A distinct lack of rainbows and sweetness in thirty new screens of Godfather: Blackhand Edition.

Godfather got mixed reviews on other formats, but is coming to the Wii next month in a sort of expanded edition. Naturally, we're got some new motion-based controls too, so you can beat up rivals that bit more naturally. Lots of new screens below, of an unsurprisingly violent nature.

I could've sworn those were PSX textures. I'm not a big GF fan myself, but this looks like garbage.

Always nice to see people beating other people whilst wearing a suit, or at least a shirt and tie. Makes it so much more special.

I'm really having a hard time believing the Wii is "a little more" powerful than an Xbox. Almost every single game I've seen so far has graphics that make the Gamecube look like CGI.

I wonder if Manhunt will look as rubbish as this one.

One thing you keep forgetting is the majority of the honestly bad looking games are little more than PS2 ports with wii control tacked on, and you wonder why they look so bad? I also get the feeling companies are focussing so much on trying to develop for the control scheme that they simply aren't paying the games any visual attention. Just look at top draw games like mario galaxy, smash bros, metroid or sonic.. these games easily look xbox good. There's hope for manhunt 2 as it's being developed by a dedicated team from a company who actually puts effort in.

Dont worry about this game looking bad, the xbox360 version looks just as poor, worse in fact because it has a higher resolution with low polygon count sprites. If this game was made for xbox and above then the wii version would look a lot better, ports to more powerfull consoles always suffer.

The graphics look very nice in motion though I won't be getting this. According to factor 5 the wii can do much better graphics than what we've seen, it's just developers are being sloppy and aren't putting enough effort into squeezing as much power out of the wii as they can. And while manhunt 2 has a lot of potential don't bet on it looking good Reynard because rockstar/take2 have always made bad looking games, you say the put effort in but I have yet to see any evidence of that. All their games (gta included) have been jaggy bug-ridden sloppy excuses for games and I can't see them changing any time soon. I think they should've waited a couple of generations for a console powerful enough to handle a game like gta before they made it.

Honestly, this game could look better, but as Reynard said, this is just a PS2 port. We've seen better, but let's look at it in the way that's logical. It takes less time to map a control onto a game than it does create a new graphical system. If this game was due to go onto Xbox 360/PS3, we would see higher end graphics. Thats why Manhunt 2 is looking good. It's being developed for PS3, Wii and PSP.

Manhunt 2 is being developed for Wii, PSP and PS2, not PS3! So, Im' sorry but it will probably be a PS2 port. Thank God if it's not a PSP port actually! But yes, Rockstar is a talented team, on par with Retro and old good Rare, so I'm keeping an eye on the game.

In fact I wish that PS2 dies soon, so we won't get any more PS2 ports.

Im glad Wii is getting this game and manhunt 2 of course. Those who think this is the best Wii can do are surely mistaken.

Are we destined for 5+ years of PS1 graphics? Hopefully by 2008, we'll get better looking and playing games than the REJECT material that Wii is currently getting...

It seems likely that we'll have to endure 5+ years with PS1-graphics. Or, maybe not? I mean, if Nintendo surpasses the sales of that of 360 by a large margin, then it will be impossible to make underdeveloped games for Wii. After all, people don't mind shiny graphics.

Honestly they look like crap. The Wii is not as powerful as its competitors, we know that, but it is a hell lot more powerful than the first Xbox at least. Third party companies are lazy and then complain why their games do not sell as well as the first party ones.
