THIS. Can anyone tell me why? Because I get beaten a lot playing online and I'm doing exactly what the game tells me to do (or at least that is what I like to think). 2/10 Would not recommend.

Not just that, but I certainly haven't been letting negative reviews put me off from getting games I think I might like.
Otherwise I wouldn't buy all these Dynasty Warriors games I've been getting over the past month, nor would I buy the EDF games.
And guess what I've been playing lately? Nothing but those. Loving it. Screw the haters.

The Last of Us and The Wonderful 101 are inseparably connected for some reason.
I'm guessing it's the "The" in the titles.

I've only been reading the more negative reviews, as I'm already sold on the game so I'd rather challenge my established perception of the game than reaffirm it.
but gonna give this guy's review based on your post.
Edit: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that too much content details!
So pretty good all round so far! =D
The Blistered Thumbs review is baffling though.
As for controls, what I've played with the demo they were pretty much spot on. Using a mixture of stick for quick fire morphs, and the screen for powerful ones seemed pretty intuitive.
Those saying that you shouldn't have to learn controls, personally I disagree.
The closest thing we have to a universal constant control-wise is "Press A to Jump"
And TW101 releasing that close to GTAIV in the US feels just like the Rayman Origins launch all over again. D=

If anything, I think the demo was the best thing they could have done to stave off the lower reviews.
Give them ~15 times to play through the game and see if they enjoy it after getting used to the controls. Whereas with reviewers, they had to keep progressing forward to get the review out. Not fully defending the game's controls, but I think the demo should give people more of what to expect at least.

Not this shit again.

kamiya should have made the game start on very hard and you unlocked the hard mode by dying a lot
We were going to get a GTAV regardless of whether GTAIV got 2s across the boards or 10s. Let's not pretend otherwise, it's rockstar we are talking about and they do whatever they want regardless of what anyone has to say.
With that being said, if W101 doesn't get a sequel, the only blame will be because they decided to release on a system that is trying to gasp for its last breath.
Scrubs can play on "very easy" or "easy" mode, basically as a pure beat-em-up if they want, so the difficulty of the game shouldn't be a factor in the review.

Why are people discussing and worrying about the sequel of a game that isn't even out yet?
Yay spoilers I guess.
If people honestly think that Nintendo is going to touch this IP ever again they will be sorely disappointed.

holy shit, wow. Seriously?
Stealth port-begging drenched in bitterness?

exactly my thoughts,
most of these reviews would be far lower scores if it weren't for the demo,
ign sounded like they were on the verge of a 4 or 5,
they got so much backlash from people playing the demo that i'm certain it pushed up the score.
SHOCKING: A platinum game has a rival that looks similar to you and has a comparable moveset.
I have barely any desire to play this game so no port begging here. I just don't understand why people only release on the Wii U.

the idea that rival fights in this game would be considered a spoiler is ridiculous

GAWD, this was painful to watch.
The game functions fine, it was the game drawing that didn't once complete the drawing connecting both coaches.
Please don't.

Not too hard to imagine that this could get a sequel:
1) Does about a million worldwide over the next two years (not great but probably profitable at that point)
2) Nintendo needs some more games because HD development is hard
3) There's already a TW101 engine and assets
4) Cheap, quick turn around sequel
5) ???
6) Profit

they probably best serve their readers by playing the game in exactly the way they would expect their readers too.
I'm not sure why he wouldn't follow age recommendation (12+). Or why his 12+ year old child wouldn't know what Google is.

But I didn't know about that before
It's a Kamiya action game
You know that Nintedo paid for this game, don't you? I don't think TW101 would get a sequel without existing in the first place.
Don't you think though that the process of reviewing a game should be comprised of a certain degree of objectivity? What if a particular reviewer hates a certain type of game, should he rate it lower just because it's not his favourite genre?
It's not just a matter of conveying one's experience with the game, that'd be a simple opinion, not a review. A reviewer should take into account:
- The value of the game, what you get for the price you pay (something which is almost never taken into account).
- How innovative is that game for its own genre, or how well the formula of the genre is conveyed in its gameplay and controls.
- How much it manages to do technically in regards to the maximum specs of the system it's played on (graphics and sound).
- He should aknowledge any artistic traits of the game.
- Most importantly, he should be able to see what the game tried to accomplish as a whole, and decide if the game reached its self-imposed goal, or if it failed trying to reach it.
By people you mean Nintendo? Probably because its their platform and they want to support it.

Never give up.
It's a good thing to know about for any parents looking to buy this for their kids. Worth mentioning, shouldn't affect the game's score.
Bit dumb of Platinum to do this I must say. Talk about cutting off your sales potential even more.
Between the defenders with stupid arguments and the people who absolutely want this game to be shit and die for some reason despite high scores, I'm really starting to think people on this board have issues.
Oh well, talking about videogames on the internet was a bad idea to begin with.

What the fuck
Quick somebody donate a ruler to IGN!
Well of course the scores are going to be all over the place, it's a 3rd party Nintendo exclusive Platinum Hardcore title. What else did you expect?
Whatcha got Nirolak huh?!
In all seriousness, The reviews seem good enough. The demo was fun but it didn't blow me away, and they say the controls are what's wrong, I had none of that so I'm not that worried, c'mon release already!

Seems like a fair point
People would kick up a fuss if Link made a dick joke in the next Zelda, too.

But I didn't know about that before
all action games should have rival fights
it is both awesome and tradition at this point

this is kamiya , i wouldn't put it past him
Reviews can be written in any manner, how well they're written or the way they're written is what dictates if a review is good or not. They don't need to follow the guidelines you posted.
