GameSpot gives 1.5/10 to Wii's Anubis II: "One Of The Worst Games Ever"
49
Ultimately, what you need to know is this: Anubis II is one of the worst games ever created and fundamentally broken. If you play it, you can never get back the three hours you wasted on this unique brand of torture.

"These archaeologists then created a platformer called Anubis II in this vision, putting you in the sandals of the wolf and tasking you with defeating an evil... something. Somewhere."
Awesome review. GameSpot can write good and informative reviews after all.
Seriously, this game is bad. Bad in a way that should have never been made.

UMM mark 1 do you happen to be mesh1 by any chance..??
have you played Lair..?? cuz that game wasn't as bad as reviewers made it out to be...
I don't see how Gamespot can give AC a 9 when it has more serious problems than Lair....and give Lair a 4...and the only thing that hindered lair in a bad way..was repetitve missions..and the targeting system..the controls have a steep learning curve but once you get the hang of it..it's not a prob...
BTW im not dissig AC I own the game it's a good game with a few unforgiving flaws

@MK_Red:
That's because nowadays Nintendo is DESPERATE about third party support. They were in the last position before the DS and the Wii came out, they had like zero support from third parties.
(with the word "that" I am refferring to the absence of the quality seal, not to the game)

Good point BubyDudy.
3rd party hasn't made a really good games aside from Zack & Wiki which didn't sell and even others faild aside from Ubisoft's launch titles and only best selling Wii games are 1st parties like Wii Play, Mario and such.

You guys just don't know (and don't gonna want to) those crap homemade games for the PS2 that you can find in Japan... Now it's all coming to Wii, so no, this isn't the worse console game even of this year.
One thing is right in this, Sony have the last gen on the amount and variability of games, but then Sony have many third party support, Nintendo don't have any choose but allow any developer to feed it's library, since it's not porn or AO or... you get it.

Actually, the Nintendo seal of quality is representative of a time when Nintendo didn't want a lot on their console. I would go so far as yo argue that if Nintendo did weed out games like this, it would be a return to the dark ages and we would all be sitting around criticizing them.
So no, I don't think it's Nintendo's fault. Crap comes out for all 3 consoles, and considering the consequences otherwise, I don't think I'd have it any other way.

That is the problem, while most fanboys fight over 9 score, Nintendo ones fight over 8, 7.5... I really don't give a sh!t for this, if I had the money would have all consoles (who don't?) and probably will get it sometime, since I never been a one-platform-per-generation-on ly guy. But still, i see things in the Wii that I don't like.
The no-love from third parties is one of then. Why? PS3 sells far less still get more supported? Oh yes... Cause you can port games, and Nintendo have decided to tone down it's console to sell cheap, and that is the second thing I don't like, it's just next-gen, but with a experience I can almost see on my PS2 (read careful, i said SEE, not PLAY), and that personally bothers me, I would love Super Mario Galaxy or the already might next Link quest in all HD glory (then again, who don't?) but still, this is just my reason to "badmouth" the Wii, just like I badmouth 360 for hardware low-quality, and PS3 bad library (now it's all right for some time, but I have PS3 since January, I've seen the bad times all this year).
Anyway, back to the point. I think most people bash Wii games cause Wii got itself in GC path. There are HUGE 1st party games, but most crap from 3rd party, and 1st party can't supply us with good games all the year... And the bigger problem is, looks like there is no preoccupation from anybody about that... You don't see Nintendo running on third parties, you don't see third parties getting in Nintendo... Just look at the last Capcom announcements, most games for 360 and PS3.
Still, this game specifically don't is reason to any preoccupation at all... When you sell a lot you get popular, and when you get popular you get also opportunist bad games, that I already have said, was just the same with PS2 in last gen. The real preoccupation is when games that is on "real" next-gens and in the Wii get too different scores, when you see that 3rd parties don't care that much with Wii development, or when even exclusives that would be good, are just gimmicks.
There is another point that I don't like (now that I have get in to it), I can't really play all my favorite games with that Wiimote thing. It's fun for sometime, but after that time, just feels not needed and you want the old gameplay. Then you get a classic controller. It's not a major problem, since there is this classic controller, but still I liked more Sony solution to this one, the actual sensor controller has also all the grip shape (bad for Sony that the sensors are not even far as good or accurate as Wii ones). Still, the remote control format have some advantages, like being more natural for the kind of mini games that we already have in Wii, but still, for most of those isn't exactly my love in, I'm more on a god of war or devil may cry style, but even for those, there is tons of crap gimmicks plastic attachment.
PS: Sorry for the crappy english, no real time to spell check, have to sleep now, chemistry test tomorrow.

12.4 - Well, 12.3
I disagree.
I would say that Zack and Wiki, Metroid Prime 3, and Super Mario Galaxy are all great examples of just how great titles the Wii can be, and how great they can be BECAUSE of motion-sensing.
IMO, the Wii is better for different things. It's not "next-gen" by traditional standards, but without the Wii and its games, first-party or otherwise, I would lose my mind.

So most like you don't disagree... I said Nintendo has huge games and I like motion sensing, I'm just not that right about the remote control format, which is good for some games, but not for the games I real like... And Wii, at least by now, is all to do with 1st party titles. I can't really remember anyone but Zack & Wiki and barely, Resident Evil UC, which looks good, but in-the-rail FPS isn't really my cup of tea...

Well that's the point no one heard about this game so we want to see what makes it so TERRIBLE...the Wii doesn't get a bad rap here..it's just that most ppl here don't care to have conversations about the Wii hence PS3 or 360..and we definetly don't hate the Wii for beign successful we probably hate that the library is sh!t..and that it really isn't doing much good for gaming overal..other than bringing in more casual gamers...and yeah..mini-games...sucks also..
And as I see it all 3 systems are successful already..no-one will fail like last gen ..and you can't say there isn't alot of Nintendo supporters here because im sure alot of ppl here own a DS..and Wii...they jus don't brag about having a Wii simple...I own a DS..it's made by Nintendo right..?

12.8 - @cooke 15
Well, now I get it... But that isn't something anyone could change... I mean, unless you have somewhat a hundred nintendo fervorous supporter friends, with too much free time, and invite they in...
I myself have nothign against Nintendo, even with something which I don't like on Wii, I plan on buy it, I just don't it cause I can't mantain more one console (even if I buy the console, would have problems to buy games, cause I alread support PS3 and PSP). The only Nintendo console that I have skipped was GC, I have the DC, then PS2 and after i choosed between XB and GC, and XB was more different experience than my other two by that time.
On the handheld, I don't really never before looked much on handhelds... Just take a PSP this year, cause I'm in the university now, the same where my sister studies, then I have to wait her (she don't drive) so we can save some money not getting the bus everyday, but for this I have to wait like 2~3 hours everyday, this time free that drived me in handhelds... And choosed a PSP cause it has more os a MP4 functionality and because of remote play with PS3, it has some games that I really coudn't miss also, but game library straigh, DS compensates it on number and the first-party (then again, the same problem) where we have some real good games, and also for Konami's Castlevania that is totally worth the buy of a DS.

I don't think that the lack of 3rd parties support is Wii's fault. It's Nintendo's.
When you design a console and put it in the market it's not just about succeeding. It's also about persuading the consumers that you can make good consoles, that what you make worths it, that you know what to do and when to do it. If consumers are persuaded, 3rd parties can do nothing else but create game for you.
Nintendo lost this suuport/trust, firstly with the N64 and mainly with GC. And now, they are paying the cost of these mistakes. I TOTALLY diagree with those that say "Wii is like GameCube, I see no 3rd party games". Ninty was "lowering" it's 3rd party support with the GC and now they are getting the support back. It's just that they have began from "below zero levels".
Wii is building the support for Ninty's next console...
