Ugh...more people throwing around the "hardcore" term. Being a shooter doesn't make a game hardcore- not by a long shot. And being that definition of hardcore doesn't mean it's going to be a good game, or even a not terrible game. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that, on average, games that are labeled "hardcore" for having blood, guns, violence, etc. are worse than games that are labeled "casual" for things like color and upbeat music. If you think hardcore games are realistic war, racing, and sports simulations, than I sure as hell don't want to be hardcore.
What makes a game hardcore is high overall difficulty and a complex control scheme- nothing more. That being said, I consider myself to be an extremely hardcore gamer.
OT- Wasn't planning on getting this game. I never owned the original and didn't find it to be all that amazing with my experiences at friends' houses. I also predicted it would dissapoint a shitload of people upon release.
"Activision and developer Eurocom had invested a lot of time and energy making a great shooter for the Wii"- This is slightly reassuring. If the controls are as solid as they can be (should be better than MP3) than this could be the new definitive FPS for Wii.
