The whole time I semi-followed this game, I got the impression there was absoultely nothing about it that looked better then the first RE on-rails thing. I think that was the problem.
It is kind of worrying for a RE game to be selling iffy on the Wii though, as that's been one of the strongest third party franchises.
It's sales really have been poor though, especially in Europe according to VGC. Can hardly expect it to sell when House of Dead costs less.
