Forums - Nintendo - What kind of review is this?!?!

@ Rol Stoppable

Obviously I do. Just because I'm not sipping the juice saying "SMG is the best thing since sliced bread" doesn't mean I don't know what I am talking about. Many last gen games looked better than that. God of War 2, Final Fantasy XII, Resident Evil 4, Halo 2... just to name a few

I'm sure that R&C is not playing in 480p or 16:9 so that is not a fair comparison. I wouldn't say SMG looks like a 2001 game. A fair judge is RE4 for the GC which does look better than SMG. that was 2005. So I'd go with that year.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

I agree with Rol.  Please refer to this thread for more information. I would really like you to understand what is said there... but judging by your avatar I don't expect you to do it. I would really like that someone breaks the "I'm a PS fan so all Nintendo phails" mold.

And on the review mentioned above, it's epic fail and n00bness.



Well, obviously this reviewer is a graphics whore and the wii controls just don't suit him. That's fine, he basically admits to that and there will always be a crowd that'll choose PS3 graphic realism over Wii fun. That's a decision Nintendo made and reviews like this will always be one consequence from that. This will only get worse as developers squeeze the living daylights out of 360/PS3 tech for graphics and not really bother to on Wii as it'll never compare graphically anyway. Or at least that's the common mentality.

As for the RE:4 / SMG comparison, I respectfully disagree. RE:4 is more realistic, but that's style, lighting and effects are much better in SMG than re:4 although obviously SMG graphically is simplier in presentation.

No your quite clearly sipping the 'SMG sucks' juice. You have no idea what your talking about, your making up shit to try and back up your points even though you are quite clearly wrong. You are comparing graphics in games which are made to be realistic to a game which isnt for one thing, try comparing two games made in a cartoony style, say the last R&C made on PS2 instead?

SO Since I like FFVII therefore I am a sony fan? Forget that I have a 360 and don't own a PS3, I am a sony fan. I'm not saying SMG doens't look good. I would definetly say that SMG's art style is better than that of any game (okami excluded) but graphically, I wouldn't put it above those games I mentioned.



@DMeisterJ

Ummm...not to sound like an idiot but...what's the difference? Wouldn't that just mean you PREFER God of War 2's style, Resident Evil 4'S style, and Halo 2's style over SMG's style, not because it is necessarily better than SMG but because YOU like it better?

 Man whats up with all of this lol, sooooo many opinions being tossed around here, did you ever think that maybe DJ's opinion on what makes a game look good graphically might be tied to realism perhaps? If so, I'll agree with him for sure that all of those games listed above look better than SMG. If your refering to grahpics as artistic style, well then thats purely opinionated. You happen to like SMG's art style, I don't. Your not wrong for liking it, nor am I wrong for dissagreeing. If the original blogger's views are the same then I'm going to agree with him, I hate people slurring around artistic style as "graphics," it can look better and still have worse graphics guys -_-; it's all about your personal tastes.

The blogger was quite clearly talking on a technical level (otherwise making comparisons using a date are useless) and SMG graphics are unrivalled on a technical level by anything from 2001. Thus the blogger was wrong. 



Another nice quote:

"But perhaps this is an issue that plagues the Wii more than this game itself. Is it possible that Wii-mote interaction is difficult and it only really works on mini-games and sports titles? Now that I've played Super Mario Galaxy, I certainly believe so."

I wonder if he has played Metroid Prime 3?
