This months Edge review scores are in and what an issue it is, with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword scoring a whopping 10/10 and Super Mario 3D Land scoring 8/10. Edge are renowned for their harsh but fair review scores, so an 8 for Super Mario 3D Land isn’t too bad. I was personally hoping for at least a 9 though.
8/10 sound good for me.
Cause we all know, how harsh the Edge is and
they have nor fear to use the whole review-scale.
It will be a great game at least, an that’s what matters.
No, you are not first.
I got to play Super Mario 3D Land this year at GAMEfest.
It wasn’t all that great. I mean it was fun, but not as fun as everyone is hyping it up to be.
You got to play the e3 demo from 6 months ago, the game has gone long way since then.
well i they gave ss a 10/10 so maybe its a good comparison
like make the 8 from edge means like a ten from everyone else
Boosts the LoZ review. :)
I think 8 is pretty good. I heard that they have only given something like 5 perfect scores so it’s not bad. Plus, it just shows how great skyward sword will be if it is that much better than SM3DL. And also, i don’t think this mario game will quite match up to super mario galaxy.
They’ve given 14.
But yeah, I hope this is what people consider a pretty generous score considering Edge’s notoriety for being harsh judges.
If the length of the game is too short, and if that caused the rating to go down, I’ll be slightly annoyed. Super Mario Galaxy was magnificent because you could play it for hours and hours, making steady progress, and there was always more to do. That is, until all 484 Stars were obtained between Galaxy 1 and 2.If I can beat this game in 1 day, and then do something else, I won’t be as enthusiastic about paying full price for this game at launch.
8 isn’t good enough!!! Gaaaaaaah mario kicks ass!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah well at least skyward sword got a perfect review
you sound so gay right now
How about you stfu my thoughts on the game aren’t independant you idiots (hink u can insult someone for standing up for the struggling nintendo company then you can fk off you piece of sh!t!
No, it’s because you put 30 more of the letter ‘a’ in your words than necessary. You’re actually making Nintendo look bad.
Guess we’ll have to wait for this generation’s new super mario bros =/
How can you rate a game that hasnt come out yet?
They are sent review copies.
they already have advance copies, alot of gaming site have it as of right now for the soul purpose of giving us a review before the games official released date.
I don’t see a review for SM3dL on their website, but SS is there…?
Yeah, they haven’t published the Super Mario 3D Land review online yet.
Ohh I see.
Now don’t stone me to death for saying this…but I think Skyward Sword just MIGHT have what it takes to be better than Ocarina of Time.
I think so too. It’s better to have a zelda that can be as good or better than OoT than a zelda that’s not as great.
Wind Waker was better than OoT O_o. Be honest. Only reason it gets hated on is because it wasn’t the Zelda that everyone was expecting. Doesn’t make it any less brilliant though.
Agreed! Potential is there. Keeping my fingers crossed. :)
8/10 is a good score. I’m satisfied with that for now, until I see the full review.
Anyone knows what were the negative points that brought the score down to 8?
CVG have posted a couple of quotes on their website, the main negatives were that the suits are a bit underwhelming and the tanooki suit is too over used throughout the game, still said it was great fun tho!
8 is a pretty damn good score from edge, a 9 or 10 would have been incredible but I’m more than happy with that; they gave New Super Mario Bros Wii a 7 and I loved that game :D likely it’ll get 9’s and 10’s from most of the other magazines.
We all know that SM3DL is just there to kill time untill MK7.
/\ THIS
From what I’ve seen, SM3DL doesn’t seem to be that long. Even Nintendo said that it has short levels because it’s a portable game. At the same time, you can go back and replay the game over and over just like the classic games without spending hours upon hours on it. That is nice for portable. As for the score, maybe this will refrain people from calling the SS score unfair or too high, as it’s the case in other places.
Guess Edge is one of the few american gaming magazines using the whole scoring spectra. Which basically means 7= good, 8= very good, 9= fantastic and 9= perfect.
In which case 8 is very nice :)
Oops, i meant 10= Perfect
Thank you for clearing that up! (sarcasm intended)
I was also hoping for a 9 too. 8 seems too low for this game since it plays beautifully.
what’s your score?
I was hoping for a 9 but 8 will do what did they give smg 1 and 2 does anybody know?
I know they gave Super Mario Galaxy 2 a perfect 10.
I’m surprised this hasn’t sparked an argument yet, it’s the kind of thing the ‘eight point eight’ page at TV Tropes is for. Oh well, I’ll see what the game is like when it’s released and judge whether its as good as past Mario games for myself, since Edge also criticised Mario Kart Wii and I loved that game.
Not surprised, actually. I don’t see much new material in this game; looks like Mario Galaxy’s platforming (sans awesome gravity) with tanooki tails on everything. Not that that’s inherently bad–I’m sure it will still be fun, it just doesn’t look like a game I’ll be picking up.
