IGN=98.
Eurogamer=100.
Gamespot=80

Lol Gamespot. You're so cute.

 

I despise Gamespot with a passion but who actually finds their reviews any use anyway. Their opinions are unjustified and reek of negativity towards Nintendo, everyone knows this.

 

Look here, they give the original Wind Waker a 9.3: http://uk.gamespot.c...the-wind-waker/

 

But HD gets a 8.0 because it's worse? Somewhere between early Gamecube and now they have become bias pigs.  How can a game with much prettier graphics, new features, GamePad usefulness and a harder difficulty of one of the best games ever made get a unjustified lower score?

Different reviewer opinion of the same game.

This is a remake of one of the greatest games of all time. I was expecting scores like this.

I thought only the digital download launches tomorrow morning, and the physical goods are on October 4th?

I'm getting the special edition console. I don't have a Wii u yet. GameStop still had consoles available for preorder, but not the physical game with ganondorf figurine.

I would rather them just give it a 9, 9.8 is just so annoying, no game should even be able to be 10/10

Heavens forbid if IGN does that to Nintendo.



I'm glade it's getting great reviews but ill wait till I can get a physical copy of the game.

When does that happen?

But the game is not perfect. It shouldn't get a 10 anyway. I rated the original a 9.5, so 9.8 would be legit. But I played it SO many times that I don't know if I should pick it up.


Since when does giving a ten mean the game is perfect because it doesn't. A game doesn't need to be perfect to get a ten.
