Forums - Nintendo - Wii Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is an abomination.

I didn't even know this game existed until now, and man it looks, plays and sounds terrible. WTF are EA thinking, seriously that's the worst looking game ever on the Wii. Lots of things going wrong. Terrible music, abominable graphics, horrific physics and car handling, hideous collision detection, weak and lazy presentation, very low production values, catastrophic sound effects.

Simply release a game with te same name as the HD counterparts on the same day and voila, you got yourself a possible couple of extra sales. It's not even the same game with downgraded assets, it's like a highschool project.

EA doesn't deserve a single sale.

I agree, that's what I thought when I first watched the video, I said to myself "wtf is this shit? It probably is the mobile version or something and the videos got mixed up" but reality is that this turd is the Wii version.

Would I go as far as saying that EA did it on purpose just for the lulz?

Lol, that could be it. Or perhaps to get yet another excuse to stop developing quality/known IP's for the Wii.

Either way it's just pathetic lol.

Okay, the driving looks very weak, but the graphics are merely mediocre, not horrible. Cruisn' is horrible. This is more like a Dreamcast game on the Wii. Still not good (and criminally looks worse than the iPhone version), but not godawful.



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

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

More proof that iPhone > Wii :P



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
