Forums - Nintendo - Hands on impressions of CoD MWR [requested]

This game looks great, sounds like it plays great, and even the comparison video with the PS3 and Wii look really good. Solid controls and fast multiplayer. I can only tell you guys one thing. I am buying this game.



Albion - Its Fun as Ballz !!!!!

Thanks for the review. Likely picking this one up this weekend. I've been addicted to CODWaW, time to step it up a notch. Hopefully they did more to stop the hack/exploits. Cant stand playing with hackers in WaW

Pirates that tried to use Ocarina (the Wii hacking/cheat tool) prior to the games release got banned from the servers so yeah, they're trying to address it.

Your impressions seem to be a bit contrary to IGN's review.

I'll go with this, but I guess we'll have to wait for the official review.

The bolded is questionable, as already discussed, Bozon got some facts wrong that were corrected by a treyarch developer, then his opinion part of the review has been trounced by popular opinion and while I would agree that he can have his opinion I also have my own, and its simply the best FPS on Wii.  The Conduit can't be directly compared due to different gameplay styles, but for gamers like me this is a real step up.

Oh? You saying Treyarch called him out on some things after he published the review? I never intended to buy the game, but fair is fair.

Yeah on NeoGAF one Treyarch developer with an account corrected some of his claims that were flat out wrong.  One being the aiming, the guy said MWR uses the exact same engine for aiming on screen as W@W just now there're more options.  Then Bozon claimed the game had a small team and budget to get it out the door, the Treyarch guy came in and said this game had a bigger budget than W@W Wii, and for me personally it shows.

This is a comparison video of the PS3 and Wii versions, we all know which looks better but its now easier to tell side by side what the differences are, and honestly it's not too far off.

Hey, that's a great comparison video!  Thanks for posting it.  When I get the money I will definitely be buying this, even though I own the PS3 version that's shown in the video :).



@Maxwell

That's good to know man. Thanks for the feedback.

No problem man.  I know you said you have no interest in it, but if you get the chance to play it at a friends house or w/e I wouldn't turn it down., its fun, and has some impressive moments.

This is it. This is the kind of decent FPS that I've wanted on Wii from day one. I will definately buy this some time just to check out how a good CoD plays with IR.



I LOVE ICELAND!

There is a learning curve with the IR, basically anyone that first starts playing first person games on Wii like Metroid, there's a learning curve since you gotta learn to position your hand in the center and keep it steady.
