Seeing wildly disparate reviews is not uncommon on the Internet, where everyone has a chance to be heard (if they yell loud enough); not everyone is going to have the same opinion of a game depending on personal preference, experience, and more. What happens when a harsh, negative review with supportive reasoning of an anticipated video game goes up? Well, heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a developer scorned."
Story in a nutshell: Joystiq writer bags on Conduit 2 with very negative review. Conduit 2 developers get pissed, realize the Joystiq reviewer has a published book on Amazon, and then flock to Amazon and leave nasty reviews in retaliation.
Pathetic. If you're going to create something for the public to see (and pay for) you have to expect and ready yourself for negative feedback. Retaliation like this is just childish.
I found the game really good and i don't pick up alot of wii games now a days.
Haha, that's just sad.
If you release a product, you better be prepared to receive some negative press along with the good.
wow go writer freedom of speech!
Thanks for advertising the book, I just bought it!
