cod3 was fun with the wii remote (minus those charge planting minigames)

Reel Fishing for Playstation 1. It scored a 1.4 on gamespot and had an average of 40% on gamerankings. I played it all the time.

my favorite underrated game is godzilla unleased. dont get me wrong its still a messed up game but i had my fun w/it for a lil while once i got the controls down. its ratings were between 3.5-5.5.

SSBB does look pretty dumb. The worst game I played on Wii is WarioWare and that gets good reviews.

Lugia · 08-01-2008, 10:55 PM

ssbb is probably the most overrated wii game to date. its really a fanboy game thats a revision of the last 2.

I personally think SMG is the most overrated, atleast on Wii... I'm not sure about other consoles.

Baten Kaitos, Eteneral Wings and the Lost Ocean for the infamous cube. Not the best voice acting, but.. I loved that game. It had an 81.4 average.. NOT HIGH ENOUGH! And Kingdom Hearts:Chain of Memories for the GBA. It had cards, big woop. It was still in real time, why does everyone look down on it? Average: 77.8 .

Cake Mania for DS, it got a poor rating, I love it!

My Sims (DS version) got a better rating and it was the WORST game I have EVER played. I sold it on eBay right after I bought it.

Funny cause I thought the opposite. Game Informer is known to be biased against Nintendo and they gave Brawl a 9.5. A VERY low rating for a game with a production team the size of the Pacific Ocean which includes the makers of Mario, Zelda, Tetris, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Metroid, Pokemon, and I could go on and on(and on and on).

It definately deserved a 10 from EVERYONE. lol.

T3kNi9e · 08-03-2008, 01:39 AM

Game Informer is biased against Nintendo? rofl...

9.5 is a very low rating...?

Sorry to tell you Caliko, but it isn't GI that's biased, it's you... You sir, are a fanboy...

Not a ""fanboy" just a video game fan. I've owned an Atari 2600, an NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Wizard, Sega CD, Sega Channel, PS1, N64, PS2, Gamecube, PSP, DS and now a Wii(plus more I can't remember at the moment). I wanted a PS3 until I researched it and found it was not %100 backwards compatible and wastes WAAAY too much electiricity.

I've played more games than I could remember, EASILY over a thousand from Pit Fall(Atari 2600) to Marvel VS. Capcom(arcade). I've been reading reviews since I was about 7 years old. I know a 10 from a 9.8.

So before you pull the "fanboy" card slap yourself in the face...Please.

Not to join the quarrel, but....

A 9.5 is a fitting grade for it, if not being .2 gracious (sorry, I don't mean to get all fine-point technical, though then again, a grade is just a grade)

Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE the game. I play it a ridiculous amount, and the Vault has me hooked as well.

But honestly, can you really think of anything aside from those extra goodies (Vault, Classic VCs, bigger trophy set, better trophy game, ...basically anything in the extras section) that really truly made Brawl not seem like Melee 2.0? I could have managed w/o the VC set and a few others if the effort'd gone to a better single player.

(Oh, and for the previous statement: ALMOST all magazines are biased one way or another to a company/system. Just not in a flashy "I'm gonna show my bias-ness to everyone!!" kind of way.)

I mean, I know there's more characters, Smash attacks, got rid of clones etc...

But basically, it's like buying a DVD, then years later buying the same one but with "Behind the Scenes" featured.

And...the single player WAS better, but still a bit lackluster. It could have been SO much more, enough to give any longtime gamer a chill (the good kind). And not to throw in the online warfare, but...yeah, I'll just leave it at that.

But I think Sakurai still did a ridiculously awesome job on it, and it was still worth the buy.

Oh, to answer the thread-Q:

C&C Tiberian Sun got decent reviews, but it was amazing.

I also found World is Not Enough to be better than Goldeneye.

I also found DMC4 to be better than 1, but lesser than 3.

(and to the opposite, I found Pokémon Diamond ((I tried getting back into the games)) to oddly be lesser than Sapphire and Gold.)

Just so you know, I wasn't talking about the Wii as a whole... I meant a SSBB fanboy lol...
