So far I've found the camera to be quite infuriating and the graphics (though good in style) lack the polish that would have made the game that much better. For example, the characters you talk to in the game in cut scenes are static images yet they show the main character moving and talking. What's with that? And that load screen they use is ultra pathetic. Is that the best the art team could come up with? I'm also not liking the major aliasing. No More heroes also had a lot of aliasing but it didn't bother me as much. The black and white style makes the aliasing stand out that much more. So far my opinion of the first 10 minutes is that the game came out half baked. It could have been much better had it been refined for another 6 months and they should have hired more competant camera animators. Also, the lock on system is broken..... I have yet to see anything in the game that couldn't have been done with full color and texturing on the Wii so far. I have a feeling the black and white artwork was used to cut costs and not for performance reasons. |
How about for artistic reasons? Though the black & white scheme probably did cut some costs.
