... The graphics. *shiver* (that said there are good points)
User Rating: 7.6 | Need for Speed Carbon WII
I just got the Wii and don't get me wrong, it's fun as hell. I've got the Wii sports, play, and the Rayman game and they're all great . I can't see me getting into hardcore gaming with it like I do with my 360 because my hands get to acheing real fast. I just want to make that clear; the Wii has its things that neither of the other console do as good. And I understand full well that Nintendo was not pushing graphics as a top priority, but, what would be the right words... holy ****! This game is lousy. I usually don't complain about graphics provided they aren't totally subpar but this game is borderline hideous! If only for a matter of pride, you'd think they'd at least try to create something that looks respectable. I got the 360 version for a comparison and... there's not one. That being said, the game itself is fun. I think that the controls could have been fine tuned just a little better, but as is it's still plenty playable. I was an avid player of Most Wanted and I'd have to say this is a descent follow up. I always wanted night driving in the last game but this one is done totally in the dark. if they actually had a full mini day of half day/half light that would have been my prefered setting. I like the look of the city in Most Wanted better. This time around they went for the whole Emerald City look and it's cool but they just kinda beat you over the head with neon. I like that they made the cop chases hard but they also downplayed them in relation to Most Wanted and that was kind of upsetting. The other major change is the "squad-based" racing as I call it. You actually have a crew that races with you and you battle for turf. The city is diced up into little sections. It's kinda like Othello: control all the sections, you win the game and It actually works out pretty good. I usually prefer to race solo but it's always fun to sick Neville on your enemies.
All in all, the game is pretty descent. If you can ignore the ugly graphics and sometimes frustrating steering, you'd probably find this game neer perfect. I'd personally, I'd buy it on the 360 because of the better graphics and more stable controls but I have to admitt the novelty of the Wii wheel is pretty cool. If you liked Most Wanted, you could probably find this game on some console that would suit you pretty well.
