Wii has plenty of good games, the only people who bash the Wii bash the bad games that nobody even plays.

I've had the game for a month now.
The game works GREAT.

Howeverrrr the game doesn't have enough oomph.
You have the campaign which is an extremely childish tutorial and then Endless Play.
And that's it.
I would have liked some more campaign stuff, a little variation.

I can't recommend it for full price, but it definitely shows RTS could work great on the wii.
That's the problem isn't it? So much potential...
If there is going to be a next gen motion system some time (i don't think the devs have the required insight this gen) it will be my new hearted RTS and FPS platform.

I find that with quite a few Wii games, it's clear that Wii is amazing for FPS, for RTS, for most genres, yet nobody takes advantage of that, 360 and PS3 are good for FPS but Wii is a lot more fun in that genre, yet PS3 and 360 get a new FPS every 2 weeks, and Wii's lucky to get 2 a year.

let me just say what we are all thinking...that game looks lame. Sony and Microsoft created their consoles with good immune systems to prevent diseases like that game infecting them.

Good review, for once. I agree with many of the points. However, there is no mention of the scenes' voice-acting which is really good. Also the framerate is superbly smooth to begin with but will fall when your population is around 1000 on-screen at one time when you reach metropolis-level. It's a quality, accessible RTS game but it doesn't do enough or have enough content to make it last. The continuous mode is nice but it's still lacking overall. It's these points which make me knock the game's score down to a solid 7.5. If there was online, or better multiplayer or something like a side-campaign then this would easily be a AA title from me.

There are always going to be scores that you disagree with. Were the two games reviewed by the same person?

Nope. Have you even played halo wars`In what position are you to say what games suck and what don't. Halo wars should have been a 8, but no, crappy gamespot reviewer compares it to a pc game instead, and not the 8 different console rts. I didn't buy it because it had halo on it, i bought it because i tried the demo. and enjoyed it. An AAA franchise makes a game worse? Say what? Halo is not crappy, a crittacally aclaimed series, vs conduit for example.

[QUOTE="Communistsheep"] Luke anderson, seriously.

I have not played either game so I could not give a fair opinion of the games. It seems he though he thinks it was a better game. Maybe the puzzle mode on Ammo is what did it. The good according to the review was it sucked you in. It sounds like there were a number of extra modes to play. Maybe that is what set the two apart. Again I have not played either, so I am guessing.

He was complaining about now being able to play as different races in the campaign, and not having enough modes even though the dlc came out 3 months ago.

Communistsheep

Was it DLC that did not come with the game? A number of people do not have their 360 connected to the internet, so it would be more fair to base a review on how a game is from the day it's bought and not what it is like after DLC. I say this because I do not have my 360 connected to the internet.

There also may be your reason why Ammo got a better score it had more modes from the start.

Possible, but that does not justify the rest you could get atleast 8-10 hours through the campaign, and a skirmish mode that is alot of fun, the review was terrible, the worst part was when he compared them to pc games.

He was reviewing the complete game upon release. Its his opinion if you dont agree with it, wth does it matter? just play the game instead of complaining about its score.

I don't know why people are associating Anno with low standards. Maybe it's because they are ignorant and have never heard of the franchise. Either way, it's very prominent in Germany and is pretty much an AA franchise.

That's because cows and lemmings refuse to accept that the Wii has good games by focusing on shovelware. Perhaps if they would stop showing how horribly misinformed they are, Wii owners wouldn't need to open threads to prove them wrong.

Most games that gamespot scores an 8.0 or above get at least one thread in system wars. Call of Juarez and Fight Night both got threads.

Not to mention there are quite a few RTS's on the Wii already released, so comparisons on the platform can be made. Games such as LKS, Fire Emblem and Batallion Wars II.

Anyone else see the contradiction here? You accuse the Wii review of having low standards, yet complain that they DIDN'T lower the standards when reviewing Halo Wars.

Agreed. Now it needs some AAAE's to finish off the year on a high note. Hopefully, it doesn't turn into the second half of 2008 D:

yup, thats also why LBP got an 9.0 , on the wii it would have gotten a 7.5 since it actully has good platformers :P

fanboyism is fun, even if there is only 1 standard, game sites rate games at the same standards

It got a 9.0 for it's multiplayer and creativity, the platforming was just good. Fanboyism what, that i was pissed that gamespot reviewed a game based on pc standards and not console standards.

How do you know they didn't review Anno Wii based on PC standards? :| The IR pointer sure as hell makes it a lot better than any normal console RTS.
