I can't believe that graphically they are identical. Is this the sort of treatment that Wii owners are going to have to contend with for the foreseeable future. Basically adding Wiiremote functionality and repacking it for the Wii and selling it as a new game. You could see if they enhanced it graphically, to see what the Wii could do with the same game.

This doesn't bode well for 3rd party games on the Wii at all. I'm surprised 3rd party companies are doing this, especially seeing as the Wii is outselling both the 360 and PS3 by bucket loads.

Nice one. Is this just blatant trolling, or what?

The Wii version has, from the very start, been known to use EXACTLY the same graphics/assets as the GC version. No graphics have been updated, nor was anyone expecting the graphics to be updated.

The additions of true 16:9 (more rendering on screen at anytime), plus proper 480p (higher resolution) are more than enough improvement, in terms of graphic fidelity. The game looked awesome to start with (a GC game that looks better than many 360/PS3 titles ever did).

Throw in Wii-mote control, much better aiming, new 'context' events/controls, additional content (from both the PS2/PC versions, plus more) and a budget price tag - and they are definitely on a winner. I'll almost certainly get this, even though I have the GC version (and finished it).
