Grampy: I don't care who wins. Hell, I've got a 360 and a Wii. I just happen to think that there are better games for me on the Wii than on the 360. Don't get me wrong, I like Rainbow Six Vegas, and I like Gears, I like Forza, I like Hitman, and I even sort of like Condemned 2.
As far as GTA 4 vs Mario Kart goes, Mario Kart is a lot better. Take, for example, the extremely redundant GTA 4 shooting missions: you walk through a warehouse, or out of a bank, or through an old hospital. But the enemies always act the same: the vast majority of them stand in one spot, waiting to eventually be shot. The only wild card is that the targeting system is inconsistent and unpredictable. And the only challenge is that the cover system is the worst I've played with.
It just feels like a second rate experience. Maybe I've played too many good shooting games to spend time playing a crappy one.
By my count, there have been 2 great releases for the Wii so far (Brawl and Mario Kart). Mario Kart, in particular, has awesome online gaming. And by my count, there has been 1 good, but not great, release for my 360 this year. GTA4's online is good, but it's not as awesome as Mario Kart's where you can play game after game after game with little to no setup and good, fun competition every time.
Well they sure as hell aren't on Xbox Live, am i rite?
