Here's the DS preview as well:
http://ds.ign.com/articles/802/802584p1.html


The Amaze Entertainment-developed DS offering doesn't utilize the handheld's D-Pad or buttons. Instead, all of the on-screen actions are executed with a stylus. Everything. In other words, the button-mashing that you may have relied upon all these years -- it's gone. This dramatically changed control scheme makes possible and strictly restricts you to a new style of play. You no longer have direct control of your wrestler. The brawls begin from a melee standpoint and the wrestlers automatically shift around the ring depending on the moves you perform. And to deal out bone-crunching blows and roll into special moves, you quickly tap on-screen icons tiled around your competition and then you draw simple stylus squiggles to send the maneuvers into motion. Buh?

Wow, the wrestlers look so crisp and just...awesome. I just wish Yukes would spend more time on animation and physics though :(

Is the Wii game made by another company? Looks like a different style...

As soon as I saw that Orton screenshot, I had his theme music blaring in my head. Tell me I'm not the only one.

The marketing department and the developers are playing a joke on us.

There's no way they can't see how these screens look.

Crowd is wearing the same stuff...

I can't fault the modeling and texturing, but man these guys gotta look at a WWE broadcast and get a clue.

The lighting is all weird. I haven't seen a game with a look that matches a broadcast ever, but I can't put my finger on why.

I've been brightening up these pics in photoshop and they look a whole lot better. But still, there's some odd lightsource from the side...

There has to be some Graphic Whore QA Contract Team that points these things out...heck, I should start one. Who's with me?
