Any character not named Sam Fisher is rather ugly, with very little facial detail and awful hair. That just can’t be ignored in the plentiful pre- and post-mission cutscenes, most of which suffer from rampant distracting screen tearing in the 360 and PS3 versions and framerate stuttering on the Wii U (Speaking of the Wii U, you're able to quick-select gadgets and weapons on the GamePad. It's quicker than the "hold the D-pad" method required on the 360 and PS3). Out on missions the environments look adequate, but Blacklist fails to impress, let alone dazzle.

 

Interesting... :)

ugh.... the hope of watch_dogs being anything better than a crappy xbox 360  and ps3 port is dwindling. I thought the WiiU version of this game was supposed to be the best looking(aside for PC) with improved lighting and stuff?  -.-

Kotaku doesn't think it is very good at all.

Reviews are saying the multiplayer is pretty good, I was getting the WiiU version but as the multiplayer has been cut from this version, i won't bother buying it at all now, i have W101 & GTA5 coming.

That is a damn good question. I was wondering that myself.

If a Wii U only game had the same negatives it would certainly not get a 9.2...

But maybe I am just paranoid.

Carry on.

But it seems it's only for in the cutscenes (or i am reading it wrong).
 

But indeed, they said the Wii U version would have better lighting and stuff.

I'll be getting the Wii U version (when I get one; next time I go to Best Buy). This will be my first Splinter Cell game, and some framerate issues and no local co-op won't bother me. (Snake Eater 3D is my favorite game on the 3DS, and that game's framerate could go to hell sometimes) Besides, the framerate in the launch Wii U ports were overexaggerated IMO. The only game that I noticed it when they weren't on the 360 version was Batman Arkham City.

Ya it seems like its gonna be that way. Its really a shame, I was hoping for at least a step better than 360/ps3. I guess we will see in the next few months. I guess this why they didn't show any footage of the wiiu version for this game, and the same thing is happening with the wiiu version of watchdogs.

I'm glad Ubisoft is still making effort for the Wii U! Best version!

They should have said that as a reply to why they didn't include local multiplayer. "Wii U version is still the best, we used the time and effort to put in good uses of the gamepad instead of adding local MP". Something like that.
