So far this is the third Last gen port of a popular franchise by Ubisoft. The first two; Farcry Vengeance and Splinter Cell we're attrocious, ugly and unplayable messes. I really hope they've learned their lesson for this one, and the videos don't look too bad, but I'm not going to get my hopes up over this one.
Ubisoft is either being very clever or remarkably dumb ...
As everyone knows the best way to make money in videogames is to create great games and to meet the potential of the system ... Now, the Wii allows for a massive increase in the quantity and quality of interactions with the game; in many ways motion based controlls offer unlimited inputs and can generate very immersive ways of interacting with the game.
If Ubisoft is porting games in order to try out as many input methods as they can and recieve as much feedback as possible I think they're being very smart; after you have a good base FPS control structure building off of that should be much easier.
On the other hand if Ubisoft is quickly porting games thinking that gamers want the exact same number and type of inputs in a Wii game that we could have in a Gamecube game they're being very dumb ...
