Firstly, the game looks good for a Wii game and that is what is important in this situation because who is going to by this on the Wii if they already have it on something else. It's natural curiosity to want to compare, so i will briefly, but in the end it's not that important. The Wii is not all of a sudden closer to the HD consoles in processing power, so set your minds at ease.
Firstly the usual, "but our version is HD", doesn't really apply very well here considering the difference in horizontal resolution is only 120 lines (just more than the difference between PAL and NTSC last gen). Even though some people are now trying to downplay COD4's graphics on the HD consoles, it was awarded very high ratings for graphics from most publications when it came out.
Given that the difference in resolution is less than with other games we should expect that there are going to be compromises elsewhere, which can be seen in texture resolution, lighting and shaders. Desite these factors it can't be argued that the game doesn't hold up well on the Wii.
Stating that it doesn't look as good is kind of pointless as that was a foregone conclusion. Whether the realistic and gritty gameplay experience (which is enable by the graphics) survives the inevitable graphical downgrade should be the only real concern.
