Imagine after Pitfall and before Mario. It had really good graphics for the time and as you know graphics are all that I care about. BC was a caveman.

I still cant picture it LOL, what I knew of games on early 80's are stick figures and blocks so I cant think of what graphics of that could be

Coleco - a toy company put out a videogame system - Colecovision which competed against the Atari 2600/5200, Intellivision, Vetrex, Bally Astrocade, Spectrum and others (who says the industry can only support 3 players?). Colecovision was the best at the time though.

BC was a Sunday comicstrip about caveman with the primary character being named B.C. (I think). The game was based on the comicstrip and gamebase was basically ripped from a arcade game where you had a moonbuggy going along the surface of the moon and you had to jump rocks and holes and avoid stuff. So in Quest for Tires BC rode his uniwheel to get from place to place avoiding stuff.

It was my favorite game although I'd be afraid to ever play it again least it reveal my childhood favorite was really a piece of crapware.

It looks like a hand drawn cartoon so it looked pretty good for the time.

there is only one good james bond game, which is a much sadder scenario.

I still dont get it why there are people take reviews as a gospel? I mean not all of the reviews are based on facts because most of them are opinions anyway.

@yushire - Yeah some people put too much faith in reviews. Some imperfect games are extremely fun. I find if you read the reviews (usually 2-3) for a game, reviewers will usually said 'the game is fun, I really liked' etc but score it low for technical failings. Also I look at user reviews too when in doubt.

I'm definately getting NHL 09 for Wii cause by all accounts the controls work great and it's fun to play. However reviews are lousy and I refuse to pay full price when they aren't giving me a full package. The graphics are sub-par (even by Wii standards) and it lacks some features that it shouldn't really. But for $30 it'll be mine all mine!!

For Wii though look at all the poorly reviewed games that sell 1m+. Carnival Games and Game Party especially. Not very good and horrible reviews but obviously people are enjoying them enough to recommend to their friends. So you can't really say Wii owners pay too much attention to review scores.

Atleast make the reviews more honest, but I guess even reviewers dont do this either because its on the Wii. Theyre making flaws on any game because its on the Wii...

Here is my quick review:

I have been playing the game since it came out. Here are my first impressions:

The Bad

1. Controls are not as responsive as MOH:H2.
2. Singleplayer is extremely passable.
3. Aliasing is very jarring (didnt see half as much aliasing in Online Multiplayer.
4. Graphics are pretty subpar.
5. Online Multiplayer doesnt run at 60 FPS
6. Lack of indicators for a grenade active in your hand and grenades thrown next to you.

The Good

1. Online Multiplayer is fun, not super fun.
2. Lots of really great ideas with potential (cover system similar to Gears of War, Melee attacks are Tenchu style stealth kills and easier to execute than MOH:H2.
3. Able to jump and traverse obstacles.
4. Some pretty good Online Multiplayer maps (Facility 2.0, Venice)
5. Online Multiplayer (max of 4 players) is more strategic versus fast Twitch FPS ala MOH:H2

After I played the single player I was really disappointed. I was definitely ready to trade it for COD 5 when it comes out. But after playing Online Multiplayer I just might keep it. Simply for the different experience that it offers over an FPS like MOH:H2. Its more strategic, slower paced, melee executions and much more intimate in general. It does kinda feel like Goldeneye. Just more glitchy (polygons popping in and out, shadows visible thru walls)

I cant recommend this game overwhelmingly. Like I said I might keep it only because of the Online Multiplayer. If you plan on purchasing it dont expect MOH:H2.

Some do but I think for most it's more a matter of developers are putting their secondary teams on Wii development and the product is below what it should be.  IE: If they had made that same game for PS2 last generation it would have been better than this Wii version this gen.   In that respect they are right to score them low. 

Look at de Blob, it got great reviews because they developer made a polished product.   QoS isn't.
