So, Black Ops will be out in a few days. I own a Wii (and my computer is to slow to run Black Ops), and now I'm wondering if it would be worth buying it. I know that the Wii is not quite a console for FPSs, but I've played the Wii version of Modern Warfare, and it works better than expected. So, Black Ops on Wii. Worth it or not? And please, don't make this a ''Wii sucks get a PlayStation!'' topic. Thanks.

get it on steam. It'd be cheaper and PC's the best console.

I know the PC is the best option for games like this, but my PC doesn't have the right specs to properly play it. It is 8 years old and completely outdated, not to mention that my internet connection sucks, so I would barely be able to play online. I'd get it on PC, but I'd need a new one for that.

Well I like the Wii and all but its not worth it really. Just get another console, better PC then get the game. - Graphics aren't the best - Wiis online suck. No chat, no IDs.. wii friend codes If you don't care about the above, just buy it

Well, if I'd buy, say, a PlayStation, the only reason to get one would be Black Ops. Not worth it for me :/ I know Wii graphics aren't fantastic, but as a Nintendo-gamer I'm kind of used to that, and trailers so far look pretty good anyways. The online playerbase is kinda good (for Modern Warfare it was, at least), and well, I'll have to deal with friend codes. I don't care about voice chat. So far it's 1 against 4. Help guys, I need reasons to buy the game (or not, of course) :O

An average PC costs about $1000 - actually if you get the parts yourself, it would be quite decent. Better that than spending money on a console imo. (Especially since you can play heaps of games on PC and have to buy each game for console (unless you hack). Plus the experience won't be as enjoyable unless you have a good TV.

Release date out here in the Netherlands is either 10 or 11 November, I think. Anyways, if I'd get another console I'd be a PS3 (quite some friends have one too), but the cheapest one is like �300, which is not worth it. My current PC suffices for everything I wanna do, except gaming maybe, but getting a new one wouldn't be worth it for me. That leaves me at the Wii. I looked up some previews, and everything looks pretty good - Treyarch has an independent Wii-team working on it, and is discussing better only functions (no friend codes :D) with Nintendo, so things look quite ok...

Well the wii version is supposed to have almost everything the other versions have including a headset. So, why not.

Past Wii Call of Dutys' like Reflex and World at War have been pretty balanced. It didn't include things that other consoles had, like extreme conditioning.
