1.2 - sad but true...
The Wii (which I happily own) has nearly identical specs as the original Xbox. I am pumped for a current gen version of this game though.

Get the PS3 version, it should have similar motion sensing capability of the Wii version. (Tilt) but it will have graphics similar to the 360 version.

Silogan why do you always show up on the wii message boards...If you hate the wii so much and it's so inferior ..why even bother.You've got to be an xbox fanboy.......for a system that's just a novelty/toy you sure do seem to care about it alot.

2 - It's the same damn game
Only an idiot would argue over some slightly better graphics when it's pretty much the same except for some color and resolution. Too bad people are dumb enough to buy exactly same games with a tad better visuals that are the same quality as the wii compared to pc's anyway.

2.1 - lol
slightly better graphics? more like way better, you dont even have shadows and the wii version looks like its having a hard time keeping up with the dreamcast version.

"Too bad people are dumb enough to buy exactly same games with a tad better visuals that are the same quality as the wii compared to pc's anyway."

no they will buy the better version that you admitted to, the one with better graphics and shadows i also heard that the wii version wont have nighttime. Also its hilarious you called the 360 version the pc version in fact no pc version is in development at all.

How much you want to bet the ps2(thats right ps"2") version might look better than the wii's?

i love that your trying to defend the wii since the game is multiplat you cant use the play for gameplay not graphics excuse, and all you can come up with is complaining that its only slightly better graphics and use the word quality as if the graphics dont factor in for quality its obvious the ps3,360 version makes your version look like a piece of crap i think the dreamcast version of sonic 1 looks better than the wii.

I agree the wii version looks donkey. the psp has better graphics than this, oh wait that's right the psp has ps2-quality graphics so it does have.

The wii is a novelty item, guys. It is all about the motion controls and having you wave your arms around looking stupid. The wii is under pwoered, out classed and out gunned in everyway when it comes to current gen, last gen or next gen.

Ps2's version will look better and what is said, you're right, the Dreamcast Sonic Adventures had better textures and graphics than this.

2.3 - hey silogon
this is sonic and the secret rings a game that kicks the graphically impressive sonic 2006 on 360/ps3 in the nuts and is an actually good 3d sonic game partly because of the wii controls.

P.s it actually looks better than this. And most of the wii graphics hater don't know crap about technical specs, including you godly silogon.

I'm sorry dude i have the Wii and the graphics of the Wii are just abit better than the PS2 and ant even better than the Wii Nintendo made a big mistake not bringing out a console with next gen graphics.
With games like Super Mario Galaxy Mario Kart and super smash brothers the graphics ant gonna get better than that.
Feeding ur self lies isn't gonna change anything.
And i'm not a hater of the Wii i have all 3 consoles only differences is i'm not lieing to my self when comes what the Wii can do when it comes to graphics. Every thing Silogon says about the Wii is true.

While I know that the Wii version won't look anything like the 360/PS3 version, I don't like comparing scans to online pictures. I'm sure it looks slightly better than what's shown here.

Yes, they are in game shots, but they are also scanned onto the computer. That explains the fuzziness.

Why would you want to compare the graphics on the far superior 360 version if you are a Nintendo site?

8 - Sonic died after Sonic Adventure 2. Will it finally be able to rise again with this new game?
It looks promising since it is focusing on the main aspect of Sonic universe which is SPEED.

Despite the crap ps2 graphics this will likely be the better version as the devs have a good track record(albeit with 2d Sonic).
Maybe they should have asked Nintendo nicely and got the SSBB Sonic model.

10 - when does it come out?
You would think this game would use the same engine as Sonic and the Secret Rings. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. There is no excuse if it looks worse than that. Hopefully, there is more time to optimize the graphics. This would be the preferred version for me to get; my fiance' LOVES Sonic.

...The screens really aren't that bad. I don't see what the fuss is about. Of course the Wii version isn't gonna look as good as the 360 or PS3 versions, but didn't EVERYONE see that coming? The only real hate-on is coming from the graphics whores, and they're just as bad as casuals, really. So why is this so controversial?

edit: I'm laughing at the people throwing fits over the lack of shadows in a game about a hedgehog who collects golden rings and runs faster than the speed of sound. Get real.

11.1 - They can do alot better than this
It looks worst than Sonic and the secret rings which is a year old. I'd thought they do better cause if thats the finish product, I cannot buy that thats not even Sonic's color.

Well yes. There is a difference between comparing Wii games to other Wii games graphic-wise, and comparing them to 360 or PS3 games. The former is understandable. I personally don't care that much for graphics as long as the game is fun, and it looks like they're trying.
