broodwars, almost all Wii screen shots are pixelized crap. That actually looks pretty decent, at least as far as the enemy armor goes.
Actually, I was looking at the environmental geometry. I've come to expect Wii screenshots to be pixelated, so I wasn't surprised to see it here.

yeah that environment was crap, lol maybe i should apply to high voltage
Don't take this the wrong way, but are you trying to say that you could do better or that you could do no worse?

keep in mind the guy who built this level works for Sony now on the God of War series.
to this gen Wii game, but these are early screens...however this is a sequel. Early screens should look better than the last game.

now to be fair there are no models in the ED screenshot, but there are models when you do play the game
