the reason no one buys this is:
- 20 million Wii owners already own Mario Kart Wii
- The game is too "kiddy" for PS360 owners |
Well as I said in my post. If you "Have" Mario Kart wii you should get this game. It is basically Mario Kart 2 without the blue shell and better graphics
|
Better looking? From my understanding...
Mario Kart = solid 60 fps with heavy rim lighting/bloom/etc
Sonic Racing = occasional 30 fps with few effects
... Sumo certainly makes pleasing looking Wii games, but EAD makes the BEST looking Wii games.

Yes, it is a better looking game. I have played them both, and S&SASR looks better IMO. You can have yours, and I will have mine.
You know what the funny thing is, it is compared to MKW by every reviewer. Yet it probably isn't going to hit the million mark in sales, while many reviewers say it is as good a MKW.
Don't bash a game you probably haven't played yet. Youtube video's do this game no justice!

I'm just arguing the technical merits here. Mario Kart is just more impressive when you really start to factor everything in (framerate, lighting, etc). And honestly, framerate is the MOST important visual aspect in a racer imo.
I did play the 360 demo, but the framerate was so bad it was borderline unplayable imo. I'll probably pick up the Wii version eventually, as it's framerate is actually supposed to be better and I think it'll have a more numerous online community (thanks to the millions of Mario Karters on Wii).

You have very high framerate standards. the frame rate goes up and down on the 360 version but I doubt it ever goes below 30. There are really smooth sections and sections which are adequate. It never chugs...
|
It ceilings at 30, and drops down to 20 even it seems like. Really, it's awful, at least in the demo... maybe the retail product ironed it out? Have you HDD installed or are you running off disc? That can matter too I've found with 360 games...
I can handle 30 fps racers, but they have to be consistent. Racers, fighters and fps are really the 3 genres that framerate counts most imo.
