First it looks like IGN was wrong about FCV having a new story. It is actually just Evolution with 3 extra levels.

Second the controls are supposed to be better than Red Steel but they still have some issues.

Third all the reviews basically say the graphics blow...

Though based on an Xbox game, Vengeance looks more along the lines of what that game would have looked like had it been ported to PlayStation 2...But that's become expected with Wii ports.

Many users have commented asking why it doesn't at least look better than the Xbox version...

is if the wii is suppose to be slight more powerful than the xbox, then why such crappy graphics??? it looks like fun to play, but come on man i least make it look a lil bit better.xbox quality plz.....

I fully agree with NFSVFAN - the game in it's current state isn't really comparible to X-box, it actually looks worse. While the Wii isn't aiming at Next-gen graphics, I still think it is important for it to boast "better than current-gen graphics." Being unable to beat the original X-box is not a good thing for Nintendo.

And of course no online play. It looks like we'll have to wait a while longer for a complete FPS on the Wii. :-(

Because it's a SHITTY PORT WITH UNOPTIMIZED CODE.

I love the fact that this guy has me on ignore. Self-preservation for the weak hearted FTW.

I was stoked to hear Far Cry was coming to the Wii. Then I read that IGN thing a month ago and was like, "ah shit."

I knew this would happen. Total bullshit that Crytek and Ubi are passing this off. Then again, I bought Trauma Center: Second Opinion, and that game kicks ass.

So, I guess we'll see what happens when the game comes out. Maybe it'll be totally fun, enough to buy twice, like Call of Duty 3.

I don't think Crytek is directly involved anymore. Ubisoft is just using their engine.

I think the graphics look OK in some areas. I'll reserve judgement until I actually play it though, but here is a somewhat promising article. Gamespot has also said it is graphically on par with the xbox version for the most part.

Crytek has zero to do with ANY of the Farcry console games. Crytek sold the Farcry license to Ubisoft. These games probably aren't even made using a Crytek engine.

I'm pretty sure they're still made with Crytek's engine. Modified, of course.

QFT, damn I wish I'd gotten in on that Amazon deal. No 360 for me for at least a few years.

How many times are the graphics going to be mentioned on Wii games. 1,000 times? 1 million times?

Well, I would like to. The controller seems like it could work well for FPS games.

Honestly, I'd rather use mouse & kb or a dual analog controller. The gamepad for the Wii seems really small, so I guess I will be sticking to the GC controller for my GC games.

I've gotten used to dual analog too, but if it's done right I think the Wiimote can be almost as good as a mouse & keyboard for speed and accuracy.

I just want an online FPS with good controls and reasonable graphics. So far even Metroid Prime 3 hasn't been confirmed to have online multiplayer.

Call of Duty 3 is amazingly good when you get used to the controls (takes at least 30-45 minutes of gameplay to really "get it")
