Listen up turtle, i meant underrated in review scores. U want to debate my opinion?

Cowabunga bud! ;p
Really though, Wii Sports Resort actually got some pretty damn stellar reviews, besides IGN...

NintendoLife - 9/10
Nintendo Power - 9/10
GamePro - 4/5
Offical Nintendo Magazine - 94/100
IGN - 7.7/10
IGN UK - 8.9/10
1UP - A- / A+

So what exactly are you talking about regarding it being underrated in Review Scores?

This is kind of a pointless debate, but... He mentioned MetaCritic, which collected 73 reviews of Wii Sports Resort (and an average of 80%), and thought that was underrated. You can't really argue with it by taking a random sample (in this case, 5 reviews of which 4 are on the higher end of the scale) from those 73 reviews and saying it scored alright...

Listen up turtle, you just took some high scores to try and make a point. I'm saying an 80 on metacritic (i hope u understand this is the result of all reviews) is a bit underrated. And again you try to review a game. When i wrote "want to debate my opinion?" i was sarcastic.

lol man...You're basically gathering up a ton of reviews(weather they're from horrible reviewers and sites, it clearly just doesn't seem to matter to you) and, sticking them in alittle machine, which then pops out alittle mathematical number which doesn't mean a damn thing.lol Hell you're including alot of crappy sites and reviewers in the mix that frankly just dont matter. it's pointless going by Matacritic. NintendoLife, Nintendo Power and IGN are my favorite personally to hit up for reviews. As it stands Wii Sport Resort has been getting good reviews and is in no way underrated unless YOU personally think it's a 10.

Thats a bad review of a great game, inappropriate and off-topic.

lol it wasn't a review really, just little snippets(funny word hehe) of what i thaught on it. I dont want to write up a long review, because nobody would care and because it's off topic. Anyways, Matacritic = Pointless

I basically just posted up the most popular and well known sites/magazines when compared to alot of the not so popular ones that filled that Metacritic List. But really, it is all pointless. I'm guessing he sees Wii Sports Resort as an amazing 10/10 title and that it never scored high enough for his liking. I cant see it as Underrated, because it got scores that it rightfully desserved

Listen up turtle,
Fact: I was referring to the 80 on metacritic, if u like it or not. Fact: I'm not gathering up the reviews, Metacritic does that for me. It's not yours to decide if it's pointless. Go ahead and write an e-mail to Metacritic debating that with them. You call sites and reviewers crappy while you just have shown us your off-topic and "amazing" review skills. I don't care about your opinion (about Metacritic), just stick to the subject!

probably Spyborgs. Everyone overlooked that one but it's actually a lot of fun.

Well, where's your review, man? I keep going back-and-forth on this. The negatives I saw in Gametrailers really put me off, but I can still be sold on it...Geometry Wars -- man, everyone should own that, it's so good I think I'll even get the DS version (plus you get to unlock an extra galaxy or something, right?).

Also, I looooooove the Excite Bots soundtrack so much that it makes it okay that I can't use my own songs like Excite Trucks. Totally underrated game. I think a lot of the games being mentioned are more underrated by gamers rather than critics. I'm pretty sure de Blob was universally praised. The other original IP from THQ that year, Deadly Creatures, is probably more a candidate for that label. Also Mushroom Men, which I think was unfairly treated in the press and is a great game.

deadly creatures was a decent beat-em-up...with bloody bug combos

@Sean, yes I thought Mushroom Men was amazing. Also love the soundtrack.

Been busy, man! Haven't had time to get through more than the first two chapters. Keep getting distracted by all the other games that came out since Borderlands. Plus, after Bayonetta, NMH2, TvC and likely God of War 3 down the line I'll have had my fill of beat-em-up action for a while, thankyouverymuch.

But yeah, I picked it up for dirt cheap, I think it's going for $10 at GameStop or something ridiculous like that. I got mine a couple weeks ago at Best Buy for $16, nobody bought it so the price just disintegrated. It's not the deepest of games but it's pretty fun in a Streets of Rage kinda way. Challenging, too.

Man, didn't really realize that beat-em-ups are making a huge comeback. Toss Dante's Inferno in there and you've got a whole load of punch-kick-face.

Ever been on IGN?

IGN gave it a 8.9 regardless. If you mean the community there, there are both sides. I'm on the side who thinks it's mediocre.

If anything NSMB Wii is overrated, IGN is on the money with their 8.9 review.
Wario Land Shake it! deservs a freaking 10
