Say what you want, but you can't deny that these games are more promising than what Ubisoft has released on the Wii in the past.

 

Brothers in Arms has only just been released.

 

Closing Comments
Wii-makes walk a thin line already, but when a game can't iron out even the most blatant bugs (three second freezes occurring constantly in general play?), it's obvious that it's more about making a few quick stacks of cash than putting any real effort into a package. It's a shame too, as so many of the concepts in the game sound great on paper, including Wii IR for squad management, and the ability therein to manipulate your squad, select suppressive fire, and conduct an AI unit in the same way a skilled player can tear it up in Pro Evolution Soccer, but it just doesn’t work. It falls short due to the PS2's source material, a lack of any sort of quality assurance during the port-over, and an obvious quick cash-in. We've gathered two main points from checking out Double Time on Wii. First off, Brothers in Arms -- if done right -- could be amazing on Nintendo's system. Secondly, when Ubisoft talked about Nintendo-like quality on Wii, it obviously wasn't in reference to this one.

IGN Ratings for Brothers in Arms: Double Time (Wii)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
3.5 Presentation
The games are virtually unchanged from their PS2 versions. The general presentation at that time was impressive, but after years of progression, it isn't much to see now. Frame issues hurt the port.
3.0 Graphics
Both titles looks pretty muddy in their port from PS2 to Wii, but more than anything else it's the sketchy frame-rate and constant freezes that kill it. Double Time is a mess.
7.0 Sound
There's some decent VO, and the in-game audio isn't bad. Unchanged from PS2, but not bad in its own right.
3.0 Gameplay
The pointer controls are a mess, the frame issues kill the fluidity, and the AI is at times barely passable, while at others broken and moronic. Painful.
1.0 Lasting Appeal
It's two games for the price of one, but even Ubisoft's own Far Cry (also an overall mess) is already a much stronger offering. Multiplayer was removed, and the game is broken in countless areas.
