Probably, but why bother saying that stuff in the first place? I watch the show every day, and during the lead up they kept advertising it as, "controversial and brutally honest." I'd think they would have enough confidence in their work so that they wouldn't have to fluff it like that, at least without that 'honest' part.
Its fine that he doesn't like the game and all, but I don't like that he (in his Sessler's Soapbox segment) talks about how much work goes into video game reviews but then calls his the "honest" one. Is he implying that other reviewers are lying, or that they spend as much time with a product as he does but then throw out their opinion for something less controversial? That seems a little disrespectful.
And film reviewers (personal favorite) do more than just "sum up the plot, talk about high and low points, and say whether it was good or bad." They factor in cinematography, musical score, editing, choreography, blah, blah, blah. Shit, look how many categories the Oscars have. I don't know what half of them are.
I love on-rail shooters! I'm surprised so many people on this site hate them. And the Wii is perfect for them, it really maintains that arcade feel without having to waste money a GunCon or something that can only be used for one game.
