While I understand your point, that flies in the face of the review policy set in place. The bottom line is that the game does, and will have, limited appeal for the majority of people who play the game. Simply because I can overlook the repetitious nature of the game, doesn't make it any better.

Part of my job as a reviewer is to have enough insight to know when I'm overlooking a flaw due to my own biases. The game has a very limited number of tracks with little to do aside from racing to the finish. That's a massive issue for all players who don't enjoy an extremely one-dimensional experience.

For me personally, this game is a 4.5/5, but due to the extremely limited appeal and the wording of our review policy, this game fits snuggly in the 4 star rating.

The bottom line is that this game is an absolute blast if you enjoy arcade racing games based on perfecting your runs. I'm itching to play the game right now as a matter of fact.

Looking good, the rest of the year is pretty solid for Nintendo games. Hopefully Nintendo will be announcing the release date for the 3DS soon.

It's no surprise to me that this game was rated well in Japan, it's right up their alley. If the battle engine wasn't as different as it is, I'd go as far as saying that this is a below-average game thanks to the straight level grind.

As far as this being the Wii's first traditional JRPG, I'd say that's 100% true. Every other one that might match the RPG or JRPG description have been far from traditional.

This game is looking pretty amazing. I'm not sure if it's going to turn out as good as it looks, but damn am I excited for it.

This game kicks ass and it has a ton of classic game references, most abundantly, Super Mario Bros.

Yeah, this is a little disappointing to hear, but at least they are upfront about it. It's always worse when they beat around the bush and pretend like something else is holding them up.

Also, it's not bad just having the online features omitted for now. I can deal with that, because chances are the online modes are secondary to the single player adventure anyhow.

There's something intriguing about this game to me. Platinum has proved themselves to be a quality developer, so I'm going to get my hopes up a little bit that this is going to turn out to be a solid title.

Actually, I never got around to writing impressions on Wii Party, but it was an alright game. I'm not a big party game fan, but it seemed like Nintendo did an alright job with it. I think in a family situation it would go over well.

I couldn't have less interest in playing this game. It seems like more of the same old Dragon Quest, which in my opinion, was never that interesting to begin with. I can respect those that are really into the series, but I think that the appeal of the game is limited to that crowd alone.

I might get it eventually and toss it in the collection, but for now I might strangle myself if I have to play another by-the-books JRPG.
