    Probably because it looks like it's an N64 game, instead of a Wii one. The amount of graphically poor games on the Wii is a joke at this stage. With Resident Evil 4 we saw what the GameCube was capable of; and the Wii is much more powerful.

    Not to mention SM Galaxy Cyclone.

    Really, it can do better. Can still be fun game though, it's just that it feels like "well it's underpower so we won't even bother".

    As Cyclone says - I think that is the shocking thing for most - we could see the gamecube was capable of pushing out some quality graphics when required, and the Wii is more powerful, yet a lot of the games look quite awful. I think it will just take time, but we are waiting for a team to really give it that push! ;)

    Whereas i agree it looks shit in screenshots. Lets give it a chance - it's obviously a style they've chosen on purpose (look at the character in the last shot) - so they've chosen a stylised cartoony look with no shading and limited texture work.

    .. They MIGHT (big might) have a good reason for this - maybe there is a lot going on on screen, etc. Maybe when you see it all moving it's great?

    Take something like viewtiful joe - doesnt look as good in a screenshot as it does moving.


    .. But erm.. maybe i'm just making excuses. Correct me if i'm wrong - but isnt this codemaster's first nintendo game since micro machines? Maybe that's part of the reason?

    Or maybe they took an old game they had on the back burner and decided to resurect it.


    Either way - colour me unexcited at the moment.

    I wonder the same every time i see yet another generic carbon-copy fps game selling well tbh.

    As much as i agree this looks shit - I am much more in support of companies TRYING different styles of games - as opposed to just yet more fps shite.
