The ugliest Wii game yet?

FidoDido | August 22, 2007 | News | Wii 
The Cruis'n series of racing games has never been renowned for its quality, and the by the looks of the first screens of Cruis'n on the Wii, that trend isn't about to be broken.
Oh, and indeed, dear. The screenshot above is one of three distributed today of Cruis’n, the Midway San Diego-developed racer currently in development for Nintendo’s Wii. If the name rings a bell, it’s likely you’re thinking of one of the three Cruis’n titles that hit the N64 - Cruis'n USA (1996), Cruis'n World (1998), or Cruis'n Exotica (2000).

    Graphics only a fanboy could love...

    Wii's graphics aren't as good as the PS3 and 360 but they also shouldn't be this bad. :/ The PS2 version looks better but hopefully they improve upon it. The Wii is lacking quality racing simulators.

    It's over.

    PS3 and 360 are doomed.

    finalblade,

    I think renee was just being a bit sarky, mate.

    And not many problems with the game? It's hideous as hell and out in November. :/

    It looks like they took an image and blew it up, like the website did it or something, so much pixelation.

    Haha! I thought it looked like a Cruis'n game. Crazy how I was able to tell just by looking at that one picture.

    When I saw it here, I was thinking how it was one of the best looking DS games.

    This is really pathetic. The DS can pull that off without trouble. The N64 had better looking racing games, and it's even weaker than the DS. It looks terrible. Those rails look like bricks, flat painted bricks. Developers can disgust me sometimes. We all know a Wii isn't nearly as powerful as a 360 or PS3, but come on. I'm not expecting Bioshock graphics. I can get that elsewhere. Just something that doesn't look like a Virtual Console game...

    Uh, okay. They need to make some major editing on this game or it's screwed. Even the Nintendo DS could cook up better graphics than this. Shame.

    I was using the Cruis'N forum the other day to test some CSS stuff because the place was deserted...

    The graphics suck. Period. Even the DS can make better graphics than this piece of junk.

      Playstation 1 did look better than this alot better on the racing front, Ridge Racer 1/2 are still some very graphically appealing games despite being from 1995/97.

        Use a little common sense. A file name called V8DS, the obvious dual screen screenshots...

        What system do we think this game is on children?.

    If you look in the top stories list and right below it is the article "Why Graphics Matter". Coincidence? I think not!

    Actually, imo graphics don't matter that much. It's all about game play. The game could look ZOMG~ ie: Crysis but if it plays like monkeys then no thanks. This does look like an N64 game, though which is pretty lame.

    Yeah...I was thinking that it looked about N64 quality >_> Or early PS1 quality...

    Its pretty sad, when the portable console (DS) can cook up the same, or better graphics, then the home console (Wii)...They really need to fix that up >_>

    Perhaps it is early in development? If so, then...why release screens?

      They should be well into development since the game is coming out in November unless the next four months is when they get into heavy development. I'd doubt this game does well but I did like Cruis'n on the N64 and I would like to be pleasantly surprised.
