Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii) is an 'ok' game.

Advantages: Lots of sports, can play with balance board, ability to play with a mii, dream events are fun.
Disadvantages: No real story, Balance Board controls poorly on most mini-games, might get boring quickly.

First off, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is yet another mini-game collection. The Wii has seen a large amount of these types of games lately, so if yet another one is going to appear on the Wii, it had better be a good one. And that's the problem with this particular game. In no way is this game terrible, but it isn't that remarkable either. If it released on another console i might have been a bit more forgiving, however on a console ...
...bobsleighs down hills in the Mario universe. The only other noticeable things different in dream events is that you can collect power-ups and then press the (B) button to use them. It is of course also possible to play using the Wii balance board, although it feels like it was added as an afterthought as playing with it is fairly difficult. If you are going to get this game purely for the Balance Board support (like i did), then DON'T. The controls ...

Review of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games (Wii)

The easy way to appear on TV!

Advantages: You can workout without using the remote all the time
Disadvantages: It is quite pricey because of the camera

...would appeal to me. Your Shape describes itself as 'fitness focused on you' and the pack comes complete with a little camera which they claim 'scans your body, detects your movement and makes exercise 100% controller free'. It sounded good to me and was available from Amazon for £38.99 so I thought it would make an interesting early Christmas present from me to me! Out of the box This product is made by Ubisoft and licensed by Nintendo. As ...
...that fits on to of your TV. The camera has a USB connection which just plugs into the back of the Wii Console (the console needs to be powered off when you plug it in) and apart from that it needs no other setting up to speak of. Just load the disc into the console and away you go. Getting to know the software It is all very simple indeed. First you need to feed in some basic details about yourself, name, height and weight and then the camera ...

Review of Your Shape (Wii)

Celebrity or not, what does it matter?

Advantages: exciting, unique, quite cheap
Disadvantages: /

...the fact that it was celebrity based - there seemed to be a few sports that I hadn't come across on other games, and with the added star aspect, I was sure it was going to be entertaining! Now the packaging itself as well is also a seller - a bright and attractive cover with cartoon pictures of various celebrities in their sports gear. On the back, different sporting activities are highlighted, and it certainly looked unique! I couldn't wait to try. ...
...simple task, and select which celebrity you want to be. Since the game is American, there are none of our adored British celebs to choose from. Though you do have the likes of LeAnn Rhymes, Avril Lavigne, Fergie, Nelly Furtardo among others that are quite well known in the UK. Okay so they are not the most exciting of celebrities, but I suppose the game cannot cater for everybody! You can then take your celebrity and battle against other computer-generated ...

Review of Celebrity Sports Showdown (Wii)

Very good wii game!

Advantages: very fun, good graphics, good sound quality, drag races
Disadvantages: only manual control

I got this game about 2 days ago and i love it! Very good graphics and sound quality. the thing i didnt like about this game is that you have to manually switch gears and it is quite difficult when in the middle of a race, i have looked everywhere on this game for an option to change it to automatic but there isn't any. This would be something to consider before purchasing this game. Another thing i would recommend getting before you purchase this ...
...it is quite difficult to control without it. A good thing that i like about this game is the drag races which are races on straight tracks and all you have to do is switch gears at the right time and try and beat your opponent to the finish line. I would DEFINITELY recommend this game to a friend! My ratings for this game would be: 8/10 for gameplay/playability 9.5/10 for graphics 10/10 for sound quality 9.5/10 for value Thanks for reading! Go to ...

Review of Need for Speed: ProStreet (Wii)

I'm a Wii Game, get me out of here!

Advantages: fun, variety in games
Disadvantages: not actually celebrities

...instantly. You will see the I'm a Celebrity design that is also used on the TV show etc, with the green Jungle positioned beneath the luscious blue sky, the sparkly logo mounted on the background. It's definitely an attractive design and one that will catch your attention. A lovely cover is all well but it is, of course, the game itself that you are buying it for. The game allows you to be part of the Jungle, after you have created a profile for ...
...are like myself and love I'm a Celebrity then this is a great game to buy for sure. Even if you are just looking for a fun and adventurous game though it still ticks all the right boxes. It will cost you around £20 online from stores such as HMV or Amazon.co.uk, but in stores such as Game it may cost you as much as £30. It is definitely worth playing and I am sure it will provide you with hours of fun and entertainment. Amy 2009 ...
