| famousringo said: I'll bet this game is actually really fun, and the graphics are obviously severely impaired by the commitment to high frame rates even in the face of massive splitscreen, but this game is going to bomb based on looking superficially awful. And the point stands that there's nothing 'huge' or 'mature' about this title. |
That's kinda hard to square with Maclean's comment:
"Wheelspin was designed exclusively for the Wii - with the intention of pushing the hardware further than any other Wii racing game to date," beamed MacLean himself.
"You have to see the graphics moving to believe its coming out of a Wii - the visuals rush past smoothly at 60 FPS all in widescreen 480P mode. We are very pleased to be working with Bethesda, many of whom have been involved with my previous titles going back 20 years."
You'd have to give a pretty generous reading to his comments to make the argument that he wasn't grossly over-promising on the visual end of things and, thus, setting up gamers to be horrifically disappointed with what they received. (And my understanding, from a few people that have played it, is it's pretty lousy and hard to control.)
