Okay, I thought for a minute you were one of those "either real-time shadows, or the whole game is crap" people.

I know dahuman is big on Monster Hunter 3, a game that, despite some very nice graphics and effects, casts nothing of circle shadows. I doubt most people really give a damn about somthing like that when all is said and done. 

I hate circle shadows actually lol but if there are at least some shadow work going I'm cool, like the shadows on the characters themselves, I like that, but to be honest I know the CoD4 engine on Wii can easily do shadows so I think it'll happen in the polishing stages they're at now, its kinda like they put so much effort into motion capturing, making sure the characters looked nice and such... why skimp on the shadows the characters cast? 

Cast shadows really do make the gameplay

How? Does it somehow make the controls responsive or the level designs better?

Sometimes you can see a shadow when playing against someone when the guy is hiding, so that is a factor when you look at it that way :P

This looks nice.

But that's an extra to the gameplay, not making it.

LordtheNightKnight: Perhaps the original poster was being sarcastic?

EDIT: whoa, weird stuff happened to my post.

I honestly think that Nintendo needs to release an HD console, with better processing power, but that just a wishful thought of my part.

Other than that, It looks good for a FPS Wii game.
