Lets just get these DS launch like games out of the way and move into a year of real games, please! Im actually buying Spider-Man 3 today, so I'll have something to play atleast...Too bad I haven't heard much good about it, haven't much period of course....
so djwheat on dtoid now? So the STD that is Robert Summa has penetrated EG...
wait, i don't get it. do you like the wii?? are you being really sarcastic and still hate the wii? is all the I hate wii a bunch of bullshit? Screw it, i stopped caring.
Dear god, can developers at least just keep making Gamecube quality games that incorperate Wii controls, because even that would satisfy me. Its as though the need to justify the controller has turned the game developing community into toddlers.
While I'm excited that ea is seeing the potential of the Wii, in releasing new IPs and original games, but I'm not into the this sort of game. Brutal is right, it'll sell, which is good, but I'm still waiting for a deeper, more cinematic game. EA playground? bleh...I'm just waiting for metroid and mario and that. I think 08 will be the year the wii reaches its potential finally. These types of games will be less important and some blockbusters will be announced, I think RE:UC will be the begining of epic 3rd party games. Not to say that the game will be epic, but I think devs will see it's potential, and that by then the user base will be hard not to taken more seriously
Judging by the extremely unrealistic motion that video showed, I'm getting the players won't be making an effort to duplicated the on-screen actor. This means they'll be playing some jazz-ed up Parappa or DDR...only with a controller than hurts your wrist and arm after thirty minutes.

Come on, everyone yells that there are no original games that take full advantage of the Wii. Here comes one and everyone cries.
I'll give it a rental before I write it off. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
More like, booger! HA! Booger, get it?
