Damn I was about to post it. Funny since GI gave it a 6.5.

Great score!

Good score. Wonder what GS will rank it? My guess is 7-8.nintendoboy16

I didn't expect it to be that high. Good job, Eurocom.

Wow, guess I got owned. I had it hyped as below A :lol:

Ohwell, there's still a chance Gamespot will underrate it :twisted:

I'm suprised at the graphics score. From what I've seen it looked so ugly.

Different standards for the Wii brah.

9.0? Really surprising, but I'd still put the odds of getting anything above AA here pretty low.

Not really, pperfect scores for GI are rare compared to Gamepro, PSM and many other mags. They only give them to games that deserve them, maybe a little more than GS but handing them out like candy is an overstatement.

Gameinformer gave Modern Warefare Reflex the same score (6.5)

From the MWR review:

"Someday a developer might come up with an FPS control scheme that works on the Wii. Today is not that day".

From the Goldeneye Wii review

"Don't bother playing this without a ****c Controller Pro".

From GI's Metroid Prime Trilogy review

"Aiming and panning your view with the remote is inferior in every way to the traditional scheme from the GameCube titles. Since there is no way to play with a ****c or GameCube controller, you're stuck playing good last-gen games with a gimpy waggle interface. The Metroid Prime series is still strong, but even new players who never picked up the originals would be better served tracking them down in bargain bins than struggling through this subpar collection."

See a pattern emerging?

From IGN:

"That said, honestly, the game has some of the best Wii Remote controller support seen in a first-person shooter, and with practice it's clear that the quick and direct aiming of the Wii pointer is the true way to play this game. The Remote support is second only to The Conduit's crazy OCD level of customization, but in GoldenEye you have full input on pointer sensitivity, rotation speed, invert look, and other options, and everything you adjust is saved and applied to individual profiles that you can utilize in multiplayer."

[QUOTE="AmazingGaming"][QUOTE="Fried_Shrimp"]I would quickly like to lay down some OWNAGE to people shouting 9GN.....! Modern Warfare Reflex reviews Gamespot: 8.5 IGN. 7.0Fried_Shrimp

Yeah, GS does tend to rate games lower it seems, but thats defintely not always the case, and more often then not, I agree with IGN. I mean GS has has some really awful reviews, like giving mario kart 64 a 6.4, assassins creed 1 a 9.0, and many other games like baten kaitos, got a unjust review score.

Well there you have it, the GI people are Dual Analog lovers and don't realize its the worst way to play an FPS :P.

Different standards for the Wii brah.

It means some people can get behind and adjust to motion controls and some can't? :oops: Seriously though, I have played a few Wii shooters in my time, it's just a different adjustment, but sooner or later I realize the controller IS perfect for shooters, we just needed shooters to be fun to play and worthwhile on the system.

yoshi_64

C'mon!

Unless Gameinformer pays one guy to do all their reviews, this consistency is odd, to say the least.

Those Metroid Prime Trilogy comments are downright idiotic.

Even though I don't normally play online it sucks that this game doesn't have any mic support. That doesn't sound fun as it it is always cool to find some virtual friends to go along with your real friends.

:lol:

Yeah, I suppose.

Yep definitely getting Goldeneye!

Sounds like a game rated high cause its only on the wii. From what they said, the same game on a hd console would be a 7-7.5 at best. Short sp, framerate problems, bad mp lobby system, no voice chat? Heck, the perfect dark remake on xbla sounds leagues better than this. It would have been a 10 on the wii in its current formmtradr43

Maybe I missed it, but are there unlockables in SP? I hope so, and I hope the difficulty matters. I loved unlocking things in the N64 version! THinking about buying the game today now :P.
