Link?

A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Based on the title of the thread I actually thought this had something to do with the band Blur.

Anyhow, Blur is looking like a huge bomb. Combined sales were even lower than the PGR games. I am glad about this as well. They blamed MS for the PGR games not performing better and they are doing even worse with their multiplat racer.

Actually, Activision should make a game like that on WiiWare.

Maybe they could instead of mocking Mario Kart, make a game that ribs on MK clones.

Even in a worst case scenario it should sell better than Blur.

Understandable.

I'm just hoping Activision don't somehow screw it up somehow.

Well if its a Wii exclusive then I'm not expecting a high quality game. Wii exclusives usually don't scream big budget.

That's also because development costs often (and I mean "often", not "always") get out of control with HD games. It's not really "big budget" as much as "throw lots of money at the game".

Well sometimes too much money is thrown into crappy HD games. And too often we see low quality and low budget games on the Wii.

Ultimately, I generally have low expectations for a 3rd party Wii exclusive.
