60% of people have chosen to try it over the 5% of people who said they either won't or probably won't try it.

 

TBH that means their marketing and hype has hit people into actively seeking the product (demo units, friends, purchases) that's good.

Check your local stores this weekend.. the UK is getting them rolled out now.

I think Gamesmasters Wii:Play review was a tad harsh, considering it comes with a Wii-mote etc..of course i haven't played it yet, so can't really judge.

 

Rayman is slightly dissapointing as well. but they must have had their reasons....

 

Overall? I always keep a open-mind until i've played the game myself and if i'm interested in a game they dislike, i'll buy it anyway (I'm buying Wii:Play whatever they say) and make up my own opinion on it.

 

I have no doubt Zelda deserves that grade though! One thing which is always cropping up in my mind though is that Wind Wakers review score has beaten it a couple of times on certain sites and magazines....surely TP is better then Wind Waker? :wtf:

Keep these things in mind: it's a game that's in next gen console with last gen graphics (even though they're gorgeous) and some people can't handle change (wiimote), so they give it less. Heck, IGN said TP is the best Zelda ever and WW got more.

Just watched the 1up shows review of zelda and they basically say its one of the best games ever and easily game of the year!

 

This is despite the fact they moan about the graphics on an underpowered system like the Wii - I though these guys were professionals its Gamecube graphics.

 

Despite the graphical whining though they all agree Zelda rocks in a big way!

 

Heres the link to Link! lol : 1up show zelda review

IGN UK = IGN, but UK servers to make it seem like it is less international and corporate right?

 

It's the same content (says Wikipedia) but your ISP automatically routes you to IGN UK, IGN Australia, IGN US.. etc..

I think it's an actual review by UKanians. Don't get it why thou, would any country deserve a different score, is it based on cultural diferences?

Matt C gives it an 8 and Matt W gives it an 8.

I don't see the point of this really.

 

I really don't. Most United Kingdom residents who I know.. know Matt Casamassina by name.. They trust him and like to read his reviews.

 

Who the hell is Matt Wales? IGN UK is the stupidest idea I've ever heard of.

 

Also Wikipedia is wrong on this one.

 

edit. I've just worked it out.. Newscorp (Rupert Murdoch's empire) who owns IGN is totally into brainwashing kids.. it's why they bought MySpace and why they are so possesive of a lot of teen-centric content on Sky.

 

With release dates differing in Australia, America and the UK so much.. for Rupert to maximise his profits from the 3 respective websites he has split them up.

 

So he can sync certain things.. I've been seeing a lot of LOST IS NOW ON SKY ONE adverts on IGN lately. Another example of how Newscorp is brainwashing you with one product into buying another Newscorp product.

 

No doubt during the advert break for LOST there will be Times adverts and Simpsons boxsets.

 

It makes sense, it's good capitalism. But I'm gonna stop reading IGN UK on purpose.. I want Matt C.

It's routed from your ISP server's IP address.

You must have an ISP operatingf in Germany partially.

 

T-mobile for example stands for Telekomm mobile a german firm, but they operate in the UK.

^-- I might just create some phony accounts to boost Twilight Princesses voting average, see if it can knock off Resident Evil 4 off Number one spot.

 

Sierously man. You literally have mental issues. It really doesnt matter dont let it bug you.

I dont think Ive ever bought a game based off its review score. I dont even know why i buy magazines. I never base my judgement on a game from their scores.

I just have to send my money thats why i buy them. Its a good read sometimes aswell.

I don;t buy a game from review scores either, but I do expect those reviewers to give fair socres, and if I'm considering a game i will read reviews from a number of sources.
