Who is the guy who wrote that garbage?
The problem with people these days (including myself) is that we all get caught up in the hype and excitement when something new hits the shelves. (I'm as guilty as anyone else in this regard).
As with anything, it takes a few days before things settle down and you begin to take a more 'even-handed' look at a particular game.
I'm not knocking anyone's enthusiasm for Viewtiful Joe. It will probably be one of the best games to appear this year - however, just because someone had the foresight (and honesty) to address a few issues with the title hardly makes it a crime.
The BIG question with reviews these days, is being able to write with foresight. You may love Joe now, but how will you feel about the game in six months?
People (including myself) loved Mario Sunshine in the first few weeks when it was surrounded with hype, but who feels the same way about it now? I know my impressions of that title have changed over time and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
