Thought Cruis'n was the worst looking Wii game? Think again!

January 03, 2008 in News comments 16

Yes, you heard right. Cruis'n is no longer the worst looking Wii game! Konami has now stepped up to the plate and introduced a (previously coin-operated) 2D-ish arcade-style shooter to Nintendo's next-gen console. Why oh why would Konami - of all companies - think that rereleasing Target: Terror on a console would be a good idea?
In fact, Target: Terror makes Cruis'n's graphics look (*gasp*) almost good!

Color me puzzled. Why would anyone, and I mean anyone, want to port a horrid, mostly unseen coin-op rail shooter from 2004 to the Wii?

Maybe Konami thinks the kitsch factor will outweigh what will soon officially be the worst graphics on the Wii console. That's right this makes Cruisi'n look like a Playstation 2 game. I'd blame the horrid graphics on the Wii, but I've seen the arcade game and they were just as bad on the 2004 coin-op, maybe worse

    Ugh, that has to be the worse looking game I have ever seen.

    The graphics are disgusting, and the gameplay seems choppy.

    Its not about the graphics folks its all about the gameplay.

    though about 99% of the people who talk about gameplay dont even know what it means, im in that 99% i dont know what gameplay is but hey thats what sounds cool to say today.

    Holy sh-t that looks bad. It literally looks like a bunch of guys snipped straight from a magazine and glued onto the screen.

      Why would you even buy the game so you could shred it up? Just for kicks? I don't think it's worth kicks.

        This usually should be the tip-off

        "come review time"

        I review games and gaming hardware for companies. I wouldn't buy this pile of garbage.

    I would expect this from a small, obscure publisher, but this insulting software is coming from Konami? The same people who created amazing franchises such as Contra, Castlevania and Metal Gear are releasing this? Honestly, I feel sick just looking at the screenshots.

    I must admit, though, I am looking forward to it's release just to read the reviews.

    Dear *bleep*ing god...Well...on the bright side...this is a good chance for Atari (or Midway) to sneak in Area 51 arcade into the Wii, eh?

    Oh my..

    This is terrible, really, really terrible. They look like old classic arcade games. I expect these sort of things to appear on the Virtual Console.

    Who really cares about graphics for the Wii? xD It is more about gameplay, multiplayer, etc., anyways...but yeah, I admit those do look bad.

      But there is a sort of ... uh ... expectation that should be reached when it comes to graphics. The Wii might not have graphics as detailed as 360 or PS3, but that doesn't mean game companies should get THIS lazy and release games with graphics THIS bad. (Especially if said company is Konami).
      The graphics should at least be decent and up to the standards of most Wii games.

    When we're playing on a system that normally has pretty good graphics, we have expectations. If we were playing this game on say, a PSOne or even a PSP, we wouldn't be commenting on graphics like we are here. But this is the Wii.

    Put simply: if we own a console that is supposed to have good graphics, we expect all of them to look good.
