IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10

[Tyeforce]

I know it's been posted already, but I wanted to make a thread about it so everyone sees. IGN (y'know, the "you can't spell ignorant without IGN" IGN, the very same that has been known to be very biased against Nintendo) has just reviewed Super Mario Galaxy 2, and they gave it a perfect 10 in every category. See it for yourself:

For the last hour or so, I've been reading a bunch of Super Mario Galaxy 2 reviews. Each and every one of them is full of nothing but positive comments. It seems to have completely blown everyone's expectations, somehow completely topping the original Super Mario Galaxy, and, dare I say it, every other Mario game before it. Of course, that's a matter of opinion, but an awful lot of people are expressing that opinion, and I can't wait until Sunday to see if it holds true for me (and I'm sure it will, and I've possibly never been more excited for a game in my entire life). Seriously, I cannot express this enough... If you have a Wii, GET THIS GAME. If you're a gamer, there's really no excuse for you to not have this game in your library. It's truly a game for everyone, and an amazing one, at that. From everything that I've heard and seen, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be an absolute blast. I just can't wait to experience it for myself now. Just a little longer... Sunday can't come soon enough!

Darnnit. I preordered it so I'll get it a day after it comes out. I only preordered it cause of the gamestop special for it.

I kid you not, I've actually been brought to tears from reading these reviews. Sweet tears of joy and excitement. Dammit, I just want it NOW!!

Eh, I think it's gonna be a wonderful game and all, but I'm not going to read/listen to reviews that give out perfect scores.

Why not?

Well, it's not perfect, no game is.

And I tend to read lower scored reviews anyway to have a more realistic view on a game's merit, if I bother watching/reading them at all, which I usually don't.

While it's true that no game is 100% perfect, IGN must have a very good reason for giving Super Mario Galaxy such a score. Besides, the score doesn't matter. The context of the review does. And, believe me, the context is great, on every Super Mario Galaxy 2 review I've read.

I guess that's true.

I'll take your work for it that the review is much more than "BEST GAME EVER" but in most cases, that's pretty much what perfect reviews are.

Regardless of reviews, I can't deny I'm excited for this game.

Also, at least watch the video review, if you haven't. There's nothing to read, as it's all voiced to you. And you get to see gameplay while you listen to the review. And the review's great. Really, they justify their perfect score very well.

I wish I got to play the game early. I want it now.

 

[Tyeforce]

Lol, I just noticed that I accidentally called this thread "IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy a perfect 10" instead of "IGN gives Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10". Fix'd, lol.

 

[Mr. L]

Ugh, I want this game so badly, but I don't know if I should get it, I've boughten so many games these past few months that I haven't finished :s

 

[Pokeman]

maybe i should get. next payday i might

 

[Pear]

I don't think it's a ten. Of course, I haven't played it yet, but I played the first and just found it meh. I actually sold it back to Gamestop. ;P
Judging from this, I don't think think this game is a 10. IGN almost never gives that rating out, so think it's weird that they give it out to this. I probably will end up buying it when I have the money. My first new Wii game in two years. XD

I forget if console games are graded by Metacritic, but if they are check their score whenever.

 

[JasonBurrows]

In my personal opinion, I.

1. Read reviews which push my mind towards getting it.
2. Ask people who own things for their own input on it.
3. Read more about the game
4. Finally decide.

 

[Yokie]

I'm saving the money I got for it. I hope it'll be awesome as they say.

 

[Micah]

I won't be picking this up for a long time thanks to still having to pay my computer off. Oh well, I wasn't that excited about SMG2 anyway. I never liked the first one either so I don't really care anyway.

Personally, I dislike IGN reviews. I also dislike reviews that rate games extremely high. I want reviews that point out all the flaws in the game.

I much prefer a review like this:

Either way, I'm not sure whether I'm going to get this game. I've got to the point where I'm just plain bored of seeing a plumber jump around on my screen. We'll see after it's released, though.
