RUMOR: bad Spiderman 3 Wii reviews because review copy was WRONG COPY? |
Ó
Aeropause never clarified from what source this tidbit came, only to say it was "gossip". But their report notes that this "gossip" claims that the reason why the Wii version of Spiderman 3 sucked was because the review copy from Vicarious Visions wasn't supposed to be the copy delivered to the reviewers."It was an early version of the game that was never intended to see the light of day." If this rumor's true, then someone at the Vicarious or Activision mail rooms didn't get the memo. Or it's a case of the unintended old switcheroo (moral of the story: properly label your discs. For example: you do not want your... um, night-time recreational videos to land in the wrong hands).
The more cynical might suggest that this is only a lame excuse (or worse: a bone for the hungry hungry critics to chew on). Still Aeropause's suggestion was that a reviewer ought to buy a retail copy of the game and do a side-by-sider with the review copy he or she has. Of course, that negates the entire perk of being a reviewer - free games via review copies - but the interests of truth and being fair to the game, and the developers, does mean that sooner or later, there will be a followup to this lead, either from Aeropause (who will be calling Vicarious) or some other reviewer.
That said, who wants to shell out money for the Wii Spiderman 3?

Judging from the scores reviewers gave it, the review copy was much better than the retail version.
14 users on Metacritc have rated it at 4/10

LOL. This is bollocks. The game got bad reviews because the game was *****. Its a spider-man movie game, you figure it out.
The First 2 Spiderman Movie Titles were the best proof in the world that you COULD make a good movie game.
The ONLY reason I kept my Nintendo Wii so long was to see how great Spider Man 3 was.......I sold my Wii today!
Yeah, right. You really expect anyone to believe that you bought a system and sold it based on your first reaction to a single game? You are a moron.
