Upon looking through IGN’s review section, I came across the newly developed Wii game, Spiderman 3. Alas, it received a 5.4/10 (from IGN), which is not good at all. I then proceeded to look at the screen shots for the game, and was stricken by how bad the graphics looked. Just take a look at these pictures for instance (images courtesy of IGN.com):

Veiw the pics here

I just cant belive how bad this game looks on the Wii :eek:

Glad i got the 360 version over this
 
Oh god thats bad, it seems developers are just using the lower powered graphics as an excuse to just churn out crud looking games.
 
That really is shocking, I can't believe it was released looking like that. I thought the Wii was supposed to be on par with the original Xbox so surely that is just lazy developers. I hope games like this bomb so developers then realise that they have to put some effort in.
 
I wonder what owners of wii would say. If I remember correctly, wii is about gameplay and grapics is probably secondary (or university :p )

Hmmm, I dont know about that but what would be the best graphics the wii can handle? I think the spider is probably close to it peak output unless im mistaken.

Regarding this picture - "If you go too high, the city textures go on vacation." is what IGN review said.
Yeah but surely not this bad, this reminds me of a PS1 game looking at that
 
I don't get it - even the Playstation 1 spiderman games looked better. Probably tops Farcry for worse looking Wii game now.

Have a look at PS2 review in IGN, you'll be surprised.

Basically, any games coming from movies almost always turn out to be crap on any format, what do you expect?

I agree, most games based on films are crap but all im saying is they could have made a better looking game than this
 
:eek:
Oh dear, looks like they rushed this game out to be inline with all other releases.

Although as Phoenix211 said the fun is using the controllers so the graphics do come second
