Goldeneye for sure. Call of duty is not an experience meant to be on wii....I don't know conduit 2 but I tried the 1st and it sucked to me...


Que?  How is an FPS that has the same content and better controls not meant to be on Wii


Because the COD is developed on HD consoles in the first place, so the content of the game is designed to take advantege of the HD consoles capabilities, a port to wii will even have better controls (I belive that) but any other aspect of the game will be made to be as much similar as the HD version, the easiest example, cod  in single player relies much on the "cinematic" feel it gives, this can't obviously work as well as on wii. While in a game designed for the wii from the ground-up like Goldneye, game and level design are polished keeping on mind the wii capabilities, the resulty will be more probably better.


Well games were cinematic before even 3D came along so it really isn't about the graphics but the work you put into your title.  Not sure if you've played Call of Duty 4 on Wii, it's the exact same game, with the same intense single player of the original, hell I own it on 360, PC and Wii cause I love that game so much.  I get the same thrill playing the Wii version cause it's a good story and made well, which goes back to my original point, graphic intensity doesn't mean anything if you're willing to put in the work.

Perfect example is this, The Conduit has a better engine that allows them to do effects you don't typically see in Wii titles, but that story just wasn't put together as well as Call of Duty 4, the levels while built from the ground up for Wii lacked imagination and style, while CoD4 had big scale, it was fun, and when you're into the action you don't think about little nitpicking things, it was just designed very well.  Then Call of Duty 4 had all the maps, all the modes, an online experience that was hacker free, etc and it turned out to be a better game in every way, the graphics were pleasing cause they had style, the controls were just as customizable, it had better online, and the gameplay was just as solid as it was on 360 or PC.


You have a point, no I haven't played it, I had played COD3 on wii...and that was bad really. since I've heard not very reactions from friends about reflex I haven't bothered to try it myself, I've just seen some videos.... Yes the work you put in title is what count the most but Istill think that on equal "work-quality" you can make better games starting form the ground-up than porting titles from much-different platforms, maybe I just don't see the cod series much fitting with the wii "philosophy" of simple and fun....or I just find difficult to belive that the wii can give you the same illusion of realism as on PC, but if you say that the experience is a solid on PC I belive it.

PS.If somehow this comments gives you the idea to be wii-biased it's wrong, it's just a particular feeling I have with this game, wii is my favourite console of this generation.
