I think this site is only awarding tens to games that show they're the best of the best when it comes to what this generation is offering. So if you don't have HD graphics, great online and of course unique gameplay then you're not getting a 10.

I feel that Mario Galaxy deserved a 10, but because it didn't have HD graphics or online play, they didn't feel they should award it a score that would mean the best of the best from this generation.

That's how I see it anyways. This is the reason why I think no Wii game is going to get more than a 9.5.

SMG is the closest to a ten. But no other title deserves it.

IMHO SMG and MP3 both should have been 10's.

True, but mario and zelda have been remade more than 4 times, and they are IMO nintendos best franchises.

Edit: not remade, but you get what I mean (more than 4 zeldas, more than 4 marios)

Wii's graphics just aren't there I think (some are). I also think that alot of people bias and think because it is mario, they shouldn't think it's fun because everyone will think it's a kid game.

I wonder: why care if a good game receive a 10 score? Is the game's quality and other factors good for players than a review score? And why should anyone care if a Wii game receives or never receives a "10" score at GameSpot? Is 9.0 or 9.5 good enough?

It's actually because NO game is perfect (and GS is biased). If there actually was a totally flawless game, the universe would probably end, and in the words of Yahtzee Croshaw "it would be awesome". And 9.5 is good enough, anyway.

It's better off if tens remain very rare anyways. Games that get 9.5 are usually deserving but if that score was bumped up to a 10 then the game is now considered overated.

There have been only 4 3D zeldas and only 3 3D Marios, all of which date back to the N64. :/

Just because the IP has been around for 20 years doesn't mean its been rehashed more than the more recent games.

There have been more than 4 MGS and GTA if you count MGS Acid , Acid 2 , Portable OPS , Portable Ops Plus and GTA Liberty City and Vice City Storeys.

This is the reason ^^^^

I also agree that Super Mario Galaxy should have been a perfect 10 / 10.

Because Super Mario Galaxy, the only Wii game worthy of a 10, was reviewed before GTAIV and MGS4 broke the 10 barrier.

Because Gamespot doesn't want to. Mario Galaxy got many many perfect 10s from other sites hence the 97% average and second highest rated game of all time on Gamerankings. It's probably the closest the Wii will get to a 10 however MotionPlus has huge potential to make much better games.

Pfft Gamespot giving Wii games 10/10s? I'd like to see that.

Ign is more reasonable and gave MP3 a 10 (my friend told me)

And games like brawl get tens from manyyyyy reviewers

Matt Cassamassina said once in their Podcast that SMG deserves a 10 score more than GTAIV

for what its worth, Boom Blox got an A+ from 1up (which is equivalent 10)

just wait for Wii Music im sure it will get a 10...........

I can't believe people are forgetting Vice City and San Andreas...

There have been 8 Marios, 7 Zeldas and 6 GTA games (not counting hanheld variation or spinofs of any of the three).

I can't speak for MGS4 because I've not played it but as for GTA4, the reviewers here at GS and other places were clearly drunk with hype. That's the only way I can explain why a game that does almost nothing different than its predecessors can get a 10.

MP3 should've gotten a 9.7 (damn GS and rating system), and thats coming from a non-fanboy bias (I hope).

SMG deserves a 10, though. The game is perfect in just about every way. Who cares if it doesn't have online? Would you want to make a squad-based Zelda?

there's only one Wii game that deserves a 10 imo, and that's RE4. simply put, when compared with the best PS3 and 360 games, most of the best Wii games just don't stack up. that's why they don't get perfect scores.

Actually, IGN gave it a 9.5. It's still a very well-deserved score, though.

I laugh at those who say GS is biased. Have you guys checked out other scores from other sites as well? Let's face it, not many worthy games on the Wii deserving a 10.

I really hate Matt. Whatever he says gets people hyped up for no reason or it just doesn't make sense. IGN also gave GTA IV a 10 but SMG and 9.7. If he felt that SMG deserved a 10 more, why didn't he just give it to it?

Why isn;t there a solid game for the wii that deserves a ten?Seigfried249

They haven't made one yet that's why, ask nintendo or some other dev why they haven't made a solid game that deserves a ten.
