IGN is full of crap (re: Wii review)

[nicko68]

Maybe some of you think that about IGN already. Their review of Lego: Rock Band, where they gave it a 5.5, is completely off base.

Ok, yes we knew about no export and no DLC. And yes that sucks, especially export... I'd love to play some of these tracks in RB2 without having to switch over to Lego: RB.

But some of the other points are completely unfounded.

Bad graphics? First off, if you're worried that much about graphics, you aren't rocking hard enough. And second, the graphics are not horrible by any means. They may not be a shiny as the 360 or PS3, but not worth the bashing it got in that review.

And also the review complained that the text is too hard to read. Fearing another text fiasco that was GH: World Tour, I tried vocals and... no problem whatsoever. The text is fine. Makes me wonder if he was running the Wii on a 13" Goldstar TV circa 1982.

Just wanted to clear it up in case some read the review and had reservations, as I did.

I will say again, though, that the no DLC and especially no export to RB2 was an unfortunate decision.

Ya stupid review, not as much as 360/ps3 due to no export/dlc but 5.5 is stupid

Still better than GH Van Halen

So right you own review. It holds just as much merit as that one.

They gave the other versions a 7. I would have given the Wii version a 6 because of the lack of DLC and the graphics.

It's because of GH5 & RB2, and the high standards they set on Wii.

I still think RB2 is WAY better that GH5

I would have given the Wii copy a 4.5...

Reviews are subjective and IMO should be taken with several grains of salt.

No reason to go all coo-coo for cocoa-puffs about it.



Opinions vary wildly on just about everything, especially games and music and cars and..and... wow that list can go on forever.

With no export / online / dlc... 5.5 is generous. I'd have given it about a 3.

They know a bad game when they see it.
