Gamespot give Zelda:TP am 8.8
This Gamepsot review has caused quite a bit of outrage.

Im a bit suprised since its considerably lower than every other gaming site:

Well like someone said, reviews are nothing more than previews with personal opinions inserted.
I think what lots of people find strange is that jeff the reviewer is noted for being a bit anti-Nintendo as of late. Therefore giving him Nintendo's biggest launch game to review is a little puzzling.
Personally i am yet to play either game, though i would love to. I will be picking up Zelda when the Wii launches here in 2 weeks.

I consider 8.8 a pretty high score, and i'm a zelda fanboy myself. I've read the article, they gave their opinions on why it's not that super great (not much new, wii controller could've been used better). In my opinion, scores like 97% (nearly perfect!) are unrealistic for any game, anything above 95 is only for the truely great like Ocarina of Time.
I wouldn't even give morrowind 97%, and you know how much of a morrowind fanboy i am.
Also, it's maybe a bit early to judge a game that quick. It's easy to get swept away by stunning new stuff, but you gotta get a bit deeper into it to know what its really like. It's like how Oblivion was really great on the surface, but not as great after 50 hours of gameplay.
I haven't played the game yet (it's not out in Europe), it probably is really great.

Very unlikely, but entirely possible. Not everyone sees everything in the same way, and maybe they genuinely see this as the least inspiring Zelda game ever?
That's the benefit of reading a mixed collection of reviews.
I also fail to see what you have against GoW, and why you are comparing a game released when people have become comfortable with the technology with a launch title. As with any system, the first set of games are typically inferior to ones released later on. What makes GoW so rubbish in your eyes that the Zelda game should be above it?
