So it wasn't ugly as sin. It's just that your TV sucks. (Or doesn't.) Nyaa

Rented Goldeneye Reloaded for PS3, and I played through the first couple levels. Graphically, it's looks a lot better, but not as good as most 360/PS3 games these days. Spotting enemies in darker areas is easier thanks to the resolution boost; That was my main complaint regarding the Wii version. Otherwise, the content appears to be mostly the same as the Wii version, with a few subtle things changed here and there. Controls are a bit better thanks to the DS3. It's certainly the better version of the game.

I probably should clarify that. When I said the DS3 controls were "a bit better", I meant in comparison to the Wii Classic Controller Pro. DS3 has more buttons, which makes it a bit easier to use. However, both the DS3 and CC Pro are a LOT better than the IR/waggle controls. Nyaa

Been trying to nail down why Reloaded is worse than the Wii game. Looked at a lot of reviews. One review said it was because of the dual analogue controls. People online told me the AI was too dumb and levels were spatially alterted.

Gaming Nexus said:

Some gun reload animations are changed for no apparent reason; weapon placements in levels are different; guards are intermittently more or less intelligent than they were before, occasionally throwing the stealth balance off or making combat too easy.


That last one really threw me; in the Wii version I’d use stealth as much as possible, especially on the harder difficulties, because detection meant a heavily-armed attack squad would show up and hand 007 his perfectly formed ass. Conversely, all I needed to do in the 360 version is hunker down and pick off enemies as they marched right into my bullets. It also seemed easier to just sprint back and forth during a shootout, going on a melee-palooza that would’ve gotten me ventilated in the Wii version.

AI.

Some questionable artificial intelligence and AWOL time trial mode.

Gametrailers said:

PlayStation Move support works well, but it isn’t quite up to par with the Wii controls, lacking motion-based melee attacks and the ability to lean around corners. Reloaded’s biggest issue, however, is the huge drop in difficulty. Gunfights that involved careful use of cover and watching your flank are now just a matter of running through and dropping everyone in sight. The AI hardly seems to fight back, and the few difficulty spikes that do come are simply a matter of overwhelming numbers.

In all, GoldenEye 007 Reloaded is a surprising step back for a game that we thoroughly enjoyed on Wii. Much of what it made it great hasn’t changed, but the minor extras and improved visuals come at the price of online frustration and gunplay that’s undeniably dumbed-down.

Wow, first time a Wii game was dumbed down for HD consoles?
