Gamespot only gave Zelda:TP 8.8

Just found this linked from Joystiq, sums up my thoughts really:

Also 1up posted a red steal review yesterday giving it 5/10. It's starting to look like this game might just be bad rather any sort of anti-wii bias from gamespot.

ever thought the bad reviews are because it isnt as good as its should be ?

not exactly groundbreaking stuff is it, you've been able to get fishing games with a fishing rod controller for years.

And which bad reviews are these, i haven't seen one yet. Gamespots review isn't a bad review, 8.8/10 is a good score by any mark. It just happens to be the lowest so far which in my opinion is a good thing.

IGN.com 9.5 /10
GameSpot 8.8 /10
Game Informer 10 /10
Wizard Universe A+ /A+
1UP.com 10 /10
GameDaily 4.5 /5
Gamerz Edge 10 /10
Lawrence.com 99 /100
GameBrink.com 99 /100
GameSpy.com 5 /5
UnderGroundOnline (UGO) A /A+
The Hylia 9.6 /10


Now where exactly are those bad review scores? :confused:
 
Shame it's more of the same, I'll not be bothering with it as I too wasn't a fan of OoT, Just found it boring. On the graphics front I don't really care, I'll be getting a Wii to have fun on, not waste away my life worrying about the graphics on other consoles, as I'll have them as well! :D

As said above about the bad reviews. People are just curious as to how a game that is averaging around 95% managed to get 88% at gamespot. Most of the controversy is from his reasons for giving it that score. He says it is a great game, but because it doesn't bring anything new to the table it doesn't deserve a great score? That makes no sense. Also his blatant 360 loving of recent weeks has been mentioned a few times.
If he gave it an 8.8 and said it was a very good game but it wasn't deserving of a 9 because of this, this and this then a lot of people wouldn't mind so much.

As for the fishing, why are you going on about the fishing? It was only mentioned as a possible addition over the GC game. no one ever implied that it was ground breaking.
 
For those saying 'waaa 8.x' is bad

Maybe it's simply because the games aren't worthy of higher scores? Fanboys get on my **** sometimes :)

If you think thats bad, the BBC site gave gears an 8.5! Can anyone say PS3 biased?

I was reading the forums on gamespot after I heard resistance only got an 8.6, gamespot have been publishing some contriversial reviews lately.

Get over it fanboy.



Once again.... maybe it's because they actually deserve the ratings? Honestly, some people go crazy with their conspiracy and bias theories...
