    Simplified shading is okay, but the complete lack of shadows is unnerving, especially next to the specular highlights.

    This looks kinda bad but then again if it's an arcadey racer and it's fun, you can overlook the superficiality. Still they could make it look a bit better than this.

    Disgusting. And... "In another time zone!"

    Besides, Blizzard is only interested in making Warcraft/Starcraft/Diablo sequels.

    No Rock N' Roll Racing, no Lost Vikings, no fuckin' Blackthorne...

    I don't get it.
    Last gen when games would commonly see simultaneous releases on all 3 system; PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube, they all usually matched in graphics. Yeah, they always looked a little bit different from each other but they were all still the same game and had similar graphics to appreciate.
    Now, I know the Wii obviously isn't as graphically capable as the Xbox 360 and PS3.
    But this is bullshit. The graphics on this game look terrible. And almost all the Wii games I'm seeing now have even crappier graphics when compared with Nintendo LAST GEN console, the Gamecube. Why are they doing this? SSBB has proven that the Wii can produce somewhat decent looking games on the console. But all I'm seeing now is shit.

    @jShazBot:
    Yes, but the difference is now Wii developers have learned that since it prints money they don't actually have to put as much effort into a game as before. Need I remind you of launch games like Rogue Leader for Gamecube, which is still better looking than 95% of the stuff done on Wii almost 8 years later.

    @AndrosZ: The Wii prints money for the games that sell.
    Mostly Nintendo's games and casual-friendly games.
    The reason they look crap is because developers DON'T want to spend money, because there's a good chance it will be overlooked amongst the tons of similar games.

    But take a look at Nintendo's games. They look good, hence it's an easier decision to make for a consumer that actually knows a thing or two about games.

    @Xucuroz: That's the dumbest thing ever about these games and I will not buy another one until the feature is back in. Lego Star Wars had it, the engine is obviously more than capable, TT games simply got lazy. They're churning out these lego games like a baby shits, why slow down to polish the online coop.

    I thought it was unanimously decided that "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was not to be filed under the category of "actual-for-real Indiana Jones movie."

    Why are they ignoring this important verdict?
