TC was an excellent technical game that easily stands shoulders with HD games(effects wise only, Wii lesser memory puts texture limitations that are significant difference). From a technical perspective not a power perspective. TC is still pretty much the best technicly designed game on the Wii. Technicly designed games don't necessarily means a good game though. It also pretty much shamed other developers efforts who lacklusters many attempts. It's thanks to the TC that Reflex controls are "better"(I haven't played it yet). If TC was never released Reflex developers probably wouldn't have put so much effort into it's design.
So the hype was well deserved. If not for being a triple A(I HATED the level design), but instead for getting designers to put more effort. Let's hope Monster Hunter Tri, FFCC, ToGrace? Metroid get the Japanese developers into gear.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
