The score isn't important, the content of the review is. They barely had any negatives to talk about, and I think of examples where a majority of the review was in a negative tone and they still gave it a 8.7 or something (Deus Ex: HR). -- TheRock ~ Slow dramatic zoom-pan.

ninkendo 03/28/12 5:36:00 AM #9:	GT does compare Wii graphics to PS3 and 360 and rates them accordingly so there's that to factor in. It's the one thing they do that I don't really agree with. also is it just me or did they not really talk about the music as much as they should have. It's easily the best part of the game. -- http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/9016/otungaattorney.jpg http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/CaptainRockman.png <cite>ninkendo posted [p:959712] in Oh snaps, ...

Lightning Strikes 03/28/12 6:01:00 AM #13:	Yeah it's hardly an overreaction. 9.3 is exactly what I was expecting from the review, and I was a bit concerned before it came out that it would be lower because GT are kind of obsessed about technical details. Scores are important, btw. They summarise what the reviewer thought of the game as a whole rather than focusing on a simple list of positives or negatives. -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:959716] in Oh snaps, ...

CalvinbalI 03/28/12 11:05:00 AM #20:	Pretty spot on review, I think. I wish they showed a few different areas, particularly when they talked about how well put together and interesting the world is. Pretty much all they showed were grassy areas and a few caves. I know they don't want to spoil anything, but a quick pan shot of Eryth Sea or Satorl Marsh at night wouldn't have been a big deal. -- "It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy...let's go exploring!" - Calvin http://img.imgcake.com/calvinfinalpngpy.png <cite>CalvinbalI posted [p:959723] in Oh snaps, ...

For example, they said backtracking across the huge land would be a pain, but there's a quick travel system that makes a nice balance between exploration and sidequesting.

And it's why I largely ignore the actual scores in reviews and focus on the content. If you feel the game is the best in the series, especially in a series where the most recent entry wasn't but a year ago, it doesn't really make sense to say it's a superior game then give it an inferior score. Maybe if there's a 3+ year gap or something and there's been extensive changes to the genre, then yes, I get why they'd lower the score. -- TheRock ~ Slow dramatic zoom-pan.

Mik_Pick 03/28/12 4:13:00 PM #31:	9.3 is very good for GameTrailers, and in my opinion they still have the best video reviews. The game does look very good, but watching it makes me wish it was for PS3 / 360. Now I know it's not always about the graphics, and I do enjoy the Wii, but an epic RPG like this one would really benefit from the extra power. Question: Does it run fine on a SD TV, or does it get boxed like Skyward Sword? -- XBL: Mik Pick PSN: Mik2Pick <cite>Mik_Pick posted [p:959734] in Oh snaps, ...

TheRock1525 03/28/12 4:14:00 PM #32:	No, see, here's the thing: I never, ever care about the review score. It's completely meaningless to me. What matters is the content of the review. A review of say, Dynasty Warriors, comes out and they give it a 4. I don't care that the score is a 4, I care what exactly they said. If they come up with valid points, then I'll take that to heart on my purchase. If the review boils down to "All you do is hit X" and "Oh boy another Dynasty Warriors game" then I'm going to ignore it. It's why I like watching GT reviews. Usually they have good content and opinions on their games. -- TheRock ~ Slow dramatic zoom-pan. Doesn't phase the hooded man. "You have issues." - MWC. Pot.

What matters is the content of the review. A review of say, Dynasty Warriors, comes out and they give it a 4. I don't care that the score is a 4, I care what exactly they said. If they come up with valid points, then I'll take that to heart on my purchase.

CalvinbalI 03/28/12 5:48:00 PM #33:	From: Mik_Pick \| #031 The game does look very good, but watching it makes me wish it was for PS3 / 360. Now I know it's not always about the graphics, and I do enjoy the Wii, but an epic RPG like this one would really benefit from the extra power. I've played through it, and believe me, the game looks good. Not on a micro level, granted, but the environments you play in are downright gorgeous. I can't tell you how many times I stopped everything I was doing and just looked around. Gametrailers blames this on the Wii, which is partially true, but it's obvious that they sacrificed polygon counts on individual models for superb draw distance. -- "It's a magical world, Hobbes ol' buddy...let's go exploring!" - Calvin http://img.imgcake.com/calvinfinalpngpy.png <cite>CalvinbalI posted [p:959736] in Oh snaps, ...

Lightning Strikes 03/29/12 5:55:00 AM #35:	From: transcience \| #059 I thought the text of the review didn't match the score. I expect tons of praise for a 9.3 score and it didn't really seem like an all-time game based on the review. then again, this is a site that dumped on AC2 and still gave it a 9.1 or something. not sure why people put so much stock into GT reviews besides their technical value and the voice. They flat-out called it one of the best games on the Wii. How is that not heaping praise? -- Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig <cite>Lightning Strikes posted [p:959738] in Oh snaps, ...
