[college_boy]

IT IS WORSE THAN GEARS AND OBLIVION BUT AT LEAST IT IS BETTER THAN MAJORA'S MASK AM I RITE?

 

[Kevtones]

Not only is the score rooted in RETARDED logic but its also an AWFUL review. Oh well.

(In reference to Gamespot's Yoshi's Island DS review):

Yep, and I agreed with you. I knew this was going to happen, but I didn't want to accept it.

 

[gamergirly]

Man! Now all I can do is be mad about the numbers

"hey guys"

 

[argon]

Preorder cancelled.

 

[BorkBork]

I have the feeling the score will be changed.

Just watch.

Damn.....Gamespot....Damn....Their credibility is gone.

Anyone could have told you that after watching their last segment with the Wii.

 

[CrapSandwich]

He couldn't just be a nice guy and give it a 9+.

 

[suaveric]

I hate to say it but I called it!

here

and

here

Gamespot and Jeff just aren't big on Wii

 

[Beezy]

WHAT. THE. ****.

To any one who's thinking about running into this thread and say that 8.8 is still a good score, SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET THE **** OUT.

 

[VultureDude]

solid, if not spectacular.

but not classic by any means.

 

[GSG Flash]

GS obviously did this to get attention. The fact that there is no ocean automatically makes TP 0.5 points better than WW. All in all, Gerstmann is a fat tool (he probably got tired out playing TP, and that's automatically 0.5 points off for him) whose reviews I don't even care about anymore. Does Greg Kasavin even work at GS anymore? He should have been the one to review this.

 

[medrew]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gerstmann

Recently he has come under fire by many Gamespot users for giving good games bad reviews on the basis of small unimportant points. On the Gamespot forums users have expressed frustration with his harsh reviews and history of underscoring good games such as Mario Kart 64. He is also now renowned for his worthless and pointless review of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

holy shit that was quick

 

[JDSN]

I think some people owe Amir0x an apology.

I think Amir0x is Jeff. :lol

Didn't think we'd see anything under a 9 for this.

:lol Gamespot will probably never live this one down. Good for generating web hits though, I would think.

you are a prophet and a sage! even though you like those crappy Martin books.

j/k! good show!

this is a port up, no one believes the wii parts seem tacked on? haha.

 

[Vic]

I'm sure I won't disagree with his review when I'll play the game myself. His complains doesn't seems to be stupid and biased like the gamedaily one.

[puck1337]

6.8, 7.9, 8.8 - any other infamous scores?

 

[jett]

Hey guys, heads up:

IN GAMESPOT, THE FINAL SCORE IS AN AVERAGE OF THE INDIVIDUAL ONES.

Each score has a different weight, though.

And you know what, they all make perfect sense. Too bad the way the score system works gives out a 8.8.

Bitch away!

 

[Beezy]

So - you've played through it and can counter his points?

OUT!

 

[Error]

wait why put a late game spoiler in the review? that's dumb

 

[GitarooMan]

This will be one for the archives. I haven't played it yet so he might have some good points

 

[gamergirly]

What an ATTENTION WHORE!!!!

Honestly. Theyre the ONLY site to give the game below a 9. This guy must really hate Zelda or something. Tacked on controls, outdatedness is -1 at the most. That's still a 9/10. Look at some of the games he's given high scores to. He's never going to see the end of this. Even with the NEXT Zelda comes out in 4 years, WE WILL REMIND HIM OF HIS ERROR!

 

[Y2Kev]

Guys, come on. Not nearly enough horrible ad hominem attacks in here yet!

 

[chase]

How long until the usual suspects latch on to his "controls feel tacked on" comment? You know, because this one guy actually gives his honest opinion and isn't a fanboy.

 

[Coin Return]

AUAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[TheCardPlayer]

Can't wait for IGN's review. Oh man...This is like a nightmare...I mean what the hell Gamespot? What the bloody hell?

 

[Rur0ni]

That wraps it up for GameSpot.

 

[castle007]

The Bad: graphics and sound sometimes go from nostalgic to dated.

WTF does that even mean??????

 

[Model 500]

like the shield bash, which is done by shoving the Nunchuk controller forward. Most of the time, performing this move resulted in a spin attack.

What the hell? Maybe he's doing it while using Z-targeting and doesn't know that if you do it in this mode you have to push forward from the analogue stick at the same time. I can't see any other reason for this.

 

[~Kinggi~]

He is probably the only one able to stand up to the fact that this is juist classic zelda rehashed and cleaned up with wii controls. You see ninty fans have this thing of being blind and all.

 

[fresquito]

wait why put a late game spoiler in the review? that's dumb

Because he's retarded, of course.

Hahahaha, I love it.

Opposite for the GCN version?

 

[The Faceless Master]

Perfect Dark Zero > Twilight Princess


RARE wins!

 

[genjiZERO]

I've been saying it all along... Zelda games became crap after the SNES

 

[Red Blaster]

Watch the GC version get a 9.8
