Star Fox Zero Review - MMOGames.com

Riding on the coat tails of nostalgia Star Fox Zero gives a lackluster performance leaving the MMOGames reviewer wishing for something more.

Wow, so many terrible reviews for a game that was supposed to be a huge success on the Wii U. What was Nintendo thinking when they made this game? Did they even play test it before release? What a huge disaster.

Sigh.

Hater hating and, yet again, only showing his face on a negative review, but not showing up at all on any of the positive ones.

This isn't a "disaster", you're blowing this way out of proportion in your happy hate crusade against everything Nintendo. It's exactly what it is: a game with a mixed critical reception.

No, not "hating", just really surprised that Nintendo would allow a broken game like this to be released. It was supposed to be a huge hit on the Wii U, but clearly it bombed.

69 overall score on Metacritic, with most reviews mentioning the terrible controls. A mediocre game at best.

There were very few "positive" reviews for Star Fox Zero, and the few I saw were from diehard Nintendo fansites that rave about anything Nintendo releases, no matter how bad it is.

Bottom line, Nintendo obviously never play tested the game, because if they did, it would never have been released in its current state.

The game isn't broken, dude.

Broken means unplayable. Star Fox Zero is perfectly playable.

Yes, it has an unconventional control scheme. But it works.

A broken control scheme means it's unresponsive, imprecise, and / or slow. Star Fox Zero has none of these issues.

And speaking of Metacritic: there are more positive reviews than negative ones. Let's take a look at the score tally.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

100 to 90 = 3.
89 to 80 = 20.
79 to 70 = 22.
69 to 60 = 17.
59 to 50 = 7.
40 = 1
20 = 1

As for your claim about the high scores being given by Nintendo websites. Take a look at Metacritic, again. You will have to scroll all the way down to place #18 to see the first score given by a Nintendo-centric website... and it's an 80. There are exactly three scores given by Nintendo websites, and all of them gave it an 80. All of the other scores were given by non-Nintendo sites.

If we can agree that a "good" score range from 70 to 100, then those "good" scores given by Nintendo websites are only 3... out of a grand total of 45.

Again, Star Fox Zero is exactly what I said it to be: a game with a mixed critical reception. Not a disaster, as you put it.

So, the real bottom line here is that yes, you're "hating". You aren't looking at the facts. Again: you're so blindsided by your Nintendo negativity that you're cherry picking the most convenient facts for your hate crusade. Seriously, it's astounding how one-sided you are on everything regarding Nintendo.

Here's the thing: you actually say some things that are true, in many of your posts. But you smear the very same posts by also spouting irrational hate against Nintendo and hyperbole (just like you're doing about everything regarding Star Fox Zero, for example), that your opinion completely loses its merit.

Calm down and try to be a bit more objective. You seem capable of that, at least regarding other consoles and other games, so do the same about Nintendo. At least trying that wouldn't hurt.
