well, since we're discussing graphics and mario kart is pretty cartoony, they dont quite hold a candle to gran turismo or forza motorsports...

The thread title is "Good games on the Wii," so the graphics discussion is just an aside.

I'm sure RDT was referring to the "fun" aspect, which for some of us is more important than graphics. If that was what he meant, then I wholeheartedly agree. GT and Forza are not nearly as fun for a family to play together as Mario Kart.

And for me personally, not nearly as fun period.

I'm sure PS3 must have some good games Wii doesn't have, and Xbox 360 has Fable 2 and Halo3. Other than that, I'd rather have a Wii. Correction, I'd rather buy a Wii. I'd rather have a PS3 so I can return/sell it and get a Wii plus a lump of cash.

I have yet to see anything as awesome as Mario Kart come from the PS3 or Xbox 360.

Or Super Smash Brothers Brawl either. But one game I love is MadWorld. It would be a lot better if it didn't have excess amounts of cursing in it.

The Wii is a pretty cool party console and good for casual gamers. The xbox 360 is great for people who really get into gaming because it offers more of the "cooler" games. Whats cooler stealth sniping on evasion in spec ops (CODMW2) or pulling of a final smash in SSBB?

Idk, but what's more fun is spanking a hot-shot Ike player with Wall-E.

I just got LEGO Star Wars Complete Collection. If you haven't played the LEGO S.W. game before, it's pretty funny and fun. Good replay value too.

well, rob is tiered considerably higher than ike...not a hard thing to do...

Minister Polarius · « **Reply #109 on:** December 30, 2009, 05:12:49 PM »

Most people who play SSBB aren't interested in tiers. They think they're hot stuff because they beat all the bad players in their area by mashing B with Ike and get incensed when I take no damage while dismantling their 5 stock with a Pixar character.

Brawl is still better. It is probably one of the best multiplayer games for kids of all ages and you get to kill things in a way not so graphic.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #114 on:** December 31, 2009, 10:09:38 AM »

I think it's pretty clear that everyone will have their opinion no matter what, so we should just stop arguing about which system is better and get back on topic. (Sorry to ruin the fun.

)

I've been wanting to get the game Okami for a while now. It looks to me like it makes great use of the wiimote, as well as having beautiful animation.

Brawl is so boring after a while. There is no upgrade system or good on line multiplayer ( the online is really laggy ). It is a cool party game but if you cant have a party every day it gets old rather fast.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #117 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:18:45 PM »

Are any FPS's better? I can't imagine that being so.

Master KChief · « **Reply #118 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:20:53 PM »

that would normally be true, but mw2 breaks the mold. 10 levels of prestige, collectible callsigns and emblems, challenges out the wah-zoo...it has tremendous replay value outside of mercing noobs.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #119 on:** December 31, 2009, 06:28:17 PM »

SSBB has numerous levels and characters to play with and also has an amount of challenges not easily surpassed.

You are 100% right YourMathTeacher! The Wii is a family system, when I go to my grandparents (even at home) we play Wii Sports for hours every night and it never gets boring. When friends come over we never play my PS3 exept for Rock Band, we always play the Wii and could care less about the graphics because we are having so much fun.

I dont think there is much of a difference in the graphics on most games. I have played the same game on the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii and there is hardly a difference, but you do have games like COD that are better on the 360 or PS3 but only games like that.

Master KChief · « **Reply #122 on:** December 31, 2009, 11:35:22 PM »

there is a HUGE difference between the graphics on the wii versus ps3 or 360. have you actually played the ps3 or 360 on an hdtv? the wii is not capable of hd. furthermore, both the ps3 and 360 have a much much MUCH stronger graphics engine than the wii. like was said previously, the wii has ps2 graphics, at best. nintendo has never prided itself on its graphics, but its strong gameplay. i'll give it that, but i'd rather have my cake and eat it too...solid gameplay AND cutting-edge graphics (360/ps3).

TheKarazyvicePresidentRR · « **Reply #123 on:** January 01, 2010, 12:48:52 AM »

Well the rest of us would rather have our cake, eat it too, even if it isn't as pretty as yours, it is just as tasty

lets agree to disagree.
