Wii Play

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Wii Play: I recently hired Wii play from Tesco DVD Rentals to see if I liked it before buying it and I enjoyed it a lot so I thought I would review it for all of you. Wii Play is the kind of game that is great for when you have a group of friends around with several different mini-games to play. There is a multi-player function allowing for two people to play at once. Because the games are short, (a minute or so max), you can all take it turns to play without anyone getting bored whilst still allowing enough time for toilet/cuppa breaks. There are seven different mini-games on Wii Play and these are: Shooting Range: This is my favourite game and it involves shooting at various moving targets. There are five levels each with a different type of target each getting steadily more difficult. There are balloons, cans, targets, clay...

Lets play

Advantages: Fun to play, 9 games to play
Disadvantages: none

...The wii has revoloutionised the way we play video games. It has made everyone dancing, waaving arms around crazily, jumping in there own living rooms. I recently bought a wii and it obviously came supplied with the wii sport game but I decided I wanted to buy another game. I choose Wii play by nintendo. I bought the game as the cover looked interesting and the description of the game on the back caught my eye. So I put the game into the wii and started the game up. Good thing with the game is that you can play with your already made Mii's so loading my character up was easy. People that don't know, Mii's are character that you make of yourselves or others so you can play with them in different games. There are 9 different games in total and all use different functions of the wii remote. The games include shooting range, find...

Wii Play

Advantages: Fun game and you get a remote
Disadvantages: Expensive if you don't require another remote

...ages: You get the game free with a remote! Disadvantages: The game can't be bought on its own! I havea recently spent time with my family where I was introduced to the Wii. The Wii game Wi Play is a game which you can get for the Nintendo Wii, its one of the only games which comes with a Wii Remote included. As you pay around the same price for a remote as for this game with remote it is really like getting a free game. The game consists of 12 mini games, which you unlock as you go along. The games seemed to me to be to play and we did have a lot of fun fun! Two people can play the games together.. Suitable for adults, children ( and wrinklies like me) the controls can be picked up easily and quickly - even for me. None of the games include throwing the wii remote around like wii sports, so there is not much danger...

Wii Play and remote

Advantages: comes with a remote! Great for kids.
Disadvantages: the game can't be bought on its own.

...This is a game which you can get for the Nintendo Wii, its one of the only games which comes with a Wii Remote included. The wii remotes are arond £30 depending where you get them from (prices do differ from place to place), and this game is around £30 itself, with the wii remote. SO what I have deducted from that is that Wii Play is a game which comes free with the remote itself rather than the other way round. Wii Play is a very short game, it consists of 12 mini games, which you unlock as you go along. The games are very easy to play and they are very very fun! They can all be played in multiplayer mode, but only up to two people can play at one time. The games are suitable for children as well as adults and are very easy use, the controls can be picked up easily and quickly making it a greart game for the kids as you can...

Shall Wii Play?

Advantages: Includes Wii Remote, 9 quick games
Disadvantages: Repetitive, Basic

...The gaming revolution has begun, with Nintendo leaving the life-like renditions and uncanny simulations to the competition and trying to focus on the most fun, approachable aspects of video-games instead. Nintendo never fails to deliver true masterpieces in each generation, but their sporadic nature hasn't allowed for the Big N's return to the top of the industry this past decade. With that in mind, the Wii puts a lot of faith in the simple "party" games that take full advantage of the Wiimote and its unique features. Wii Sports already showed us how to get non-gamers frantically flailing their arms in front of a television and Wii Play follows in a similar vain, with a selection of 9 "instructional" games. It is a case of quantity versus quality, but as the deal is sweetened with the inclusion of a free Wii Remote, Wii Play just might...

The Long Good Friday

Advantages: Bob Hoskins
Disadvantages: Story

...Prior to watching The Long Good Friday, I thought people were actually taking the piss when they said Bob Hoskins played a gangster in one of the most respectable British crime films ever made. "Not Bob Hoskins who played the overweight plumber Mario in the Super Mario Bros. movie?" I said. Apparently so. Urgh. Surprisingly, the once fat, balding, video game protagonist is really quite impressive in his earlier work here. He plays Harold Shand, a notorious London businessman of the criminal underworld, who aspires to go straight in the late-1970s by redeveloping the old docklands property as a venue for the 1988 Olympic Games. He's an aggressive character, but looks after his crew; his speeches about the country's membership of the European Union are fuelled with intelligence and British pride; he is well groomed and has a beautiful...

wii play

Advantages: great if you need a new remote
Disadvantages: games could be better

...This game comes with a Wii contoller and this is the only thing that the game has going for it, but then i did not expect that much for around a fiver. It retails for around 40 pounds and that is for the wii remote and the game where as the remote on its own retails at 33 pounds so there really is not that much difference and you get a game with it as well. You have 9 games on Wii play which vary from Tanks, Laser Hockey, Table Tennis, Shooting Range, Billiards and Fishing these can be single or two player. This game is great for the kids and it would keep them entertained for hours and all the games are simple to play and the remote is easy to use, but when this game comes to adults i would not recommend it unless you are new to the wii and want to get use to the wireless remote control with games that are not too challenging...

Review of Wii Play (Wii)

Wii play? We prefer not to play actually!

Advantages: Comes with remote, games are easy for everybody to grasp, bit of lighthearted fun
Disadvantages: Basic games which fail to keep my attention for very long, not for hardcore gamers, boring really

...soon as you see them which makes them bounce. If you keep them up for long enough you get extra points. The last level is shooting UFOs - There is a line up of 6 Mii's (they are all your Mii) which get beamed up and taken away by the UFOs, you have to shoot the UFOs down to save your Mii's. The more Mii's are left at the end, the more points you get. The game is very similar to the 1980s Duck Hunt game made for the NES and pays tribute to it by throwing a few overhead ducks in throughout the game for bonus points. It is an okay game and probably one of the best. It can get a little boring after a while but can be fun and competative when playing two player. The second game is Find Mii. For those who are unaware what a Mii is - a Mii is a little character which is used during Wii games (you also have Mii's of yourself which you can create...

The Long Goodbye

Advantages: (+) interesting story, quite different (+) suprises, twists and turns! (+) hard to put down
Disadvantages: (-) A little more description possibly needed though not essential!

.... BRIEF INTRODUCTION The Long Goodbye is a novel first published in 1953 and was based around Chandler's famous detective Philip Marlowe. The book contains many autobiographical elements that relate to the author's own life. It has been ranked as one of Chandler's best works. The Long Goodbye was given the Edgar Award for Best Novel two years later in 1955. The novel begins outside a club called The Dancers. Marlowe meets Terry Lennox outside the club; he is a drunk and has many scars on his face. The two men become friends over the next few months, though the friendship is an 'uncomfortable' one. However, late one night, Lennox turns up at Marlowe's home asking for a ride to the airport; Marlowe agrees as long as he doesn't know why his friend his running away. As he returns to Los Angeles soon after, Marlowe is arrested...
