One has to wonder who's going to buy this. I can't think of anybody I know (a small sample of the population to be sure) that likes this kind of game, yet uses the Wii as their primary game-playing platform.

awesome graphics! lolage :-) while i could rant all day that next gen graphics are so much better than this i won't, wii owners will probably love this and good for them! its a solid fps (if treyarch don't mess the whole project up) but basically minus the graphics of that seen on a PC, PS3 or Xbox360
