You're really taking this game's existence as a personal offense. And all we have are screens and a teaser trailer. I'm not sure there's that much there to get this worked up about.

Thank you. My point exactly. You're all getting so hyped and worked up over a teaser trailer and a press release involving a tarantula and a scorpion vs. gila monsters and insects. It wasn't me who claimed this was of 360 and PS3 quality, or that it looked like it was using the Unreal 3 Engine, or that it was setting a new bar for Wii third party games, it was the topic maker. I'll give you guys another way to look at it. If this we're coinciding with some Pixar movie, you wouldn't have given it a second look. That's all this game really looks like is some Disney manufactured animal vs. animal vs. man movie which is what THQ builds it's mediocre lineup around. I'm calling it like I see it. PS3 is getting Metal Gear Solid 4, 360 is getting Ninja Gaiden 2, and Wii is getting Deadly Creatures. Wow!

So what if people do think this is PS360 quality? Why is this hurting you? The fact of the matter is that there's nothignsubstantial to judge off of anyway, you take good looking pictures and say it turns out great but that's no less valid than taking a list of licensed games the teamhas done and trying to "prove" the status or quality of the game that way either. Simply put it's their perogative, if the game turns out bad then people will forget about it (unless it reaches Lair's epicness) but if it turns out good, all the kicking and the bashing from the first 5 or 6 screens is going to look really bad and really pointless in the face of one of the few original efforts to come out on the Wii from a 3rd party.

I find it strange that quite a lot of Wii owners are jumping on almost every game that gets announced for their favored platform and they always seem to defend it with their lives (figure of speech). Graphics are also a factor that gets brought up quite a lot of times.

I don't get it. Are those people so insecure about their console of choice? Since when were graphics a factor for Wii owners in the age of HD-consoles and media?

Your logic is flawed. There is no doubt that this game's graphical achievements so far are beyond most, if not all of the 3rd party efforts from 2007. I find it strange that people are pretending like a Wii game actually looking good for a change is somehow this huge sin because the platform itself is not about the graphics. Are people so insecure about their HD console purchase that the second a Wii game gets praised in the graphics department, everyone must be upon it with a blunt object? No, this isn't threatening the best of the PS360 but I don't see why it's a crime to comment on or even be impressed by a good looking game like this when basically all we have to judge it on are looks from the 5 or 6 screens and trailer.
