Saying that you should try and self-impose limitations on yourself such as completing the game quickly and not using the abundant guns, misses the point.

And as Steve says, if ‘enemy variety’ consists of poodles and parrots then I’d rather stick with a huge variety of zombie skins anyday.

I find it INCREDIBLY biased and unprofessional for you to make the blanket statement that this game is “inferior in every way”.

You forgot to mention improvements such as multiple save slots and more enemy variety. Guns are actually useful in the Wii version, and can be reloaded.

Also, try playing the game on Hard mode! There are more zombies and they are more aggressive. Sure, there’s pop-in as you mentioned, but at least the game is plenty of fun and you will be surrounded by zombies a lot.

Oh, and there’s really no reason to be complaining about guns and too much ammo ruining the game. Nobody is forcing you to use guns.

Even though the game no longer has a ticking clock the way the Xbox 360 version does, you still have to play the game quickly if you want to see all the missions and boss fights, even though the game does not tell you that are missing things. So if you want to truly complete the game and rescue everyone, you still have to play quickly just like the 360 version.

Surely theres no more perfect way to miss a point?

Other cut-scenes that appear in the 360 version, also make no sense in the Wii version. For example, in the first battle against Carlito on the Wii version he fights you on the ground, yet when the cutscene starts he is magically on top of the roof…

Maayybee read the review properly before making sarcastic comments?

It’s great your able to offer a subjective review of the game, as this reviewer has done.

The only “control issue” I can attest to is that sometimes the heavy(flick remote) attacks don’t register.

You CAN explore, at your leisure. Case missions only continue if you enter the area where you need to be.

You are half-right about the wrestling moves. You don’t get them upon leveling up, but you do gain the capability to buy them instead.

The issues with zombie aggression, and ammo abundance is difficulty level dependent. Easy is just that…easy. The only “It’s too easy” sentiment I can agree with is some of the psychopath battles. Adam can be a decent challenge on any difficulty, where as Cletus and Steve are pushovers.

The “pointless grades” Otis gives you come with prizes if you do well enough. Everything from re-spawning melee weapons, to clothing items that have special effects. I’ve even unlocked the occasional hidden mission. The game also has extra mission modes which reward you with even better stuff.

Your bit about the “blooper” made no sense to me, I had no idea who that guy was on the 360 version either. Just some guy who got fed buckshot. *shrug*

The game isn’t great looking graphically, but if you’re playing on an HD set it’s not going to look as good as on an SDtv.

While certain inferiorities ARE indisputable, the game is only inferior in every single way, if you thought the original was a masterpiece, and liked it the way it was.

Here’s some problems that you didn’t even mention.

-Melee weapon sounds from the remote speaker sound very weak.
-”Gore” for certain moves is gone in even the US version. Disembowel just produces blood.
-Survivors can no longer be armed to help you fight.
-Many load screens.
-Certain boss fights are gone.
-Only one ending.
-Cutscenes are no longer real time.
-Bowling pin zombies in the driving mini-games.

The zombies are sparse at random times, in random places. <- I’ll file that under the anomalies you’re talking about. Same with the fade-in distance. Never had any fade in on me any closer then about 30-40 feet away. Ironically I had fade-in occur in the 360 version when I was in the grocery store, and al fresca plaza. Fade in is how both games keep replenishing zombies, it’s just not as obvious in the 360 version.

Bear in mind though, with a lot of modern games there are many issues that are quite random. People can have quite different gameplay experiences in regards to visual and gameplay bugs and glitches. I can only write about what I experienced.

Same thing happened with Alone in The Dark. That game was so horribly broken when I played it, but we had commenters that said that they had no issues at all.
