Topic: Wii Reviews

We don't seem to have a general Wii Review thread so I thought I start one.

PCWorld Game System Smackdown

I only read the Wii review which is generally positive.  The most interesting tidbit that he mentioned is that Nintendo might be releasing a Component cable with optical output as well.  This would greatly simplify my setup even more since everything is optical except my Cube and DVD player.

The Wii gets half a star less than the ps3 and 360? Bleh.

This is the only site you need to find a good collection of Wii Reviews and to get an average of Wii games.

CNN's console review

I do like that they just ended up fixated of Wii Sports Tennis towards the end of that CNN video. And they both actually sounded pretty well informed. Nice mainstream coverage.

I heart metacritic. I don't think they track quite as many game reviewers as gamerankings (or as many movie reviewers as rotten tomatoes), but the layout of their site is so very nice.

But wrong thread.

Rating system is a bit iffy, as they class gamespys 5/5 as 100%

Have you guys noticed a noticable difference between Wii and PS3 review scores? The Wii scores, though somewhat average, are all pretty damn good with TP topping  it at 10. However, the PS3 ranges anywhere from 3 to 9, most of which falls around 6-8.

I think its just funny how this is blatantly proving that graphics don't matter and its all about gameplay when it comes to having fun.

And oh yeah, you should read a Madden 07 review. I've never seen a Nintendo football game so highly praised. In fact, the people at IGN declared it a "must-own title"  which is to say, pretty damn impressive.

Madden 07 scores the same as the 360 version, which both score a .2 better than the PS3 version.  Who would a thunk the PS3 version would be on the lower end of the spectrum.  I'm really happy they didn't give the game a low score just because of graphics.  

However Gamespot seems to be different their review of Zelda TP (8. seemed mostly based on the fact that the graphics are awful, there is no spoken dialogue, and the game isn't vastly different from any other Zelda game.  I agreed on a lot of what they had to say but from what they didn't like I think is compensated for by everything else in the game.
