For decades the good sports games come with a full seasons worth of content mirroring the sport it is based on, many different options for playing the game, leaderboards and online. Wii sports is just the equivilant of an exibition match which is all you get from the tiny demo versions of real games. Warhawk didn't score any higher because it had no single player game, with a single player game it would have scored 85-50% instead of the 80% it did. Poor graphics wether you like it or not make the game worse. Does a film shot with a bad camera or a film watched on a bad screen make the acting or the script any worse? No it doesn't, but overall bad camera work or watching a film on a bad screen still makes the overall experence worse just like having bad graphics does. Most of wii sports games are broken and can be exploited. For example wii tennis, when you serve you can perform a super serve by flicking your wrist quickly instead of performing a real serve like you would in real life. The super serve beats the a.i. 80-90% of the time and against humans they miss most of the time and if they do return it, it will only come back as a miss hit shot and then with your follow up you just smash it past them. In wii bowling just press the d pad once to the right if your right handed or once to the left if your left handed then swing straight and as hard as you can and you'll get a strike most of the time and the rest of the time you'll get a spare. In wii boxing all you have to do is flail around like a mad man and you'll win. Also you can't use your created mii's in wii boxing. Mario party is a stale series. You can't compare it to an fps saying all fps's are stale because fps's have different stories, are set in varied locations and time periods, feature different weapons, different special abilites, fps's are generally technically impressive and they mostly have a decent online compontent that keeps them fresh. Apart from mario party being stale the whole game is made pointless by the random taking away and awarding of stars which makes the game broken. 3). When the other versions of tiger woods have better graphics and online then why should the wii version score the same? A different take on the controls which are fun but fiddly and also have a few gltiches doesn't make up the difference. 4). Even without the pc the combined sales of the 360 and ps3 are higher than the wii. The wii might be able to out sell the 360 and ps3 combined but it's a fact that wii owners buy the least amount of third party games so third parties still won't stop puting most of their aaa games on the360/ps3/pc combo. Galaxy isn't a dumbed down game, wii play is, given the choice to work on the new bioshock or the new wii play what do you think developers will choose. |
That first sentence made me laugh quite a bit because I can't remember a single time you proved me wrong. However:
1) HappySquirrel made good points about this. The thing Wii Sports lacks are not needed for the people that like it. Also, even if sports games used to mirror the real sport, there's no reason for Wii Sports to do so too. You can't compare the visuals of a film to the graphics of a game. Wii Sport's graphic is good enough for the gameplay, it 's not ugly and nothing. There's no reason for it to be better.
I have no problem to take down a fast serve in tennis, and I can perform it with a regular service so I don't see why this is broken. Bowling is like real life bowling: If you know the trick, you can get Strikes. It may be a bit easier to do it in Wii Sports, but you still need skill to do it. Boxing can be very deep if you do it right, and you CAN use your Mii's.
Well, Mario Party has new Minigames in every part, and I think this is even better than a new story or a new environment. As I said, I haven't played 8, but no game until 6 has random awarding and taking away of stars, so I can't really imagine 8 does all those things worse.
You haven't even mentioned the other games, so I assume you accept my points there.
3) You can't compare graphics in scores between consoles. A game on the Wii that takes the max out of its capabilities should score higher in graphics than a mediocre game on the 360 even if the 360 game is still prettier. I made my point about online before.
4) Have you seen the thread with total third party sales? The sales on the Wii are almost as high as on the 360 and much higher than on the PS3. The old "Nintendo consoles sell less third party games" is a myth and easily explainable if you think that the last two Nintendo consoles also had the least good third party games. Why do third parties have to make Wii Play like games and not Mario Galaxy like games? That makes no sense to me. They can also do high profile games on the Wii and that should give them just as much joy as making high profile games on the other consoles.
