All-Console Avatar Showdown

360, Wii and PS3's Home battle to create the best everything, EVER

Words: Chris Antista, GamesRadar US

360: Just adorable! Who wouldn’t vote for that kid?

Wii: Surprisingly great. Eyes and cheekbones are perfect. This man will rule the land, not with an iron fist, but with an obsidian ball!

PS3: Pretty great, given that Home refuses to let anybody stoop below making an Abercrombie model, thus no suits allowed! Every measure was taken to add facial aging lines, but Home-bama still looks straight out of a Target advert.

Winner: Wii

360: Daymn! McCain looks like he rode the crest of his election loss straight into P. Diddy’s entourage.

Wii: If Johnny Mac has one defining attribute, it’s his bamboo press-on nails. Too soon? It’s actually his adorably bulbous cheeks, most evident in his Mii.

PS3: Sincere apologies to Senator McCain! Every Home avatar must be Vogue-ready, so his famous half-hair style was not an option. And with no suits or ties, we tried to encapsulate the man’s legacy with a military jacket... only to end up with this Darth Vader/Dr. Moreau hybrid.

Winner: Wii

360: Not so presidential, more like a retired Leisure Suit Larry.

Wii: Appears as if he’s been asked a question he can’t answer... yep, that’s The Dub!

PS3: Passable, if you consider it an older picture of an Ivy League prick.

Winner: Wii

360: Captures the spirit of the exuberant enchantress that nearly stole the election. But there’s still something missing.

Wii: Better, but a little more librarian and less Hockey MILF.

PS3: A former beauty queen... but once those HD cameras started rollin’ all the makeup in Miami couldn’t hide the fact that the lady had a neck like a dinosaur’s taint. Accurate, but this isn’t how we want to remember the greatest politician of our time.


Above: Look what Palin’s tailin’!

Winner: Wii

360: A cooler, hipper version of the Fuhrer... should he ever need to skew to a younger demo? Unsurprisingly, the famous facial hair is not an option, but the Double Chaplin is a nice evolution.

Wii: How the hell is the Wii version the most menacing?

PS3: Just silly. Looks more like Snidely Whiplash than the cruelest dictator to ever live.

Winner: Wii

Ps3 is the clear winner cant wait for home. All im going to do is hide in bushes and jump out, dressed like a twat and dance around unsuspecting victims.

That Whoopie Home version looks a lot like Jennifun from LoveMeet.net in GTA IV.

@Trlp13G
That's a good memory you got there.

The videogame characters in home all look like old, retired versions of themselves.

Great article and I lol'ed when the PS3 only had 3 wins.

@PixelSly- Pwned.

In my opinion, the Wii should have one only two or three comparisons. That's just my opinion, however. Home/PS3 would be the best if more options were available. Oh, and PixelSly...
You got owned!

I'm sorry, but Home characters look hideous... 'specially Harry Potter. *shivers*

My Mario, Hank and Harry potters look better on the Wii. I did a bad ass Conan too but my 360 one looks better.

Hank Hill's ain't a Hillbilly you yuppie leftist pinko westerners. I guess Steven Jobs and Ryan Seacrest are good types for y'all?

What was the Joke on the Mii Link?

I think the 360 should've won, but still the Wii and 360 had better avatars then the crap the PS3 had...anyway i still say avatars are stupid. WE GOT THOSE CONSOLES TO PLAY GAMES NOT MAKE STUPID AVATARS

The top on the Home John McCain reminds me of Fatman from MGS2
