You cannot placate me with your images of iconic gaming characters warped to portray current social memes, Sales Manager Chris Thomas. I shall be presenting this information to Julian Assange and Mark Zuckerberg!

Possibly Martins favourite number! Thats all the evidence I need. Stick a bow on this, case closed.

Dear Neon-Soldier32.

I find your accusations dubious. Allow me to present the facts: Your profile states your first name is Wesley. A writer named Wesley Yin-Poole used to work for Videogamer.com. Your 'handle' as it is colloquially known, is 'Neon-Soldier32'. 'Neon' is the first name of Neon Kelly, a current Videogamer.com writer. And as if that wasn't enough, your 'handle' ends in the number 32, which is possibly Martin's favourite number.

I think I have adequately proved my point. Thank you and good day.

Indeed, I think Hesselius should hand in his resignation for failing as a snarky internet commenter.

Makes me sick.

First off, Martin clearly isn't a game dev, he's a staff writer and if he was 'so biased' then he wouldn't be reviewing games and seeing as though he has reviewed most of the big games in Q3 / 4, I'd say he must be quite decent at it.

Also, a review is basically an opinion: And people's opinions differ and no one's opinion is wrong.

You're right. I had a look through the review history and it appears this charlatan has reviewed the majority of Wii FPSes on PlayStation 3.

Dear Martin Gaston: If you're so BIASED as to be unable to even play Wii FPSes on the correct console, then you utterly fail as a games developer and I would request that you tender your resignation.

Yes, that... and this review... made you guys look like amateurs.

Chris, that's clearly not multiplayer. It's obviously a briefing screen for one of the campaign levels. Now you're making us look like amateurs.

I just read this review, and as a Wii owner who is a hardcore wii FPS, who has much more knowledge than this reviewer on Wii FPS games, I find this review very disappointing.

The guy who reviewed this obviously hasn't played many Wii FPS on the Wii, and clearly shows he has no knowledge of the history behind FPS on the Wii. Of course gamers who play most of their hardcore FPS on the HD versions will be more bias towards those versions.. But is it fair to directly compare the HD ports to the Wii version, as if developers have been spitting out AAA Wii FPS online games(when it hasn't), without even bothering to look into the hardware limitations of the Wii and the history of advancement of Wii FPS in general?

I don't think so.

Most of the things missing in this game (such as camera spike equipment, kill cam, theater mode, and the 3 missing kill streaks: valykrie rocket, chopper gunner, and airship, flamethrower attachment, and possibly clan tags and emblems) aren't even in this game due to technical limitations of Wii's measly 88 MB of Ram.

Oh and yes, Dead Ops and Pentagon 5 zombie map is missing, but at least Treyarch managed to include the rest of 90% of the content! This game features customizable controls, all maps, modes, perks, weapons, and pretty much everything else. The online multiplayer mode is exactly identical to the HD versions, minus visuals and audio differences, and the other things I mentioned above--mainly due to Wii's inferior hardware

And this is the FIRST online Wii FPS to include voicechat via headset known as the PDP headbanger headset(which works great), back end-patching, as well as DLC--all the features which this reviewer FAILED to mention.

If you want to read a less strong bias to HD versions review due to lack of experience with wii games, stick to more accurate reviews like Gamespot or Nintendo Life--who have more knowledge and history behind Wii FPS games, and who have been following the CoD franchise on the Wii!

Great read Martin, truly funny. Although after reading your review, I think I'll stick to the 360 version!

At a guess its Vietnam?

Hate to be a bit of a stick in the mud but the spoilers didn't add to the review & i think killcam & the chopper & co could all be gone on the "big boys" games and at least it would make the online more interesting than someone camping getting kills for doing jack & those he shot my left forefinger twice deaths won't make you scream WTF NOOB at your tv half as much .
Bar those a jolly good read.

Who is playing battlefield during work hours then,and you guys really need a cable tidy.
