So I can put a 360 disc in my Wii and I'll play the 360 version? Awesome!
Oh wait, I can't. And I don't have a 360. So Wii is my only option and I'm content with that. I don't expect HD graphics and I don't want to read in every review how the graphics get a 4 for not being HD.

Oh so you do agree with us.

KG, if no other PS2 shooter had a quick save function and No One Lives Forever was a great game, it's pathetic it received a 4.

If however the PC game was ONLY good because of the quick save function... then yeah give the score that it deserves.
