It Looks Great! Day one for sure!

No, it doesn't. I've played PS2 FPS, from the Half-Life port (which is noted to have even better graphics than the original game) to Black. It doesn't look like one.

It's a dark environment, so the shadows of the characters are just hard to make out.

I'm talking about cast shadows, the ones on the ground, not even the characters have them, they are just dark blobs under the moving objects.

Okay, but real time shadows are not that easy. Sure the HD systems mostly have them, but with the Wii, it really would be a drain on the specs. So not every game can have them.

the CoD engine blows on Wii is more like it.....

It looks really good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

No, it's already looking better than Modern Warfare Reflex. Just because an effect or two isn't in there yet is not a reason to dismiss the whole thing.

It must be killing Activision not to release this game as a multi-plat.  Wouldn't surprise me if a strangely similar game called "Olden Guy 700" was released for the PS3/360.

--It's been so long since I've played an FPS on the Wii that I've forgotten how good the controls were.  This game looks pretty damned good but more importantly, it looks like it plays good (or is that "plays well"?)!  I may end up buying this.......

I was impressed, I must say.

I am buying this and Black Ops for my casual machine.

The world can pop off.
