I like to play video games, so you could call me a gamer. I live in a community with a large number of gamers. Sometimes we get into arguements, debates, and even just general discussion about games. One thing i have heard my friend say frequently is:

"The graphics on the Wii suck." I always find myself telling him that it doesn't matter; and that the wii is not renowned for its graphics, but who cares? The point is, graphics are given too much attention. I mean, i understand bad animations make all of us want to hurl but critiscizing the Wii? It's a brainchild of Nintendo, so of course the graphics are going to be made to be fun and attractive. If you want good graphics, go buy an Xbox 360 or a PS3. It isn't wise to complain about a game when it has a purpose for having bad graphics. For instance: most of Nintendos' games are made to look colorful and friendly. However, this doesn't impress some gamers and therefore is heavily critiscized. However, the PS3 and Xbox 360 have very good graphical engines. These games are made for high performance hard core gaming. You can attack locusts or team up with Spartans to take down baddies. The Wii just is not designed for that kind of violent in depth play. The same goes with the DS; it is made to be interactive and entertaining. The Game cube stands on the fine line between both of these, and sometimes it can be hard to distinguish which category it falls into. All i'm saying is that instead of critiscizing game systems, you should actually play it and see why the graphics are the way they are. Don't mock what you don't understand young grasshoppers.
