Here are the scores Nintendo\'s official magazine gave some of the Gamecube launch games:
- Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron 2 (5/5)
- Super Monkey Ball (5/5)
- Madden NFL 2002 (4.5/5)
- Luigi\'s Mansion (4/5)
- Waverace: Blue Storm (3.5/5)
On another note, Golden Sun got 5 stars.
-
C\'mon now. It\'s Nintendo Power.

Look valid to me nothing given to high or to low. BTW last time I got that mag I don\'t recall reviews... Was there a time when they had no reviews or was i just pretty stupid back in the day.
-
They had reviews, but they didn\'t give number scores, only the + (pluses) and - (minuses) of each game. That was a while back I believe.
I\'m glad NP is giving higher scores to games that deserve it (i.e. Monkey Ball :D ) other than their own games.
-
Maybe thats why I didn\'t notice, I wouldn\'t really consider that a review, I\'m used to number scores.

I hate Nintendo! It come to no surprise they rated NGC games so high...:o

Well, they rated Luigi\'s Mansion and Waverace: Blue Storm lower than a lot of other gaming sites and magazines. As for the two 5s, I guess that\'s their personal taste. IMO I think they should beat their reviewers and tell them to never give out 5s again.

So did most other mags and sites.. I thing Rouge Leader should get a 5 and maybe a 4.5 or so for the ball thing with a monkey in it.

At their core Nintendo games are not soley for children, but I place a lot of value on presentation and I don\'t want to look at cute, overweight, cell shaded, big-headed characters squishing/killing (in the most kind way possible) all sorts of mushrooms, animals, insects and vegetation. It takes me right out of the game, and disinterests me.
I\'m an adult and can handle entertainment geared towards adults and solely towards adults.

Well like gohan said. It is nintendo power so anything they said about nintendo should be ignored.

Most the scores seem somehow unusual. IGN Cube has been touting WR:BS as the greatest title in tha launch lineup and yet NP rates Luigi\'s Mansion higher. And as good as Monkey Ball may be, 5/5 means killer app in my book, and MB is no killer app.
The more I think about it, the stupider these 5 point scoring systems seem. Theres just to great a diffrence between a 4 and a 5 to even know how good a game is. And they\'re not nearly informative enough. The only thing worse that I can think of is Dailyradar\'s idiotic Direct Hit, Hit, Dud rating system.

EGM gave wave race pretty low scores, in fact it was the lowest they reviewed.

I think it hasn´t a lot of value for me. Strange scores...

I would not discount Nintendo Power. Oh, I agree they that are one of the worst magazine publications out there, but they have historically had very harsh reviewers on board. They are actually one of the few publications out there (magazine or online) that did not give Zelda - Ocarina of Time a perfect score.
PS - I do not subscribe to NP, do not buy their magazines, and would recommend that others likewise avoid them.
