Doesn't look bad at all. The cars look bad, especially in the last pic but overall it looks ok. It looks better than GT Pro Series (If you look at the roads grass and some objects)which also wasn't that bad. I'll probably get flamed or whatever for saying that it looks good but I'm serious so...bleh
I still haven't got mine yet and the site said they would be dispatched on the 15th of October. I know they are free but I still expect to get the stuff that I've ordered.
Yeah Downhill Jam was great. The only reason I got rid of it is because I'd completed it and there was nothing else to do. I was expecting Dave Mirra to be like DJ (as in controls, look and style)but better. I guess I was wrong
Wing Island. It seemed decent enough when I first got the game but the tedious missions and somewhat awkward controls really bring the game down. The overall premise and story were good enough but but that's it really.
Most of the people that complain about graphics are "Hardcore" gamers who's first console was a PS2.
For the people (like me)that still play the PS1, Saturn, Megadrive, N64 ect. regularly, they don't care as much about amazing graphics. Those (like me) that still play older games are more interested in the general art style and the atmosphere. 300 million polygons a second running at 60fps with friction calculated depth of field particle effects running in 1080p doesn't create art. It helps it look better but it doesn't make it.
Having said that though, there are some bad looking games on the Wii like Far Cry Vengeance. Another game that gets a lot of crap for it's graphics is GT Pro Series which I think is a nice looking game. Red Steel's later levels (and especially the last one) look awesome. Excite Truck is also a great looking game as well as plenty of others. Stop whining, play some more older stuff and realise that great graphics don't just come from specs.
I had quite a lot when I first got it as I got my GC for Xmas in 2004 so I got some pretty cheap games to go with it. Legends of Wrestling - Good...until you realise how terrible it is. WWE Wrestlemania X8 - One of my favourite GC games. * WWE Wrestlemania XIX - a decent game but severely lacking decent single play as the Story mode is crappy. * WWE Day of Reckoning - Brilliant game with a good story, decent roster and plenty of matches. * True Crime Streets of LA - Good for a little while but gets annoying and repetitive. Eternal Darkness - Another great Gamecube game. I got very close to completing this but got really frustrated with it. I haven't played it in ages. * 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker - I think I played this a total of 3 times before I realising how bad it was. *The games I've still got.
It's essential to the future of gaming but right now, I don't see a huge need for it. I don't mind playing games on 2 DVD's right now but next gen, blu ray (or another high capacity format) will be required.
Mario Kart FTW! I've hated the GT series ever since the first one. It's not that I think the games themselves are bad, it's just that I'm not a fan of racing sims. The closest I've got to a racing sim is PGR 2.lol
