I understand that some people disagree with the opinions expressed in this review, but discrediting the entire site because the opinions in one post contradict your own (and those of the majority of other reviewers) is just stupid. If you don’t agree with the review that’s fine, but it doesn’t make sense to judge the site (or even the author of this review) solely on a single article.

Hey, this is zizzy from MEGATONik.com.
This was not a publicity stunt. The author who posted it genuinely dislikes the game, and his opinion wasn’t going to be censored just because it went against the popular consensus. There was even a heated discussion in the forums as to whether he should post the review since not many would agree with him and it would just be seen as nothing more than a publicity stunt despite the fact it was his honest opinion.

Even before the review was posted, we had an average of over 1,000 visits a day (you can look at our sitemeter for proof), and had been on Digg, Joystiq, Kotaku, Destructoid, and many others multiple times, so the hits this review brought in weren’t even a huge deal. They didn’t bring in that much more than we would have gotten anyway, and if you read the comments and reactions, the amount of people who now hate the site and think it was just done for publicity will probably offset the small temporary spike in traffic.

And you call us out for what you thought was a publicity stunt, and then submit your post to Digg? Isn’t that incredibly hypocritical?

Once again a stupid question

Football games have been the smae for ages do they get good reviews

Answer: Yes

Zelda games have been the same thing forever do they get good reviews.

Answer: Yes

Do the FF series get good reviews even if the characters still are girlish looking.

Answer: …yes… sort of…

See my point. It’s a total publicity stunt and they just want their site to be in the spotlighrt.

Obviously, there are still some reviewers who can’t appreciate originality (then again, Fritz DID say it was astoundingly original), and would rather play a game with a dark storyline, super-realistic graphics and lots and lots of violent combat.

Luckily, I’ve never heard of these Megatonik people until today, so they must not be too popular with the general gaming crowd.

This review is such crap… barely any depth, and they blow things up like “it’s the best graphics on the wii, but it still sucks”
