Transformers Dark or The Moon: Stealth Force Edition for the Wii. The PS360 version was pretty good and had decent visuals. The Wii port has a different story, poor scenary and, I swear, N64 visuals. But the insane was that the entire game is played in car form, you can't transform to robot form. Yes, it is a Transformers game were you can't transform. It was a totally lazy and crappy port and game.

i heard about it to be fair, its not really a port just a crappy spin off game.

Yes, it surely fits more like a spinoff. Actually, there isn't an easy way of porting a HD game to the Wii. You could port a X360 game to PS3 or port a PC game to X1 or port a GameCube game to PS2, but any HD port to Wii must be redone from scratch basically, since the Wii was the last console with a fixed function GPU while the HD twins use programmable ones. So it isn't simply laziness, devs had to remake the entire game.

you're preaching to the choir, buddy. Tell that to NintendoPie and some of the others who swore that 3rd parties were evil and they were lazy. They dont want to admit that the WIi just wasnt up to snuff in terms of getting 3rd party games that were ports of HD games.

Yes, people complain without looking for explanations. Wii got a lot of PS2 ports (and the opposite occurred too) simply because they use the same fixed function architecture.
