I disagree with the review a lot; though I haven't played the game I feel like I have a good grasp of it by now and it looks like an extremely fun game that I'm going to enjoy, with plenty of fun and creativity and inspiration in the design (if I turn out to be wrong, I'll obviously amend that stance but for now that's how it is for me). They say it doesn't have "heart" but it looks like it has plenty to me; that was a similar argument to what I see some people say about Skyward Sword and I enjoy that game as well.
But that's about it. I disagree with it. Big whoop. It's a review written by someone else, so it doesn't need to be my opinion. It's that guy's opinion and he's free to post it up. I'm free to think he's wrong -- and I do -- but him posting his review online doesn't affect the game at all.

On most smartly arranged scales, 5 is the middle ranking. 5 is average. No more good than bad. Anything above 5 means the game has more good going for it than bad, while 4 and under mean the opposite. They gave A Link Between Worlds a good score, just barely. Also people had a huge collective bellyaching about GameSpot's Skyward Sword review, yeah, but that was super ridiculous as it will be if it happens here. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be. I feel like maybe Zelda fans have learned their lesson after this happened with the last game, or maybe a bad review for a handheld Zelda game just isn't seen as worth the rage one for a home-console game is. :xd:6.5 is not even average, that is well below, which is in contrast to the high scores all other major game reviewers are giving. People were upset when SS was given an 8/10 by Gamespot so I imagine this has the potential to cause some upset.
You probably shouldn't care even if they are doing it for that reason, considering that getting mad about it would just be doing what they want. Either way there's really no reason to assume that's their intent.As long as they're not doing it to provoke Zelda fans into complaining and getting more views, then whatever, I don't care.
