The metacritic score is not equivalent to how awesome this game is. Don't let reviews be your only judge of whether a game is good or not. Really only you know what you like. I think if you're a fan of non-cutthroat competition and just having a good time, try this game with friends sitting on your couch like it was meant to be and you won't be disappointed! But don't take my word for it... ♪˜
