Resident evil 4 gets even better
Pros: new wii controls bring you more into the game, ps2 content for the game cube fans who missed out, it's just more fun on the wii, its only $30, its resident evil 4
Cons: takes geting use to the controls at first, new huge pointer makes it a bit easeyier, no new content, it could of looked better on the wii
When the wii was first annoced back in 05 I was thinking "resident evil 4 would be tottaly awesome on the wii. Well I was real happey to find out capcom was porting it over to the wii. The new wii controls makes it fell even better. Aiming the wii mote like a gun, thats cool. Swinging the wiimote like a knife, and in cutscens thats even cooler. Add to that the ps2 content and all the action and yuo ogt your self a winner. resident evil 4 on the wii is the most action packed game on the wii, and fro olny $30 you really cant go wrong. if you missed out on re4 the first time or just wanna take it up a new leavel like me it's totaly worth it. best version out of all of them ...

a slap dash port that should of been better
Pros: get to have pets and make them how you like, messing with sims is fun at first, wii controls feel nice once you get use to them
Cons: only they are hard to get down, manigeing a sims life is more of a chore than fun, to many things missing from the pc version, it's a last gen game on the current gen system.
now it's nice that EA gave all thoes my sims haters thier "real sims" game. But when it's this badly slaped together you have to ask whats the point? First of all the wii controls are to fussey. You'd think it would be easey but no. Like you mean to move the cammra but you move the curse instead .menues arnt easieyer either, it can be hard to tell what you hilgiht. Manigeing your sims life slowly becomes a chore. Jugling a job, a pet, a soical life, the needs is just to much.Add to that the concept of time is just screwed yp, why dose it take over na houer to eat or 20 minuts just to use the bathroom? Try that with more than one sim and it just gets worse. You cant have kids, you pets cant get jobs, theres limted soical options makeing ineracting with other sims unfun. When you get right down to it sims 2 pets for the wii just isnt much fun. Having to take care of all that stuff is like i said before a chore. it brings up the question why am i palying this chore of a game when I could be palying fun games like wario ware or wii sports? Just waite for my sims. ...

Pok'e mon and RPG fans wont wanna miss this
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: HUGE! adventuer, a roster of over 300 pok'e mon to fight with, 100 new pok'e mon, really vgreat onlnie featuers, time of day and day of the week events, real simple to get into weather your a rpg newbie or pok'e mon master, it's just fun
Cons: dose nothing really new in terms of gamepaly and prestation, still text andno fmv, unless your a pok'e mon master your not really gonna know the streanths and weekness of all pok'e mon
Yes pok'e mon is finaly here on the DS. After being the #1 sellnig ds game in japan we finally get it. While diamond and pearl really do nothing new for the series it's stil lreally fun to paly Theres so much to see and do in this quest. You know what to expect, exploer towns, battel gym leaders, and explore some caves and such, but it's still fun after all thease years. Battels are the same as well only comands can be done via touch screen. Theres online paly now. You can battel and talk with people on your friends list. There even onlnie tradeing. Pok'e mon is an extreamly polished game, but nintendo needs to do something new next time (maybe real time battels?) if you want to blow though the adventuer just to beat it expect a nice l9ong game. But if you wanna be a pok'e mon master it's gonna take a loooooooong time. I been with the series sence red and I have to say this dose not disapoint. ...

wario goes back to paltforming, should he?
Pros: leavles are a good size, the crappy mine games sorta remind me of better games.
Cons: clunkey controls, frustraiteing costume changeing, storey is lame, to much talking, to much back tracking, its way to awakrd to control,tedious mine games,
Nintendo decided that wario should go back to his paltforming days. The wario land series was good but this game just falls flat and sucks on a whole new leavel. The storey is lame and is full of fart jokes, the talknig segments go on to long and really isn't writen any good. The controls here are akward as can be move with d pad or face buttons and do every thing else on the touch screen. Chanbgeing costumes is akward as well the writeing can be unresponsive at times and the more costumes you get the more the game will become more confused. Let me explaine, to do spaceman wairo draw a circal on his head to do another costume draw a circal with a line, or how bout haveing to draw a square on his head with a line. It's to picky and no fun. Theminey games you paly are shaow and wear thin to soon. lets not forget how much backtracking this game puts you though. The game is little fun and a chore to play. Aviod at all cost. ...

The Godfather: The Blackhand Edition Nintendo Wii
Nintendo WiiPrice: $19.99 to $81.61 Compare PricesMarch 31, 2007
A grea action game for the wii
Pros: new controle sceam works out great, lots of new missions,new areas, large new york to explore, missions are large and full of action, extorting stoers is fun
Cons: some times the controles dont respond, mixed AI, driveing takes getting use to, some diffculties with large gun fights,
Godfather comes to the wii and it wants to show that 3rd person action games can be doen. it dose it great but could also use some improveing. THe fighting now involves you swinging the motes, things like punches,headbuts,chokes
, slams, and even throwing around and of corse excutions but usely involves tilnig the wiimote or motes and some times dosent work and can be hard to trigger in heated fights. Aimnnig with the gun can be tricky as well even when useing your hand it takes getting use to but soon you'l lbe busting caps in every mobster that crosses you. The games has basivly 3 mission typs, favore, hit and maine. Theas usely involve 3 things, a shot out, a get away, and shooing while getting away. It's a good thing theas things are fun. missions are alot more drawn out than grandtheft auto usely when you think your done it keeps going (wich can be good or bad) In heated gun fights it can be hard to duck and shoot sence most of the time enameys wil lcome out of no were and kill you with low hits. So perpared to be annoyed. Extorting stoers is fun and usely involves a shoot out with other mobs. Theres a vendeta bar that keeps track of how at peace you are. Get it to high and the mobsters will just shoot at sight or even a mob war but to low wil lcause them not to respect you. The respect metter is nice but hardly used. You can bribe police in this game and they wil lfight on yuor side for a while. But sad thing is your mnoey is hardly used. You can either buy new outfits, safehouses, and bribe police, thats basicly it. You'll have fun and frustration. But mostley fun. ... -

A solid fighter
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: 120 fighters, lots of modes, storey follows the shows, arenas are huge, can be played with the classic controler,rpg elments add more depthtto your chariters,make your own fighter
Cons: steep learning curve, combos involve random button mashing,swing the wiimote and analog stick,its akward at first, uneven diffculty on storey mode,a lot of the fighters fell the same
The first fighter to grace the wii mis a solid one. Now you won't be waveing your arms like fist like many think,instead it's mostley buttons or some waveing of the wiimote. Not to say theres no movement of the arms to do powerfull attacks you take your arms back (while holding the z and b) and move them forward to the screen. it's a little akaward at first doing this along with figuering out the combos (even thoe there is a list) Storey mode follows the tv shiows so fans will love that. But the map travel seems out of place and reminds me of the bad DBZ sagas. Theres tornments and a rip off of the ol Mortal Kombat tower game. You can unlock upgrades and idomes for your chariters make them seem less diffrent. So if your looknig for a fighter this will do good but keep in mind Mortal Kombat hits stores in April so if your not a DBZ fan give it a rent. ...

A far cry from far cry
0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: shooting and lots of it, controls make cleaver use of the wii mote, but
Cons: is more frustraiteing than easey at times, AI is busted, graphics are weak, no online, just 2 player,recyceld content from the other far cry on xbox
The idea of far cry on the Wii is a goodo one. Nintendo consoles havent had a chance to have a tittle as big like far cry. This one how ever is no wear near the Far cry we all know and love. First of all the AI is busted, worst than Red Steel. Enameys will run into walls, stay out in the open. Controles don't work out for every thing. Aiming and changeing weapons is easey but in the mix of battel you can easey mix up motions leading to your death. The island is just recycled content from the 2 Xbox ones, so needless to say this island is boring (it was better in xbox) The graphics are bad they look Game Cube. it looks cartooney nothing like the vived realistic xbox/pc. Finaly there is no online, what made Far Cry so great is not here. Just 2 player. Far Cry could of been a good game if ubisoft gave it more time. instead we have to wonder what could of been. Go get Call of dutey 3 or rent Red Steel. ...

Follows lord of the rings, but not as good
Pros: Drop in and out multi player, Visits some locations from the book, combat is fun at first and has some cool moves
Cons: fighting grows tiersom quickly, bad hitdectshion, cammra,no online play, the cammra,to short, zero repaly value, bad editing on storey
Eragon would seems like a cool game.But Vindey games rushed the Console versions. The storey had a bad editing job. The book is long and some things had to go but whats here dosent give the full sotrey. The combat system here as they say "deep and upgradeable" is fun at first but grows stale quickly and dosent saty fresh like Lord of the rings two towers. The AI here is a mixed bag your allies will often be doing stupid things and some times your enameys will too. The cammra will often go away from the action leaveing you to guss what your doing. The dragon rideing leavels are a mess. The onraile cammra gives no clue when it's gonna turn often leading you to run into something, and a lot of the time you'll take damige even thoe you hit nothing. The game is short and offers no repaly value. You can paly 3 palyer even on the drafgon rideing leavels but unless your a huge fan wanting to see this book come alive rent it or check out the GBA version. In fact just go play it on the GB. ...

Want to do chores for ants?
Pros: follows the movie,and theres a big world to explore, but
Cons: the movie's storey was poor to begine with,the open world is dull,the missions repat and are mostly featch quest,combat is shallow,wii featers are tacked in,it's just a port of the game cube version, no fun at any point
Remember the ant bully? the bad film that hit during the summer that tried to sucker the kids and you to so see it with it's all star cast and the promis of ants. Well the even worse game now seeks more victoms as the ant bully comes to the wii. This adventuer games first mistake was comeing out on the same system as Zelda TP. The main storey has a kid srunk down by ants now he is thier slave.he has to find food,rescue little ants, and battle giant bugs. Dosent that sound more fun than exploreing giant dougens and battleing shadow monsters? The combat is even worse. it dosent but good use to the wii mote like Zelda did. The big world pails in comparisen to Zelda as well in size and envierment. Finding you way out of the ant hill after every mission is a fight all its own. So any thing nice to say about this game? it makes the GBA one look good and it's not. Don't get suckerd into this game. ...

Like liveing bad bad mtv reailty show
Pros: everything is a bit fun at first, if your a loser you could see what a fun life is like, lots of people to talk to,
Cons: emo music is bad, charicters are just sterotyps, conversations are shallow as is everything else, it becomes unfun fast
If you want an action game you really cant go wrong with Konomie, but if you want a simlation game your best to stick with EA and the sims. in this bland teen srama you paly a new student in some horrid school infested with jsut sterotyps and bad emo music palying through out. Now i'll admit it was a bit fun at first. But it faded fast. Conversations just boil down to agree or repeat what the person just said converstations repeat over and over it just gets tiering.Relationships dont have a real feal to them either due to the repeating dialog. There is jobs and classes you have to jugel but all this amounts to is gonig up to the desk or object and pressing the action button. You can go on dates but they seem scripted, the date could go perfictley, you can ace the makeing out miney game only to have her bail on you. This game could of been fun but was made by people who knew no better, just stick with sims 2 on the pc. ...
