The Wii is still in need of a top class shooter that nails both the controls and the graphics - Metroid is undoubtedly a great game, but it's not a traditional FPS. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 played well but looked pretty drab and was another WWII based game (which I'm kind of bored of now). Yeah, in the context of the best PC shooters this may not have raised many eyebrows, but since it is on the Wii and will make use of the Wii controls, the fact that it also looks decent (and I like the look of that eye thing that seemed to show up hidden objects and enemies) is very notable indeed. Looks pretty good.

Metroid still looks better. Also, are we, as a culture, giving props to games because we think something looks ok <em>considering it's on the Wii</em>? I don't see why one console in today's climate should get special dispensation whilst others don't. Also, FPS games tend to find their worth more in multiplayer than singleplayer. Again, not something I'm expecting a great deal from considering the host platform. Yes, it looks decent <em>considering it's on the Wii</em> but, no, it doesn't look that hot for an FPS in 2008.
