@Renrawr Really? I didn't know.
 
Sounds kinda wonky to me. Maybe it's just bad voice acting, or a weak accent.

Mechanically looks like the old PoPs. I know 12 year old graphic whores will miss the "press forward to win" version but I'm cool with this. For people who have standards about the game part of the game and not just how it looks, this version of the game could deliver.

Super cliche holy music found in all trailers to build excitement juxtaposed to...well Wii visuals. I'm not going to lie but I laughed.

I went back and watched this again to see if I missed something to explain the graphic's hate. 
 
Nope, I don't get it at all. This looks good.

God this game is ugly. What the hell are developers doing? Do they WANT to make the Wii look bad? The Wii is capable of so much more then this. HAve you seen Super Mario Galaxy? If it wasn't for Mario I would think that games was running on a 360.

Looks enjoyable to me. Far from original, but the 360 and ps3 version doesnt seem to be either.

Holy Crap you guys are viscous. i thought this actually looked interesting. and other than the floating ball shield that the prince was in the game play was EXACTLY THE SAME as the original PoP scenes. wall running, strike plates, balancing, etc. In fact i thought that everything looked cool until the floating ball, which looked awkward. and i can tell that none of you like the wii(indeed, i dont even own one) so who cares. this game will probably be pretty decent and wii owners can have a slice of the PoP pie.

That was the same guy who did the Prince in the Sands of Time, so it hopefully won't be all that bad.
 
He also did Sandal in Dragon Age.

Going on the wish list. 
Need to find out more about the different versions before I decide what platform to pick it up for though. 
Also, I haven't played my PoP 2008 (360) yet.

That's what I never understand about these shit-looking Wii games that continue to come out.  The gamecube had some truly beautiful games, and many of them hold up well even today.  The Wii is supposedly more powerful...why shouldn't every Wii game look at least as good as the best GCN game?  The mind boggles.

Wait, is this a totally different game from the 360 and PS3 versions? Cause that actually looks cooler than anything they've showed of the other versions.

Kinda sucks they don't follow the 2008 PoP storyline and art style. And it's all just because of the movie which will probably suck as well, just like most of the game adaptations. On the other hand, the game itself might be fun as usual with Prince of Persia titles.

being accustomed to HD graphics doesn't means you can't enjoy SD graphics, which is what it sounds like you think i mean

Looks great for Prince of Persia fans.
 
However, I am actually more excited for the movie of the game. Which is very ironic.

The combat looks a bit better then 360/PS3 version, but the game looks pretty mediocre up close... 
Kind of interested, doesn't look half ass.

Honestly, the Wii and the last gen of video games (PS2/GC/Xbox1) are all good-looking video games.  They may not be all HD-ified to "SUCK YOU IN TO THE WORLD IT'S LIKE YOU'RE LIVING THERE, LOOK AT THIS GRASS TEXTURE" but as pure games, they can work magnificently.  Sometimes abstraction is nice; I don't need to see every pore of this guy's body.
 
who am I kidding, we should all bitch until Namco puts out Pac-Man World 4, where every time a ghost is eaten you see the gnashing of teeth and the mixture of blood and saliva in all its high-definition glory.  I mean, I want to play some Pac-Man, but I ain't no gay!!!!!!!  >:D

I keep forgetting that the Wii is supposedly more powerful than Gamecube or Xbox1. Why does it seem like only Nintendo and a handful of other games actually make games look better than previous Gen? Galaxy / MHTri should be the norm, not the exception!

Wow, this looks pretty cool, and I lol'd that the prince's face looks better in this version than the PS3/360 versions. 
 
If they're different enough I might even get both.

Art direction looks a bit off in this game. Well at least they built it from the ground up for the wii so perhaps it will turn fine.
