| averyblund said: One thing that always bothers me is when a non-cross platform game gets compared to HD games. Sorry but almost nobody who owns a console owns more than one, we are the exception. Is The Conduit a great game if it were HD? No. But the Wii has few FPSs and as such it should be compared to its competition. This is a game the Wii needs, its far from perfect, but it is a huge progression. To ignore and spite this step forward is just silly. At least HVS fucking tried, we needs to give them a break, support them, and let them learn. Until then I will be duking it out online. |
I absolutely think that comparing Wii's graphics to HD console graphics in a review is unecessary and irrelevant. The vast majority of Wii owners and probably all Wii owners that go online looking for game reviews are perfectly aware of the Wii graphical limitations when compared with the competition. It should, in technical regards, be compared with other games on the system.
On the other hand it may be appropriate to comment on gameplay when compared with games on other systems . The review shouldn't be based around such comparisons because as you say the vast majority do not have the option of playing games on other systems but i see nothing wrong with commenting on the game in the context of all comparable games available for the benefit of people that are multi-system owners.
