Wii has a lot of "horsepower under the hood" says Scarface dev

In support of Wii's technical ability, Geoff Thomas, producer at Radical Entertainment told CVG that Nintendo's console can pack a fair punch in the graphical department.

Speaking about his latest project, Scarface: The World is Yours, being reworked for Wii, Thomas said: "The Wii has a lot of horsepower under the hood and we're making full use of it.

"We've overhauled our graphics engine to get the most out of the console by updating all of the shaders responsible for rendering the environment, vehicle, and characters. In many ways Scarface looks sharper on the Wii than it does on the PS2 and Xbox."

Many gamers have expressed concerns over the visual quality of the current run of Wii games which look no better than GameCube games.

It's true that some Wii games have been visually underwhelming, but having played Super Mario Galaxy with its awesome textures and large, detailed worlds, we're certain the Wii's full potential is yet to be unlocked.

The motion-controlled Wii version of Scarface: The World is Yours is due to hit shops in Summer.

I thought GameCube was already better than PS2... A turbo GameCube, like Wii, would be for sure even better!

But it's good to know we can expect more from the machine.
