my favorite Gamecube game and one of my favorite PS2 games. Catching the pattern here? Sure it was much easier to aim the gun most of the time but if you can get it on two other systems it hardly counts. Next!
Okami (90%) - While this is a PS2 game as well I would have been so ready to label this the definitive version of the game if the controls weren't horrible. I don't know how they managed to mess this one up but sure as heck they did. That, plus the IGN watermark "scandal" and this is just embarassing.
There's more success for Nintendo games using the Wii controls in the bottom 5 of the top 10. The only one that really bears much noting is Boom Blox since Metroid Prime 3 is a horrible game, Guitar Hero 3 obviously doesn't count, Zak and Wiki is a giant point and click with Mini-games (still fun though) and Super Paper Mario works just fine.
I realize that aggregate sites aren't a great way of gathering games by quality, it's all up to opinion. However I by and large trust professional game reviewers so long as they aren't part of the Game Informer magazine crew so I'm more inclined to listen to these sorts of sites. The only thing I refuse to listen to them on is the quality of Metal Gear Solid 4 and GTA 4. They suckered me in with their LIES about Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, that won't happen again. Anyone who talks about how great the gameplay was in MGS2 I'm always tempted to beat them with a stick that reads "There isn't any gameplay in MGS2."
Freaking Kojima...
Yeah I'm kind of ramble/ranting. It's just the sort of mood I'm in after making the mistake of posting on the GFAQs forums. Buncha low IQ... *mumblemuble*
