I am not surprised. This is pretty much exactly what I thought the game would get in reviews.

What? It's not like Wii threads aren't all full of "another crap Wii mini game compilation" fanboy bullshit.

Hillariously this seems to be both! Comedy gold!

-10 for managing to drop web 2.0 reference (twice) into a context that has precisely nothing to do with it. Everyone (in marketing) knows we're on to Web 3.1 this year anyway...

Isn't Warioware just a Bishi Bashi Special rip off in the first place though?

Man 20p packs of Tayto Bikers are surprisingly good value for money.

Yeah also: Web 2.0 is the worst marketing bullshit term ever. Kill it, kill it dead!

Ooh web2.0, it's got Web2.0 guys...I'm in web marketing and refuse to use that bloody statement.

It's just as annoying as:

"must do lunch"

"oh rar"

"chow"

"lunch...what's lunch?"

If Manhunt 2 featured people that used those phrases then it should be released with a U certificate, the planet is better off without them!

Also, and please be aware that I'm not knocking the score of a '6' here as:

a) I've not played it and

b) it's personal opinion

but how does that reflect the words in the review??? It was pretty much slated, almost all of the aspects of the game received a massive kicking and everything read like it was being said with a sneer on the reviewers face. Yet it gets a 6 at the end.

Fine it might actually be worth a 6, you should know as you played it, but the text doesn't back that up at all. If it's worthy of a 6 (as we're constantly reminded, that isn't a bad score at all) then there should be at least a good number of positives mentioned in the review.

I love Warioware dearly, but original it ain't.
As has been pointed out, It lifted wholesale from Bishy Bashy, including the surreal, bizzare mini games and many of the gameplay mechanics. Fortunately it improved upon them.
So maybe Dave should cut Hot Pixel a little slack.

@ dabo

I've just re-read it and other than one sentence near the end, I can't actually see anything that could be taken as positive or nice about the game. I can see loads of sentences, however, complaining about the presentation, the way it rips off WarioWare and the fact that it doesn't even compare favourably to WarioWare.

Also, why the love for starting sentences over and over again with either 'And' or 'Because'. It was a very stop-start read that had my brain frazzled by the end.

>EG staff and EG board members are so anti Sony it makes me sick.

Now i go in the halo review threads and EG are "anti microsoft"
I go in the resi 4 threads and EG are "anti nintendo"
I go in this thread and now EG are "anti sony"

Do you guys not maybe think that maybe they arent anti anything?

Here - They're comparing like games. One is obviously a copy of the other, and doesnt work half as well (apparently).

Not once does that mean they're more for one console than the other. If warioware was on psp it wouldnt stop it from being better than this game would it?

Smelly are you posting that in the wrong thread or have you read comments I haven't read? No one's claimed that EG are as far as I can tell!! o_O

I actually thought that this had been one of the most sensible comments sections on the whole site, probably because nobody is actually interested in Hot Pixel and not even 'deh fanbois' could attempt to stand up for it.

"EG staff and EG board members are so anti Sony it makes me sick. What's their problem with a comapany that makes the best hardare out there???"

If you don't know why you had yellowtruck on ignore and just took him off, you'll soon find out why you had him on there in the first place.
