No voice chat doesn't mean you're playing with bots; a bot will never be as good as a human player, who uses tactics and strategies that can radically change on the fly. No voice chat just means that: no voice chat! Which to me isn't a horrible thing. Most games I play that have a voice chat ability usually features chats that I don't care about or rather not hear. That's why while I have a feeling a headset will eventually come out for the Wii, it won't really matter to me.

At least it won't matter until Nintendo makes a first party, must-have game that has voice chat as an integral feature; that's how I think Nintendo will introduce a headset if they ever make one.

Most games I play online feature some sort of text chat, so I use that over voice. That, or a PC messaging service like Google Talk or Messenger. I've even used my cell phone or home phone if I HAVE to talk with them and they aren't in the immediate area. Usually I'm too busy actually playing the game to communicate with other people. If I chat at all, it's between rounds or in the lobby.

Voice chatting just isn't a big deal to me; most times the only things said over a headset is stuff like, "Damn, you took a rocket to the headplate, mofo!!!", over a garbled mic. Not phrases I really care about hearing everytime someone scores a kill.

They gave Baroque a 3/10? Damn; I'm really looking forward to that, too! Now I want to know exactly why that got such a low score. I mean, they gave the Bass Fishing game a higher score, and that's a port of a Dreamcast game! Something tells me that whoever reviewed it just had a horrible time with it, and that score definitely shouldn't reflect everyone's views on the game.

I hope, at least. Seriously: 3 out of 10? I'm expecting 6's or 7's from most professional reviewers. Good to hear they liked Opoona, though. I have my eye on that game.

I have COD 3 for my Wii and would gladly sell it to you. I hated it. worst purchase I have ever made for my Wii.bcrich959

Got my copy when I ordered my Wii bundle last year; sold it to Gamestop for money on Super Paper Mario, a MUCH better game!

Call of Duty 3 is out for the Wii. You use the Wiimote and the Nunchuk in a variety of ways. There is no multiplayer whatsoever, which is understandable at the time since it was almost a launch game. Still, the 360 version has online play, so that and the improved graphics make it the best version to get.

Like WiiBaller said, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 is way better. It has the best FPS controls on any console (arguably better than the mouse & keyboard), and features 32 player online.

Also, Call of Duty 5 is apparently coming to the Wii, but as it's being developed by Treyarch and takes place in a WWII setting, most feel like it won't be a good game, especially when compared to COD 4. I'd be one of those people.

Well, you said that the team behind it was Eternal Sonta, and that made it to NA. In fact, it wound up on the 360, a system that's not so friendly to JRPGs. I think if it proves to be a big hit, there's a good chance we'll see it overseas. The Japanese game market is trying to get western audiences more and more this gen, so I think playing Fragile without importing it can possibly happen one day...whenever it's finished.

Not to get off-track, but you've fallen for a very popular and incorrect assumption about the 360. There are actually more jRPGs for the 360 than there are on the PS3 and Wii combined. MS made a concerted effort in making sure the sub-genre was supported on their console and thus far they've done a good job.

Hmm...while I was typing that, I was actually thinking of something I read in an article once about the 360 and RPGs, specially JRPGs. The thing is, the only ones I can name off the top of my head are Lost Odyssey and Eternal Sonta. Seriously; I'm not saying there aren't any more, but I'm just ignorant of their existance, I guess. I don't want to turn this into a recommendation thread, but if you can name any others I'm all ears as I love rpgs, and I'm thinking of getting a 360 soon.

Oh, and there's Blue Dragon as well, but that was a mixed result. Some liked it, but I think most thought it was just average. The 360, just like the Xbox, just doesn't seem like an RPG console, especially JRPGs.

Double Dragons! Or BattleToads! Or, dare I say it: Double Dragons & BattleToads!

I think that pretty much sums it up, right there.
