Can't developers just make extra controls for like gamecube controler or classic controler but then again that makes whole purpose of gaming on wii useless.

And Madden 07 scored highest on the Wii.

Anyways, Gamespot has already made it clear they hate motion controls. IGN on the other hand, scored it the same as the 360 version.

Pretty much every multiplat that scores lower is a sports game, and I can honestly speak for everyone that no one cares.

Ign gave it the same score(7.8) as the one on the 360. Another review gave it a 8/10. So who cares what gamespot has to say. If everyone listened to them, then they would only have 360s with Halo 3 in their house.

I think you've hit upon the fundamental weakness of the wii and it's greatest strength. Multiplatform games will be terrible on the wii, however that will force developers to make exclusives for the wii.

Out of ALL the multiplat titles you'd think this one would have the greatest chance of actually scoring higher on the Wii.

I mean, for Christ's sake - it's ping pong, the Wii remote is practically made for games like that.

Kind of surprising.

I'm an air hockey man myself.

Just kind of shocked that the game was messed up, you'd think the ii would be a perfect fit for anything Ping Pong / Tennis / Bowling, etc. because the entire game is based around those swinging/hittingmovements.

Exactly. The Wiimote is less reliable than a good dual analogue controller, when motion control is all the Wii has it really shows it up.

The controls in this game could easily of been implemented well if the developer tried. If they could do Wii Sports I don't see why they can't do ping pong.

From the IGN review:

"We'd go as far as to say the Wii version plays better, is more entertaining, and far more intense than its 360 counterpart simply based off the motion controls, and that's a huge testament to Rockstar's design."

I hope Nintendo address this problem. I know they are going towards causal gamers, but their hardcore gamers are the ones who buys games like MP3 and Legend of Zelda. Also, eventually Brawl.

All you do in Wii Tennis is swing the Wiimote without anything to think about other than timing. Table Tennis goes a little deeper than that and the way you swing has an effect on the ball too.

It has more complicated mechanics.

The Wii has the most out of the three because Nintendo doesn't exercise any control. They sign a contract with THQ and Ubisoft, half-heartedly interested, and then they dump like 12-25 crap shovelware games. Microsoft andSony, while having their share of crappy multiplats, don't do this as much because they tighten the reigns a little more. Nintendo just opens its doors like a late night Amsterdam brothel.

As far as I can tell, there hasn't been stupid games like Carnival, Horsez, and Gingerbread Man on Xbox 360. On one hand, the Wii is cheaper to make games for, and that might be a good thing. On the other hand., cheaper development can also mean cheap crappy games.

True, but as gamers, should we really care about the bad games? I only focus on good games (which probably everyone does), and each system has their share.

Um obviously you have no clue as to what you are talking about. It's also obvious you haven't played Wii Tennis. Well here is a little info you obviously do not know. You can put top spin, back spin, and lob on the ball in both the forehand and backhand swing in Wii tennis. You can also direct your shots, and hit it hard or soft. Sounds pretty in depth to me. But you wouldn't know that since you have never played it. Or never even tried to do anything but just swing.

dont forget nba live

7.5 on the other consoles 3.0 on the wii

Anyways, Gamespot has already made it clear they hate motion controls. IGN on the other hand, scored it the same as the 360 version.

and madden 08 scored better on ps3 and 360.

if the controlls dont work well in a sports game,then its game over for it.

and its hard to make a sports game work with a wiimote

That's rediculous, besides I find it rather hard to get 20 people together everyday to play football, Madden fills the void.
