I can accept that the Wii version doesn't have online options, but in return I want them to take down the price of the game, they can't expect to charge 50 dollars for an incomplete game (because they are giving the option to the HD consoles).

The lack of online will hurt them, specially because that its one of the reasons to become an early adopter (since you will find more people to play online), now everybody can just wait till the price comes down to a more reasonable one (40?, 30?, 20?).

Okay, you want online, but that does not make a valid reason to call the game incomplete. If a remake of a game with online didn't have it, that would be incomplete. And even the HD versions having it does not make this incomplete. It just makes them remakes with varying features.

Oh, and online for early adopters really doesn't apply to the Wii, as even online Wii games are not front loaded.

LTNK, logically what you say is correct. But logically people who looked forward to Extraction before it was announced to be on-rails should have seen beyond its being on-rails (and beyond its horrible cover) and bought it, especially given the favorable reviews. Surprise surprise that didn't happen, and I bet it won't happen here either. (and I also bet EA will blame the Wii/Wii audience - again).

Extraction doesn't properly apply, since it took away something from the source (free movement), not simply didn't add something. Otherwise, I agree with the anticipation. My thing is that we won't know if onine is preferred just because people online are upset. If the marketing is good, but the online lack still drives off most gamers, then we will know, not because people on the internted declared it would flop. The internet is only slightly more reliable a predictor than Pachter.
