Don't touch Farcry and The Godfather is more like GTA (not an FPS, but with some cool shooting at times). Go with COD3, but if you don't like short games then pick up Red Steel (not quite as good but still fun).

Id go for the godfather. I think its the best game out on the wii right now. Ive played it for roughley 23 hours and ive passed about 45% of the game, so its bound to last you a while for your dollar.

This and zelda would easly make up the games to OWN right now.

redsteel is pretty damn good. great graphics - some nice lighting effects.  new and easy to use controls,  great accuracy, 4 huge multiplayer maps.  only 4, but they are real big.  to be honest, this is the game that made me buy a wii.  it wasn't zelda, i bought wii for redsteel.  i really don't know why ppl bash it soo much....my guess is that they rn't used to the new fps controls, they suck at them, can't learn them b/c of their lower iq..and there bash since its their way of dealing with their loss.  i wish it was online..that way i could smoke some of these 'cock-a-roaches'.

Well considering I beat the game perfectly fine with no control problems, and I have an IQ of 130, I think it's safe to say that Red Steel sucked because of the noticable glitches and the horrible, horrible sword actions.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't recommend any FPS for the Wii as they are rather clunky and lacking when it comes to controls. Of course, The Godfather isn't really a FPS, so it doesn't really count, but if you like GTA styled games then it is the game for you. I had fun playing it, though I only played for about 30 minutes. COD3 was okay at best, it is better played on the 360 as the multiplayer is excellent, and it is missing on the Wii version. Overall though, its about what you want to play, so honestly I would rent these games, try them, and if you like them pick them up used at EB or your local gaming shop, they are bound to be about 25-30 dollars used now.

If you found the controls clunky then you obviously had control problems, I personally find the Wiimote& Nunchuk set up in Red Steel faster and more accurate than a mouse and keyboard. It's a slightly better than average game overall IMO, but the controls a great.

If you want an FPS either COD 3 of Vanguard, because both are proven franchises that will probably offer the best experience. Is The Godfather even an FPS?

IMO, there aren't any FPS's out that are really worth their purchase price. But hey, different stokes for different folks.

Yeah, You should wait for MP# and get it at release. But in the meantime, I've played all of those games except Godfather (supposed to be good and I believe it but not FPS) And I decided only to buy Vanguard. Vanguard is the best one though Red Steel is okay and Farcry just stay away from. COD3 is fine too, but MOH: Vanguard is best because first, it's a Medal Of Honour game, second, the controls are pretty good after you get used to them, third, it's about the same length of COD3 I think but has more replay value and finally, it has multiplayer that's prett good. And for they guy whose name I don't know who recommended Vanguard, You're awesome! Your one of the only people I've seen on Gamespot other than me that recommended it!

I also enjoyed RED STEEL but it was not perfect. I'm hoping for a RED STEEL 2. I think Vanguard was to short, finished it real quick (weekend). Farcry is not perfect either but I still playing it so it's not that bad, but definitly try and get on sale or used. BRING ON MORE FPS :)

red steel has awesome gunplay imo, i never had any serious problems with the controller, i dont know what all the reveiwers talk about when they say the controls are non-responsive, but the sword fighting is 100% suck, its not fun at all, and the game at times drags on a little bit at times

OMG I wish for Geist 2, Metal Arms 2, and Timesplitters 4. They would be the best games ever.

And if you wanna wait 15 days, RE4 Wii edition comes out, June 19. I'm buying it along and I have the GC version.
