Technically it's quite impressive for a modestly powered console. The game itself looks rather generic, but hey, there are fuck all good shooters on the Wii so this is a welcome addition.

But really all of this stuff should be quite easy to do on the Wii. I mean it's no more powerful than an Xbox yet there are tons of Xbox and even Gamecube games that pull off bump mapping effects and all that.

It's just that most developers don't have a frigging clue how to get anything out of the hardware.

I don't any of you haters have any idea how hard effects like these are to pull off. You understand Wii doesn't support conventional shaders, right? It's not easy reworking known shaders using only TEV.

I'm impressed.

Is this supposed to look impressive? I dunno if its the art direction or what but it looks like something made for a Wii to me. I understand when someone like Epic comes out with a tech demo for its engines but this just looks kinda bleh in comparison to saaay Gears2.
