Looks like it's done really well, but a game like that would have me throwing my wiimote against the wall after a while, lol. I'm just not the right type of person for that kind of game, hehe. I'll be passing on that, but it's good to know that 3rd party devs are getting better at programming for the Wii.

Dude...I would not jump to that conclusion, this is just one game. Why would companies take their time to make games for the wii when they have lots of resources from their old PS2 games that they can take and throw together to make a new sh*tty game and sell it to make a profit? Thats the problem with the Wii, and its marketed towards kids and parents/old people.

One game isn't going to change the way Wii is treated by third party devs. There will be a few exceptions, but don't expect much greatness now that this has come out.

Calm down, everyone, I know crap is still gonna come out. But it seems like people have finally hit full swing with their development strategies so long as they work at it.

Headtracking was just an easter egg, not official. There is no Headtracking, and even if there was, you would have to create your own peripheral to implement it.

Not the way they were going to have implemented it. Unfortunately, they did take it out.

It's at 86 on Metacritic right now, with no reviews lower than an 80/100. I want to get this, Okami, and MK Wii, and I think this might actually be at the top of that list now! Can't wait to get it!

The perfect scores are really taking me by surprise. I expected a lot of ratings in the 8 range, with the majority being in the 7's. Seeing all these 10's and 5/5's has really got me interesting in this title.

And an AAA rating here on GS would be huge. You better believe I'd be all over SW if that happened.

Bravo, EA and Spielberg!

I'm very happy for anyone who wants/wanted to play this game, as he/she apparently will not be disappointed.

Woah, I was expecting scores around 7.5 - 8.5, and it's getting AAA+ reviews.

Sleeper hit 2008.

QFT. I have been looking forward to this game just to destroy stuff that takes like an hour to build up perfectly. Looks like dominoe's have got a new enemy. Just need a release date for Australia now.

Did IGN really give it a 8.1? That's kind of surprising...
