Most of the visuals look fine...except for the character models.

Their animations look stiff, they're low-polygon models...and as stated in that blurb above me, they disappear right when they die...kind of lame. The character models are what keep me from getting this game, essentially.

I realize gameplay > graphics, and the online play, on-rails segment, etc make this game great...but I've played way too many games like this, and I still don't have much of a reason to buy it. I will have fun renting it I'm sure, but I've too many other games to buy this year anyway.

The hate mail idea didn't pan out?  Aw, that's a shame.

lol yea i need to get on that. Not much wood to work off of here so I might just float there on a single plank since im not a very good swimmer.

As for my comment, no way in any shape or form did i mean it that way.

EDIT: what the heck just happenedlol, how did this topic branch to speed runs?

Well good about time third parties start getting a handle of the Wii, this along with Zack and Wiki are making me hopeful that third parties are finally on board

yeah if we get say half a dozen outstanding third party efforts by the end of 2007 with sales to reflect their success then it's a good start.

So... it's been said MP3 controls badly put other console controls to shame... and now MOH2 badly puts MP3 to shame?

Jeez, when's MOH2 release again? I'll have to actually get around to playing MP3 before then.

Also... I never got the "I want my bodies still dead lieing on the ground" thing.

It never seemed like a big deal to me. I mean if you have the time to spend looking at the bodies on the ground the game has worse problems then the body disapeering.

I think it's possible MOH2 controls are better than MP3, but honestly I don't see that much room for improvement. MP3 controls beautifully, so I have a hard time believing that this "beats the pants off" it.

Nooooo!  Rol ate the topic!
