Over on the TombRaiderForums there\'s nothing but negativity about these screens.

Probably because they\'ve gotten so used to seeing only 360 screenshots.

I personally think the Wii version graphically is shaping up nicely. The pictures aren\'t the best but by release time I think the graphics will be top notch, for a third party Wii game anyway.


This is for the 360 version but other than graphics, the game should be pretty similar. In terms of story, I think it\'s safe to say that it\'s best to have some knowledge of Legend and Anniversary.

The Wii verrsion looks alright, I would not go as far as to say it's impressive as it's only stone work in the those pics. Hopefully the foliage and water will be of a similar quality as those are much harder to render realistically.

Screens look decent, small, but decent.
Hopefully will come out as a solid action/adventure game for Wii.

The Screens themselves look good. textures are crisp most of the times, at least outside.
It seems to me, that Lara looks more flat then on X360. But surroundings themselves look good.
Actually, with the crap graphics of games out on Wii this looks almost ...revolutionary!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Dosnt look as good as any of the Prince of Persia games did on the cube, imho.

But still, better then most Wii games.

Wii one looks good as far as im concerned. The DS one looks so so. Well if you put it into context, there was a Full 3-D one running on the N-Gage's tiny screen. So if you put it that way people are just being fucking lazy bastards. Excuse the french.

If I look at them from far enough the Wii screens look quite good the textures on the environments are pretty good.

Also considering the PS/PSOne was a 32bit console where as the DS is 64bit, you'd think that all the 3D games on it would look better.

Aye, the DS is capable of far more than these screens, but at the end of the day it's down to the developer to lay down some effort.

Decent hardware <> decent visuals.

I love how the screens are tiny so you can't tell how bad the graphics are. Smilie
