Not to surprising in my opinion. I didn't think it looked all that great when I saw it on 'On the Spot'.

Why is this even worth making a thread?

I've neverseen people making threads about bullitwitch, ninety nine nights, tenchu z and hour of victory.

You know why....cause no one cares.

...and?

I think there was one thread on this over three months ago talking about the controls scheme, and how the camera was mapped to the nunchuck, and that was all I ever heard about that game.

it's not cause they don't care; it's cause people love bashing the Wii!

[rant] Lems/cows go out of their ways to bash the Wii. It gets one bad game, and suddenly "Wii has teh no good games!!!!1!" But when Hour of Victory came out, no one could bash the game because "everyone knew it would suck." Apparently, it's okay for 360/PS3 to have bad games, but not the Wii.

What's even more disturbing is the older Arcade version from the late 1980s looked better.

Hell, Loaded from the orignal PS looked better.

I knew this was going to be the end result. There was no way that Sega was going to get a pass with trying to pawn off a PSP game as a Wii game. There was a reason why they didn't even bother trying to show what was the Wii version and what was the PSP version since they are the same visually for the most part. In fact I'm actually glad this game got this score. Hopefully it will tank sales wise, people will save money, and Sega will take the hit they rightfully deserve for even putting out this game and thinking they could sucker people into buying it.

There was quite a lot of threads about N3 actually, and a few ones for Bullet Witch as well.

They reduced themselves, they could have done a lot better, just like Bioware has done with their console games. It's no excuse that they were PC developers.

Well, the diffrence is that RPGs sell well on consoles (even though Bio had to make them simplier anyway), the genre Totally Games specializes in is completely rejected by console audience

I'm not surprised. Even if this was a $5 game I'd still certainly avoid it.

Didn't it got awfully low scores all over the board though?

But it's true, Bullet Witch got 5. something in GS while IGN gave it a 4.

Also, I find it funny that GS labels a 5 game as mediocre while a 3 game as bad. Mediocre sounds worse than bad IMO.

Was anyone hyping it? When I first saw them talking about this game I was appalled. I thought it looked terrible and instead of the usual PS2 port, they decided to port a PS1 looking game. Early PS1.

Mediocre might sound worse than bad but it just mean that the game is like everyother game in its genre and it really doesn't bring anything new or spectacular to the table. Bad just means that the game sucks and you probably wont get any enjoyment out of playing it.

If you already knew this then just ignore my post and don't reply with something smart to say.

I hyped it to be reviewed terribly, but it looked fun so I picked it up today. It is lots of fun, just ugly as sin
