Basically, the games getting bad reviews are the bad games. The majority of them are horrible-quality movie cash-ins and such.
You don't see games like Super Paper Mario and Zelda getting bad reviews, do you?
If you actually read the reviews you will see that some games like Red Steel get bad reviews because they ARE BAD. Others get bad reviews because the reviewer feels they are better on other systems. For instance godfather got a okay score but if you read the review they loved it. They just lowered the score because its the same game that came out for the ps2 2 years ago.
Mostly though, the wii has gotten only ports so far, therefore the bad reviews. You can tell developers just did not think the wii was going to sell and got caught off guard. Soon you will start to see better games and better reviews.

Which doesn't make a "bad" review.
There aren't really any great games for the Wii yet: the software is a bit lackluster at best.

No, I mean it be cool for games to be received that well but I look around the web and the majority of games are in the 5 to 6 category. I don't usually go off of reviews but it seems that other systems in the past usually had pretty balance starts. I guess you guys might be right though its the ports and lack of 3rd party support. I know any game, just about, that is produced by Nintendo is going to be well received. I guess I was just a little skeptical of all of the bad control reviews. A lot of times they ding the reviews with graphics though, but I think as long as their better than the last generation of systems they should be ok on the eyes for a long period of time.

Then why are you bringing this up then? Besides being pretty crappy overall, most of these games that are getting rough scores aren't "better than the last generation of games". Most of them are pretty ugly for a GCN game, and are well below the better looking games from last gen. There still hasn't been a Wii game released that looks better than everything from last gen, so that really shouldn't be your criteria.

No, I don't think you are 'rite'. SPM is good, Zelda is very good (but is entirely a last gen game, and below what should be the standards for this gen) and Sonic is very hit or miss.
I thought scores of 8 or above were classified as "great" by you guys. :P
I know what you mean though.
Sonic is a prime example of way games get low ratings. Most people played sonic for about 20 minutes then gave up on it, but they never got to the climax of the game where you get the hang of it. But hey, at least it's not Sonic the Hedgehog for ps3 and 360, That game was miserable. D:

not true.....gamers like mario party 8 deserved to get a very high rating. or atleast a high 8 or a low 9. when i saw the score gamespot gave Mario party 8 i was pretty dissapointed. Some games do get bad ratings because they are bad. But you can cheack other sites such as gametrailers.com i think they game mario party a decent rating...i think a 8.3. But the future games are going to rock.
