Indiana Jones and the Videogame of Questionable Quality
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is an upcoming Wii game that… well, that doesn’t look very good. It’s look like it was made on something between a GameCube and a Nintendo 64, frankly. but since it’s one of the few Indiana Jones games available and lets you use the Wii-mote to swing the whip, one probably can’t say it’s all bad. If you don’t mind using the whip to bring bookcases down on your enemies… and the bookcase falling through your body without a hint of collision detection, that is.
Question — I understand making this game for the Wii, to take advantage of the Wii-mote. But if you’re going to go ahead and make shitty versions of the PSP, PS2 (no typo, the PSfucking2) and the DS, why not make it for, the goddamn Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3? What are you thinking, you imbeciles? Jesus.
