Hm reviewing Wii games is difficult. Graphics for example: would a 10 be for the best possible on the Wii, or the best possible on whatever console? THen Wii games would never score higher than a 7.
So I know a lot of gaming sites rate stuff based on what's realistic on that platform. And I think that's fair.

Also speaking of graphics... what exactly are you rating? The technical aspects? That way Wii Sports should probably get a 2 for graphics. But when you look at how good something is on the eye... Wii Sports can suddenly get an 8 for graphics. It just looks fun.

Anyway... do I care about review ratings... Sometimes. There are some games which I just know I'm going to like (Zelda, Starcraft/Warcraft, Mario platformers...). But when I want to try something new, I'll read reviews and I'll also pay attention to the ratings. Only when I think the bad rating was giving for the wrong reasons will I try a game.
