Engadget gets in-depth with the Wii MotionPlus

I think everyone is still fighting over the Conduit review.

From what my buddy tells me, the improvements in control and playability on Tiger Woods with Motion Plus is incredibly substantial. The one I owned a few years ago became borderline unplayable because the Wiimote would eff up 1 out of every 4 or 5 swings. He thinks the new one is pretty flawless, loves it.

I agree, Wii motion plus didnt add enough to Tiger Woods 10 to make it that much of a better experience form the previous one.

I imagine Wii sports resort will be the true demonstration of the Wii motion +.

Graphics do matter, and the graphic fidelity actually does impact gameplay in Tiger Woods. Its hard to notice subtle variations in terrain, in fact its hard to tell if the polygons aren't actually there or if its just a low resolution mess.

Its hard not to take the graphics for Tiger into account, they are bad.

"The one thing I DIDN'T like about this article: the dig at the Wii's graphics capabilities at the end. The article didn't need that. I felt that was king of petty."

No, it's petty to ignore the poor graphics ability of the Wii. The graphics on Tiger Woods 10 deter it from greatness. It's amazing, but it's not quite greatness. It's difficult to see the hole in the distance, it's difficult to discern the hole from the putting grid when you're on the green sometimes, and it's just clunky looking. And yes, I have the component 480p set up. The Wii looked better on my old CRT. It's such a letdown after playing the 360 and PS3 operating at HD.

I really wish that Sony motion thing would hurry up and come out, so we could get some amazing 1:1 Tiger Woods golf club control in HD. I fear that the Natal thing is a ways off and that MS will do it without any controller in your hand, like that painting demo. Not how I want to golf, MS. So I await the SonyTotalDildo™ (STD for short) control.

That's a bit of my point, though. If you want to talk about how the graphics of the particular game detract or add to the experience, fine. But what they did in the article was take a bite at the Wii, basically saying that its graphics are just plain inferior to the other two consoles, and that motion controlled games will only REALLY be good when they ARE on the other consoles, because of their graphic capabilities. At least, that's what I took out of this articles end. And that is what I feel was inappropriate for them to do: take a cheap shot at the Wii.

oooooh wunderbra !!
