I agree Doctor Who is a family show, but it doesn’t need to be dumbed down for the games. As I’ve said before on this topic, a considerable amount could be done with Doctor Who, it just needs the right developers and the right console.

Lastly, it’s a shame this has taken this long to happen. If this Wii game is to feature Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor, it could suggest any others may follow that. Fair enough, you might think, he is the Doctor now, but I think they’ve waited too long. The only game David Tennant, one of the most popular Doctors there have been, had to his name is Top Trumps, it’s kind of embarrassing, and here they may be giving the new, currently untested, boy a multi-platform deal.

Saying that, I accept he’s the Doctor now, and that he’ll be proven in time so I’ll be willing to keep an eye on developments and see what happens, it just seems like they’re shooting themselves in the foot a bit going with the 11th Doctor, a Doctor with zero personal history at this point with the only thing to draw on being his previous lives.

Still, we’ll see.
