As Gotchaye X said in a post on "Metroid Prime 3 Reviews" IGN took a half point off for graphics for no reason, after raging on about how great the game looked. Now Don Wii says that IGN says if you compare the graphics to those of the 360 or Ps3 you will notice the gaps in technology... SO!

I don't think the Wii should be compared to the 360 or PS3 when it comes to graphics. The best looking Wii game... that takes the Wii (graphically) were they didn't think it could go, should get a 10. If the art direction is on par with the big systems what is the problem?

What do you guys think?

To keep things even, the Wii needs to be compared to its contemporaries. After all, back in the day the Saturn was slammed for its poor 3D performance while the PS was slammed for its poor 2D performance, completely ignoring the strengths of each system. It's just the way things work.

The graphics for MP receiving a 9.5 was probably just IGN hedging their bets. Right now, it's pretty hard to give a Wii game a perfect score in graphics when you just finished playing Bioshock and are bombarded with screenies of Halo 3, Lair, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed, CoD4, and Mass Effect on a daily basis.

They could have also put the loading problems down as graphics related.  Apparently, some doors can take a very long time to load, and maybe this is a result of graphics.  If that's the case, it certainly deserves to be knocked down half a point.
