WHILE graphics are not that important for a game, the game play is the most important.
the overall package is a blending of all elements . gameplay graphics and sound
if one of the three doesn't blend well, people complain.
for most FPS's for the wii
the gameplay has been excellent, the sound has been good, the graphics have been poor even by last gen standards.
no wii game should look worse than the best of last gen's games of a similar genre- unless delibrat3ly going for a retro look (see megaman )
to date only a handful of games- 3rd party- have looked as good as or better than the best ps2 games
The Conduit and COD:WaW seem to be upping the bar on the graphics dept. and The Conduit seems to be upping the bar in gameplay/control dept..
