Personally I would say Far Cry, because I am a Far Cry fanboy.

Graphics mean little, you own a wii, that says everything.

But Knuckels, lol it's the other way round. You haven't played the 360 version. I've played 'em both. So don't say stuff that you don't know anything about, that's the number one sign that you're a mindless fanboy. Far Cry has been around on PC and Xbox a lot longer than it's been on Wii. How can you say it's **** on Xbox 360 when the Wii version is a dumbed down port?

I'd go for Far Cry. Red Steel seems over-hyped in my opinion. And from the videos I've seen of Far Cry on the Wii, it looks very promosing.

...then again, so did Red Steel before it was released and it turned into one of those dreaded "You hate it or love it" kind of games.

rent out both and see which one suits your preference. But if I can say one thing...STAY AWAY FROM COD3. You will get bored of it sooner than you can say "ZOMG I WANTS MAH MUNEYZ BACK!!!"

red steel - arguably poor control, good graphics, multiplayer
far cry - good control, truly atrocious graphics
cod 3 - good control, bad graphics

i'm leaning toward cod 3, as it has generally garnered positive reviews. consensus on cod 3 is the controls are good, but the graphics can be a lot better. far cry has been decimated due to the atrocious graphics, but controls are also good. red steel looks great, but has often been accused of poor controls.

i wish ubisoft had the presence of mind to communicate between its teams i.e. why couldn't the far cry people help the red steel people out with the controls??

so wii hasn't really had an FPS with a good balance between good graphics and good control yet. which is a real shame, as it certainly has the potential for it. at the moment, the best middle ground is cod 3 - acceptable graphics, and good control.

still early days yet. With practice makes perfect....althought maybe not with Ubisoft, I'm looking at some other not so big company to bust it out big with an awesome FPS for the Wii.

Wait for Farcry to be released, then check the reviews.
The control scheme seems really good, also i dont understand why people say the Wii graphics are bad? I guess they are all graphics whores, but Wii is definatly next gen the graphics do exceed the capabilities of all the last gen consoles.

I am trying to find a good FPS also, I beleive Farcry will have multiplayer ? can anyone confirm and that will be a big selling point for me.

If it has good controls, online and good maps thats all i need in a FPS.

just my thoughts

Hahahaha! Your niavety makes me laugh! The personal attacks just make you look like an "ill informed fool"... Spruced up by one percent, you say? The 360 version is the RAW game... it has more polys, shaders, better draw distances, better physics, better AI, better controlls, and overall BETTER GAMEPLAY than will ever be possible on the Wii. That's why they had to dumb it down so much to fit it onto Wii's six year old hardware. I know how games work, YOU DON'T. You said over at My360 that the 360 is dead because of the Wii? You are the definition of the term ill informed fool...

Lol @ iddqd,
You just called me a tyrannical little **** ? =) (or did i misread?)

Thats very funny ^__^, little kids are so sweet!

~ I never posted anything about your obviously biased comments
~ I am trying to encourage posative feedback to honest questions by forumers who actually want help
~ Of course, feel free to be a fan boy an post any rhetoric you feel you like, such as Xbox rules, etc, heard it all before.

My point still stands, it would obviously be more beneficial to the poster if someone who knew what they were talking about posted a reply. Instead of a lame Xbox 360 remark such as "Far Cry... on Xbox 360"

Now dont forget to be in bed by 8:30, get your mummy to read you a story and drink your milk ( ^.^ )b

Peace all

Hahahaha! Maaddog, you slay me! I've never said anything like "Xbox rules" And I surely haven't said anything that I couldn't justify. Not once. What I say is based on fact, not opinion. And for the record I don't drink milk, I'm more likely to be drinking beer or coffee... and I don't really have a bed time either, but I try to make it before 3 AM And I AM allowed to say what I want and no TYRANNICAL LITTLE **** like you will ever stop me

Good to see you're being honest for once iddqd
This is a forum, feel free to say whatever you want, you fact speaking person you. If every word you speak is true you should start up some cult. You'll have a lot of followers.
