What do you think gamespot will give the game when it comes out?

[Shishou]

8.9, unless they have Brawl advertisements on the site.

 

[Rash]

If the game lives up to the hype, meaning it surpasses Melee in pretty much every way possible, then I can see it maybe netting a 9.0 from Gamespot. Now that Gerstmann is working for them anymore, the SSBB review may actually have some decent credibility behind it this time.

To be perfectly honest, for SSBB not to get mostly scores in the 9s would be a crime, especially since it's going to do as much or more to further the Smash franchise than Halo 3 did to further the Halo franchise (and Halo 3 happens to have very high scores, many which would be bloated, and this is coming from someone who likes the game).

 

[ARX-7 Arbalest]

u kno, ive lost all credit in gamespot following gertsman gate. i never liked em from the start but that whole controversy just ended my already miniscule support of them

i rely on ign an gametrailers for my reviews

however, if i had to guess, gamespot would probably give it an 8.5 at the highest but ssbb will probably end up with like a 7.0 if we're lucky

 

[ARX-7 Arbalest]

I'm not going to let a reviewer tell me whether or not I should buy a ****ng Smash Bros. game. There is no chance, unless I die, I will not get this game.(and even then I might still)

yea i mean considering we're all members of a smash bros related community...i dont think its gonna matter what the review is

i think adam sessler said it best when xplay did a preview of smash bros

"x-play will have the full review when...oh hell, you're probably just gonna buy the game anyways"

the thing could get a 7.0 or a 6.0 but im willin to bet at least 7 out of 10 members of this forum will still buy it

 

[Layupfreak]

This SHOULD get 9.5. considering everything they packed into the game

 

[shinnok-fan64]

They'll give it a 3 because that's how much IQ all of the reviewers combined possess.....

It deserves a 9.5-10 range though, at least.

 

[i8waffles612]

go to gamerankings.com It combines other sites score into one big total score :D

 

[Banjodorf]

Gamespot fails. Theyll give it maybe a 7. I dont care about them. brawl deserves a 9000.

 

[XxAlucardxX]

if they do have brawl ads they will give it a higher score, because they fired the reviewer of Kane and lynch because he gave it a 6.5 and it was advertised a lot on the site. if brawl is not advertised then 7.5 if it is then 8.5 or 9 but nintendo games are barely advertised.

 

[Bassoonist]

I'd say an 8.5 - 9.0. I can't see it being any higher or lower than that.

 

[Uchiha.Sanosuke]

I've never ever been to GameSpot, so I won't even bother trying to guess.

Uhh...Game Informer will give it a 9.5?

 

[Magically Enhanced Hobo]

I've never ever been to GameSpot, so I won't even bother trying to guess.

Uhh...Game Informer will give it a 9.5?

Yeah, Game Informer is pretty fair.

 

[ripman3]

What do you think EGM will give it?

 

[The Director]

I don't follow Gamespot anymore after their whole Kane and Lynch fiasco...

The only reviews I listen to are from X-Play. They're the only game reviewers who are completely unbiased and as they say, brutally honest.

IGN's pretty good, but let's face it: Matt's completely biased when it comes to Nintendo reviews. He's a great guy, but way too much of a fanboy. Every time a big game comes out for the Wii (Corruption, Galaxy, Brawl) he says it's the Wii's best title and you should go buy it blah blah blah. (although he's always right )

 

[XxAlucardxX]

I dont like xplay they rate alot of games 5's that dont deserve it, game informer is really good though. ive been looking in game informer and ign more now because of the kane and lynch thing

 

[lazychi]

i dont care about the reviews any game site gives a game and i especially try to ignore GS anyway im guessing mid to high 8's but this is because fighting game popularity isnt what it used to be

 

[Andydark]

Also, according to IGN, an 8.5 is an amazing score.

Random fun fact.

 

[retro gamer 6]

The only time I see Gamestop-hating as apporpriate is in reagrd to the score they gace Twilight Princess (8.8? Get outta here...).

what?! thats a load of crap! twilight princess was a perfect 10!

 

[Brawler1432]

The real suspense is in what IGN gives it.

 

[AMPMClock]

Probably around 8.5-9.2

 

[CatFreeeek]

Well if Gamespot gave Wario Ware 9.1 or wotever then Brawl shud get 10.

 

[miller483]

LOL you've never seen their reviews of anime games, have you?

 

[saif442050]

i think IGN will give it a 9.3-9.6 and game spot will give it a 9.0 or 9.5 (becuas they gave Galaxy a 9.5 so they atleast recognize a good game, even when it isnt a shooter on the 360)

 

[autobzooty]

Yeah, Gamespot doesn't really matter. IGN is important, and I think IGN is very fair in their reviews. I'm glad that they're harsh because maybe it'll be enough to get Nintendo's head out of its ***.

 

[GoldenS1104]

i think from watching videos and reading posts from people who went to e for all it should get a 9+ but i think gamespot will give it a 7 or 7.5 maybe an 8

The previous games didn't do as well as they should have either, but I read their reviews and it seems the main complaint was due to the lack of single player. This time, however, they'll have to give Brawl a higher score cause they won't be able to come up with an excuse that justifies giving Brawl an average score. Seriously... it has everything!

 

[Xanderous]

Gametrailers is the most in-depth and objective.

Gametrailers is the most in-depth and objective.

I like them for footage and features and stuff, but I don't usually go to them for reviews.

 

[Xanderous]

They're very specific.

 

[Atire]

9.8 prabably lol, gamspot never gives 10's out..........

 

[mickaleaf]

10 OR ELSE! Meh, I think I'm a little aggresive.

 

[Cervantes]

You can't really call them sony fanboys. They gave NiGHTS a relatively high score, where as IGN, which I see as a slightly nintendo biased site, gave it a fairly mediocre score. So I don't think they're biased. Personally, I see them giving it somewhere between a 7.5 and a 9, but I can't honestly see them giving it a higher score than a 9.

 

[jupiter]

gamespot is run by braindead pedophiles. I could care less what score they try to come up with.

 

[Fandangox]

well i go to Wikipedia....

 

[XxAlucardxX]

Wikipedia gives reviews? i dont think so

 

[The Director]

LOL you've never seen their reviews of anime games, have you?

Yeah, they hate anime games. Them bashing on anime is one of the best parts of the show. Hmm...but lately they've been getting good scores. ???

I think Brawl will get a 4 from them.

 

[SU_Remo]

Yeah, I find many other publication's more credible than Gamespot. (Especially with their LoZ: TP review.) I think they'll give it over a 9, though as all other gaming sites/magazines will.

Gamespot does their ratings by .5, so there are only two scores it could get over 9 (9. 5 or 10).

 

[Chromepro]

galaxy got a 9.5
you never know...I dont think galaxy deserved it
I personally like gamespot not gamestop as reffered to above.

 

[zurf23]

Who cares about game spot. I don't use their site anyways. It only matters what you think, mah boi.

Gamestop is a retailer guys. We're talking about journalism, not customer reviews.


Try IGN.
