Nope.  You are the single person in the world who thinks that.  To tell the truth I thought that Rogue Squadron 3 was the only game safe from the graphics whores.  I guess I was wrong.  

When photorealistic graphics just aren't enough anymore...  *sigh*

Umm...  thats the same trailer they have on the demo disc.

I liked the graphics in hoth and the flying scenes they looked on par with rebel squadron 2.

But, come on!  You actually dug the speeder bike graphics?  The trees looked like brown piles of dung flying by.

The character animations of the foot missons looked awfull as well.  They we running around like something was stuck up their arses.

I dunno guess Prime spoiled me, and I was looking for a more dramatic improvement over the RS2.  Which I guess is pretty hard, because the graphics were really good in it.

The trees look like trees, with leaves.  What more are you asking for?  They look remarkably like California Redwood trunks, except for the fern-like branches.  How the hell do you expect tall, skinny, brown-barked trees to look?  Metroid Prime's trees looked like cardboard covered with Play-doh, but they were "artistically" nice, but not nearly on the same realistic calibur as Rebel Strike's.  Prime as a whole wasn't in the same ballpark with Rogue Leader's model complexity.  If you were spoiled by anything, it was the pretty colors.

This looks very similar to a redwood forest, not a dung forest, and Luke looks like he's riding a flying ant.

Character animations do look strange.  It's a new thing for Factor5 to try.

And the last game was called Rogue Squadron II, not rebel squadron 2.

Dude, all I can say is that these people are right.  RS3 looks absolutely fricken' amazing.  Personally, I think that comment about the graphics being "unimpressive" was possible the dumbest thing I have heard all day.

and no, I am not polite

Ok, if you drive, go out into a forest with your car and start driving really fast down the road. Then look out the window to your side. What do you see? Flying dung is what you see. At that speed, anything that is brown is going to look like flying dung. While you are doing that, try to keep your eyes on the road. One addition I would really like in the game would be when you shot down fighters, that they sometimes should distinegrate piece by piece. Wreakage flying everywhere styles like in the PC/MAC game X-Wing. A SSD level would be sweet.

I thought RS3 looked pretty good, I wished I could find a GC demo up for grabs. I've tried Target here in Ocala, FL but no one ever has any idea, As well as walmart and EB which can't give any unless you buy a new gamecube. That really ticks me off, especially people who are in these departments know absolutely nothing about games or anything at all for that matter.

Nintendo should give those thing's out, especially for those who already brought the Cube at launch at midnight at walmart "Me" I want to try Viewtiful Joe and SC2 along with Billy Hatcher and DL some of those games to my GBA would be nice.

"sigh" Nintendo Let anyone get the demos.... Please!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm just jumping at shadows, but I'ver heard a lot of rumours on some other boards that there are some secrets on the demo disc. Something about unlocking another level for Billy Hatcher, I dunno. Do any of you know about this? Oh, and F-Zero looks incredible!

Here's my story. First I went to KB Toys and the lady behind the counter said she has none but she didn't even bother to check. I went to EB and they refused to sell it to me. I went to EBX and they didn't have any either. Then I went to FYE and asked the lady behind the counter and she said she didn't have any and she didn't check either. I was really mad and really dissapointed and bummed out because that was the last electronic sotre in our mall. I was leaving FYE when I look on the new titles rack in front of the store and there was 2 copys of the demo disc! It was my happiest moment in a long time. Me and my best friend bought the game and then we went back to EB and flashed the demo discs in their faces. HA HA HA. You should have seen the look on there face. I still feel bad though, for people who haven't got the disc. Nintendo's screwing thing's up and they better get their act together.

Yeah, all you do is hold A during the title screen until the first level appears, and it should be different.  

But really, can anyone get enough of Viewtiful Joe?  I don't think I could count how many times I've played through that one.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

I had enough of Splinter Cell the moment Sam-Fish refused to grab onto the little shade/overhang thingies that were all over the insertion zone.  Climb up the building, jackass!  For a black ops agent, I wonder why he was standing in the alley ever-so-conspicuously like that in the first place.
