Bad Wii graphics? Clamor for your rights.
The movie was nice, the game seems to be okay, but the graphics for the Wii version of the game are uncomfortably absent. IGN’s review of Vicarious Vision‘s Spider-Man 3 video game for the Wii has spawned quite a big fiasco over on Digg, as the Game Nation blog’s AhrenBa lauded the sad state of Spidey for the Wii.
As IGN’s review mentions, there are definitely some things lacking in the graphics department for the game:
While its sheer size is ambitious, the presentation and make-up of the environments are definitely not. The webslinger zips through blurry, unrefined city blocks that pop in and out of existence and are almost entirely void of pedestrian life below… no matter where you go, the area looks pretty much the same as the place you came from.
AhrenBa’s entry probably echoes many sentiments gamers and reviewers had when they noticed these sorts of problems for their game: “I am sorry but, as a Wii owner, I am highly dissatisfied with the way developers are handling the graphics for Wii games. The PS2 version looks better than this, and we know for a fact that the Wii has more powerful hardware than the PS2.”
How do you feel about it? Do you think some of your Wii games are getting sloppy treatment from developers just because they’re Wii games? Let us know in the comments.
