[QUOTE="Haziqonfire"]Yeah, i just saw it -- i kept hearing about it because i was at school, i was unable to watch it. -- i was also over on the IGN boards (surprisingly our school had it unblocked) and a lot of people were complaining about it, relating it to Ubisoft's Ubidays thing.
I honestly dont see how people are hating this game. I think this is a great concept/idea for a Wii game. If you want RE5, SF4, Dark Void, Bionic Commando, go get a 360 or PS3 along side your Wii

Thing is, this franchise is supposed to be turned into a TV show too, so if it's only being done to promote the show, that will certainly be trash.
Gameplay is from a pulled-back third-person perspective, and involves smashing up enemies and solving puzzles co-operatively using a mixture of analogue stick and button attacks and Wiimote gestures. Environments in the sewer section we saw were basic but stylised, with comedy enemies like flying crocodiles with rocket launchers and poo-covered teddy bears.
To give the game a cartoon feel, the campaign will be split into "episodes" and each will actually have advertising breaks - playable joke mini-games with gesture controls, like a rhythm-action banjo session promoting a plumbing firm called 2FISTED, and a frenzied boxing game for Nukem Now Robots.
Although ostensibly for two players, with basic puzzle design derived from this, the game will also work as a single-player experience with the AI controlling the second character. Each level will use a combination of two characters, whose abilities range from powerful punch attacks (Wii Sports boxing-****motions) to things like acrobatics and skills with bladed weapons.
There will also be rail-shooting sections and showpiece boss fights, and some sections where the whole Spyborgs team assembles.
From what we saw, Spyborgs looks like it has a younger focus, although "all the leads on the team at ex-Insomniac" and they hope the humour from games like Ratchet & Clank will cross over to grown-ups like you and me. Well, you anyway.
Bionic was also adamant that Spyborgs is not a mini-game compilation or throwaway exercise for the team, which has been assembled specifically for its production. "We want to be on the Wii - we don't want to port over a game like everyone else," designer Mike Stout explained. "Most of the games on the Wii are ports or micro-games and we think gamers are getting sick of that," he explained.-Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell
