Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Official Nintendo magazine gives COD WAW a 92 percent

I dont believe in reviews but this is unexpected for a Wii game especially multiplat to give a 92. Anyway, when this review will add to metacritic?

Arguably the best WWII game ever. Simply put, if you like first-person shooters this is absolutely essential.

  Outstanding single-player mode
  Looks and sounds fantastic
  Online multiplayer works well
  Wii Zapper controls are great
  The occasional online lag

IE the Lag has been fixed so there goes the minus

Really good score I was expecting something like 80 percent.

I still dont get it why complain about lack of local multiplayer even MOH: H2 and The Conduit have none?

I second RolStoppable in this.

So far Red Steel is the only major selling FPS to have local multiplayer - that was 2 years ago. I just hope Red Steel 2 will have split screen as it's the only real advantage Console games have over the PC.

Its because of the graphics, even HVS admiitedly says that they cant have splirtscreen mode and it only runs in 30 fps because the graphics was too much for it. Though theres no excuse why MOH: H2 to have no splitcreen...

QoS has local multiplayer? Well, the game is a mess and a lot of core gamers aren't desperate and can wait longer instead of buying a halfassed game.

Timesplitter 2 and 3 had four player splitscreen and the option to add six bots. That was on the Gamecube.

Why does it seem impossible to achieve similar results on a more powerful hardware?

 

LOL no wonder it have 80,000 sales on the Wii so far. Just for proof:

http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=21877&region=All

Gamers played the games because its not a half-assed port or because they compared it to the other versions. They play it for the way it is. JUST A GAME.

As for the splitscreen, I think 3rd parties should make that in sacrifice for very good graphics and just make a game with GC graphics. I know many core Wii owners dont want that, for me I dont mind GC graphics was quite good but many core Wii owners will be angry anyweay...

Hmmm, we all know the Wii is just a Xbox anyways, and other than Halo, what did the Xbox offer in terms of split-screen multiplayer? o_O



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Not really, Wii is a GC 1.5 or GC 2.0. Xbox is only little gimped than the GC so what more if the GC is 2 times more power?
