"screw the haters who don't 'get'" Hope that doesn't mean anyone who doesn't like the game doesn't "get" it? Chances are I won't really like it much, but then as you know I'm not much of a fighting game fan (except for IK+). Of course that doesn't make it a bad game Im with you if by haters you mean fanboys/trolls of other systems. Tools.

Foo, Santino: Well, that's just the crux of the whole issue, isn't it? I have no problem with anyone not liking any game; that's a subjective thing, and no-one has any cause to argue with that. The kicker is when people take that illogical extra step and decide that because they don't like it, then that means that it's a bad game worthy of censure, reviewers and other players be damned.
...then again, it's a somewhat futile point to make in the end, isn't it? After all, if it was part of human nature to realise that somebody else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right, the world would be a much more pleasant place all round... |

The game also includes lots of other characters. What's the problem?
The only thing in this thread I take issue with is smelly's denunciation of Killer7's "unnecessary" violence and gore. I don't know if you played the game much, smelly, but the plot of Killer7 is probably the darkest thing imaginable. I mean, you play as a multiple-personality assassin going around murdering thousands of people after some kind of weird viral holocaust wipes out the world, and your targets are child rapists half the time. Yeah, there's going to be some gore in there. |

"smelly: why do you always cite 360 owners as some kind of devil worshiping hate mongers?"
I dont. That'd include myself in that category then wouldnt it? But.. Oh.. I dunno.. perhaps read the posts in this thread.. and notice all the negative "trolling ones" are from the same people as you see in the 360 threads... It's not 360 owners i have a problem with.. it's 360 trolls. Look for posts in this thread by: mandeep100, TraffordAvenger, XdarXideX, miiiguel And they're the ones i DONT have on ignore (there's another 15 posts i cant see without logging out) The ps3 owners seem to keep themselves to themselves though. :-) "Oh noes, 9! The fanboys are coming for you Tom. Run!" Notice not a single wii owner has mentioned the score though.." --- Badabingbadabang. |

My girlfriend's mate came into our apartment the other day, pissed, and I was sat there playing Sega Superstars Tennis, then out of the blue after watching it for a few minutes she said '' Ohh my God, look how childish this game is, aren't you a bit too old for stuff like that?''
To which I promptly replied ''Fuck off!'' She said nothing else. |

Lol, smelly must ignore at least 15 people per Wii article (usually for calling him a cock, which he is). The poor fool can probably only see a few posts, probably only his and Les'...
/Smellys mentatility - Does person X love the Wii? This must include sexual contact! - Does person X worship Nintendo? No, I mean actually pray to them in the same way I do? If the answer to either question is no, I must ignore person X. |

anyone noticing a pattern that the mario kart review read like a 9, but got an eight and this one read like a 10, but got a 9
maybe there's a compulsory mark taken off for the graphics not being able to be as good that they just don't mention , or something lame like that |

Well I'm sorry that the SSBB fans' opinions are BETTER than mine but I just don't see why this game or any of the previous efforts deserve such high scores (or most Nintendo 1st party efforts for that matter) from Eurogamer. They're not THAT good... be honest.

The thing is with Mario games, by and large the standard of them is extremely high. I honestly can't think of one Mario game I've personally played and gone "Meh, that's shit" Mario is an icon around the world that you could argue is guaranteed to sell games, whether they're good or bad. Kudos to nintendo for keeping them at such a high standard. |

But Sunshine isn't "awful" it just isn't as good as a Mario platformer should be.

It definitely wasn't on a par with Mario 64, but if it wasn't Mario you'd still say it was a pretty good game. It's just that in effect it didn't live up to the hype. I still got alot of enjoyment out of it though, in fact I started playing it again a month or two back when I found the disc. My girlfriends 6 year old daughter loves it ;) |

evild_edd: Haven't you been paying any attention at all? Read any review of this game, such as the one that this comments page is attached to. There's a fighting game underneath the fan nods, and a hugely acclaimed and popular one, at that. To say that you don't like it is fine; to pretend that it doesn't exist is just contrary and stupid.

"Super Smash Bros. franchise = MEH
I understand the lure of fan-service; but to eek an entire franchise out of it is just plain dull. Nintendo, please stop making these games and release some original IP" You see... replace smash bros with "halo 3" and "nintendo" with "microsoft" and i'd say the exact ssame thing |

Nah you're alright "bdc", we "nintendo freaks" don't need one guy on Eurogamer to tell us the game's worth a ten so we can wet our pants over how good it is.
I just get your mum to scream to me how good it is when i'm finishing off on her obsurdly unattractive face :D Cheers! |

LOL@ Landmasters comment!!
I dont buy into all this fanboy bollox that always rears its head. I just like videogames regardless of platform. Wii,360, PS3, PC, PSP, DS all have quality games so i like to just pick and choose what i like. Just reminds me when i was a kid and there was the Speccy vs C64 debates, then NES vs Master System, Snes vs Megadrive etc.. YAWN!! I liked melee so will no doubt pick this one up as well! |

i got this on import about 2 months ago, this is no Melee. While i appreciate they wanna make the single player deeper they totally missed on this. Its just 10 hours of dull, what looks like proceduraly generated levels. The only reason you force yourself on is the character unlocks.
Multiplayer on the other hand is amazing, get a group of people round (or online) and this becomes an energetic, adrenaline fest. The new smash finishers introduces a source of unpredictability that throws even veterans off. The clamber to get the smash throws all skill out the window in a scramble. |

> Speccy vs C64 debates, then NES vs Master System, Snes vs Megadrive Dude, what country are you from? In the UK it was Speccy Vs. C64, Amiga Vs ST, SNES Vs. Megadrive, etc.. NES Vs. Master system? Are you American? |

^Pretty sure it's because you're looking at it the wrong way - try to think of the inclusion of Nintendo characters as an added bonus (or negative, depending on your views.)
I'm almost completely sure I would love this game even if it were all original characters. It's a fun fighting game - one that trades highly technical controls for highly accessible controls. That's not to say it's not technical at all, or that it's not a deep fighter for those who want to play it that way. And of course I loooovvveee that the cast is made up of all Nintendo's key and not-so-key characters. |

My brother is not a gamer but he loved melee (so did I). Something about Princess Peach smashing Mario over the head with a mallet appealed to him. Can't argue with that.
