Super Mario Bros on the Wii

Advantages: Great team playing ability
Disadvantages: None as of yet.

...it going. The New Super Mario Bros. Wii has captured all the quality of previous Mario Bros. It captures the sheer simple pleasure of running and jumping; all can be done easily with a d-pad and two buttons. The game play takes a little getting used to but once mastered its great fun. There is also the ability to share it with up to three pals. The first time a Mario game has offered proper co-op play. Keeping the play confined lends the game a more ...
...player takes on a new light with extra players, encouraging you to work together and carefully negotiate each obstacle to keep your team’s life stock up. It is, for all intents and purposes, the very definition of a co-operative game. That physicality becomes an asset, bouncing off the head of an ally gives you a vertical boost to get to those hard-to-reach places. You can even pick friends up with a shake of the remote (held sideways) to carry them ...

Review of New Super Mario Bros. (Wii)

The Rolling Gizmo Galaxy Drove Me Nuts!

Advantages: Excellent game
Disadvantages: The rolling Gizmo Galaxy

...hard" that i tried and Super Mario 64 was brilliant but i never got round to finishing it. When i got my Nintendo Wii last Christmas, i was so excited about getting it and i had picked a few particular games one of them being the brilliant Sims Castaway. I have always loved The Sims games so for the first while although Super Mario Galaxy was sitting there i hardly ever used it. After my brother's reminding me for the hundreth time how good it was ...
...This reminded me of the Super Monkey Ball games. The controller had to be moved corresponding with the way that you needed it to and this involved tilting the controller. This was probably the only thing that i didn't like about the game because its another one of those levels like in Mario Sunshine that had me wanting to throw the "Wii out the window. It was a nightmare and the music for the level in question was extremely irritating and reminded ...

Lego Indiana Jones for the Wii

Advantages: It's Lego! Fun, great cutscenes
Disadvantages: Inability to save mid-level

I loved playing with Lego as a child (still do if I'm honest) and I also owned quite a few Lego video games. Lego Indiana Jones for the Wii is just as much fun as I expected it to be. The gameplay is quite simple in theory, made easier by the fact it would seem you can't actually die and lose, instead when you lose your health you just lose gems/points that you've collected. However that doesn't make the whole game easy, you still have to work at ...
...talk, instead they grunt and have some rather amusing facial expressions. The only downside I find is that you can't save in the middle of a stage, so you can't just play the game for 15 minutes then go back to it another day. Recommended for any Lego fan. ...

Review of LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (Wii)

Batman In pieces(great pieces)

Advantages: Catchy Achievments, Unlockables , addicitive gameplay
Disadvantages: Sounds!

Lego batman is one of three games the lego franchise released in succession. Lego batman is gripping and addictive and I found myself attached to the screen within minutes. Smash and batarang yourway through the 30 level chapters I bought this game after playing the indiana free roam lego game. I was overly joyed by the game and the playability so decided that I may aswell buy the next in the series. Lego Batman is a game where you can play as both ...
...each game there are 10 lego canisters(which glow and are black) to collect. These canisters represent minikit/as I call them a unlockable model. Aswell as that there are Studs, which are basically like Ratchet and clank Bolts. Like points which can be redeemed for unlockables(cars, vehicles and upgrades). Then there is also the famed power brick which can be difficult to find as there is one in every level, making it much trickier to find the powerbrick's. ...

Review of LEGO Batman (Wii)

Very average game

Advantages: Lots of mini games
Disadvantages: No idea of goals

I brought this game for christmas for the wii. I have to say I was a little bit disappointed. Once through the training levels, the game is ok, but there is not alot of control and it is fairly basic. In the party mode, my husband decided to try and have a go. He got very frustrated over it. For each mini game that we played, we were given instruction on what to do, but not what the goal was. So once you got into the game you had to figure out ...
...task. Most of the tasks had a time limit and by the time you had figured out the goal there was not much time left to complete the game. One game it told you how to put air into the balloon. This was fine, so off we went and started blowing it up as fast as we could. When the computers turn came round, they hardly put any air in and we wondered why. When my turn came round again, I carried on and the balloon popped. It was only then we figured out ...
