I just wanna start off by saying I'm glad Nintendo got exclusivity for this game, they deserve it.(I grew up with Nintendo and Sony, so pardon the fanboyism.)
I think we're forgetting that most games today are reskinned CoD games, which come on, is it that surprising? Its fracking Activision for christ sakes, thats the only kind of FPS they know how to do, but I digress, its either a reskinned CoD clone or a reskinned Halo clones these days, which in all honesty, Halo: Combat Evolved was a step in the right direction for console shooters after GoldenEye on N64, Call of Duty... Not so much. Everything after 2001 for first person shooters pretty much became trash in terms of story for campaign.
Im sorry but no. The Wii, with one of the most poorly impeleneted online systems in history, is not the right place to put a great online componant. "Best multiplayer for a Wii game" is kind of like the award for "Fastest 100 metres in the obesity clinic" since you are crippled with freind codes, paradoxically an online implementation a step backwards from IP adresses we saw go over 15 years ago.
Also Things have been just swell since 2001 for shooters. This is one of the things that REALLY annoys me when people spout it and it's quite a widespread false beleif. Shooters have actually been getting better, much better, and much more unique and distinct from eachother in the past decade. allow me to create a segement callled "A list of games that shows you have no idea what you are on about". I coouldn't think of a snappier title.
Half life 2
Half life 2; episode 1
Half Life 2; esposide 2

F.E.A.R.
BioShock
BioShock 2
Fallout 3

All great games that are nothing like CoD or Halo and feature a VERY strong singleplayer campaign.
First off, where have you been, the story for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was absolute shit, not to mention extremely predictable, also, I was talking about console shooters, so Half Life 2 gets ruled out since its usually a PC only played game and is absolute crap on a console. Fallout 3 has the option of being first or third person, but if you're going to put it on there you have to include Morrowind and Oblivion in that list since they're presented in first person format as well, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is PC only, so that rules those out pretty quickly since we're only talking about Console shooters, Escape from Butcher Bay... Come on do we really need to talk about that game, if you're going to use that one at least make it the version that came with Assault on Dark Athena, that was vastly superior to the original or Directors Cut, and actually bearable to look at too, not to mention, did we really need a prequel story to Riddick? Crysis, yeap, PC game, that gets booted off the list next, not to mention they put graphics before everything else in that game, your list is starting to dwindle dude... Hmmmmmm... Lets see... Ah yes, DooM 3... If you honestly believe the story in that was good... Theres something wrong with you, they might as well have called it DooM: The Lights don't Work edition. F.E.A.R., don't make me laugh, that failed as both a FPS and a Horror game, especially with the controls. Next up, Bioshock 2, what is there to say other than they were trying to capitalize on the Big Daddies to sell this game, not to mention the original team that worked on Bioshock had no involvement on it at all, and the storyline did have the same kind of impact as the last one, and I actually enjoyed ripping the ADAM out of the little girls in the sequel, the morality of your actions wasn't clear in that one like it was in the first, not to mention, "OH YOU CAN DUAL WIELD?" well that hasn't been anything new since Halo 2. I think I'll rip The Darkness up next, oh what can I say about this one that hasn't already been said, from the horrible controls to the shitty story, this game was craptacular and shitastic, bit of advice, you want to a game with a character that has a Demon arm, play Devil May Cry 4. The Resistance games... Ah I would have loved them had it not been for them being a simple copy and paste of every other sci-fi first person shooter, basic plot summary: Single american war hero joins up with brits to combat a genetic alien virus that was spawned in... Oh Russia? You guys again? Silly ruskies, always causing trouble for the world. Metro 2033? So now we're talking about the Russian equivalent of Fallout, basic plot summary: Nuclear war with another country causes people to live underground in the Russian equivalent of a Vault dew to mutants and fallout from the bombs. You know I actually liked that game too, but the more I played it the more I realized it was basically Fallout 3: Russian Edition. So I pretty much shot down all but Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes(and I've played and beaten the third one), Far Cry, Bioshock, and Fallout 3.
Also, don't talk to me about multiplayer, because my response to that is going to be the exact same as Yhatzee's, if you're going to sell a game at full price it needs to be able to stand up on single player alone because there are problems with the multiplayer that the game itself can't help.
