Simplistic in every area, N+ doesn't keep your attention for long

Jun 23, 2009

N+ puts you in a ninja's shoes, running and jumping your way through level after level full of small explosives, electrified floating orbs, lasers, and homing missiles. The game presents itself in a very simplistic fashion from every approach, and in the end it doesn't really keep your attention for long. N+ throws some unique challenges at you, though, which makes it a decent game for what it is. Your objective in…

Animal Crossing: City Folk2008

Nov 28, 2008

Positive: + very bright, fun atmosphere + towns are big + graphics and frame rate are incredibly smooth + superb Wii controls that don’t overdo themselves + unique, quirky sense of humor + relaxing, fun music Negative: - the game is hardly even an update to Wild World - Nook’s store takes way too long to expand - the city is small and lacking anything that’s actually worth your time Animal Crossing: Wild World on…

Positive: - fun, reliable touch control scheme - great graphics - lots of stuff to collect - makes use of (literally) every DS function imaginable - dungeons are pretty fun - boss battles make clever use of both screens - writing on the map is a great feature - multiplayer and online features are nice - Negative: - the adventure is short and pretty easy - going through The Temple of the Ocean King several times…

Nanostray 22008

Aug 4, 2008

Positive: - decent graphics - improvements from the original become instantly obvious - new weapons are cool - space shooter style = cool and fun - lots of extra challenges - two different types of levels - Negative: - only 8 levels in the main game - still REALLY hard, even on easy - Nanostray was a good game that was fun but way too hard all the way throughout, even on easy. Now, Nanostray is back and harder than…

Pokémon Emerald2004

Aug 3, 2008

Positive: - core Pokemon gameplay is as solid as ever - gyms have new puzzles and leaders have some different Pokemon - story is a combination of Ruby and Sapphire, only better - little bits here and there that make it a whole different experience than Ruby/Sapphire - Negative: - day/night feature is (still) absent - still struggles to live up to Gold and Silver - Pokemon has got to be one of the biggest franchises…

Defend Your Castle2008

Aug 3, 2008

Being the least expensive WiiWare launch game, many people may not expect much from Defend Your Castle. However, the game is actually really good. You point at the screen to defend your castle from incoming stick figures, stick figures with popsicle sticks, big one-eyed monsters, and eventually catapults. The first thing to note is the graphical style. It looks like a crayon drawing, which is really cool and give…

Mario Kart Wii2008

Aug 3, 2008

Good: - online play is top-notch, a true first for a Nintendo game - gameplay feels new and familiar at the same time - motorcycles and tricks are very nice additions to the series - huge character roster including the option to use your Mii - the Whiil is a very fun peripheral to use and really opens up the game to everyone - 12 player races are really cool - Bad: - items are terribly annoying and cheap,…

My Pokémon Ranch2008

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - you can trade with the ranch owner occasionally - Negative: - just a useless expansion of Diamond/Pearl - horrible graphics - literally no kind of gameplay - dull and boring - WiiWare hasn't seen a lot of good games yet, and things like My Pokemon Ranch don't help that at all. In fact, it pushes WiiWare backwards. My Pokemon Ranch doesn't even earn the right to be called a game, and even if it did, it'd…

Pokémon Snap1999

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - overall very fun and interesting - seeing Pokemon react to eachother (and to you) in their environments is really cool - very nice graphics - creative ways to get pictures of different Pokemon - Negative: - only 63 kinds of Pokemon out of the 150 from that time - only seven areas to go to, making the game short and taking away lots of potential value - What's the first thing that comes to mind when you…

Mario Strikers Charged2007

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - just as fun as the original - individual sidekicks can be selected, each with different stats - excellent controls - very good multiplayer and online play - Negative: - brutally difficult - graphics aren't all that great - mega strikes make the game a little unbalanced - a little too hectic sometimes - Mario Strikers Charged is a great game. It has improved over the original in every way possible except…

Pokémon Pinball1999

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - pretty fun - nice graphics and physics - cool rumble feature - perfectly integrates Pokemon into pinball - Negative: - you won't feel very inspired to play it a whole lot - Throughout the history of gaming, there have been many pinball games. Most are based off of some kind of movie or another game. Pokemon Pinball is no exception, but it does more than you really need from a pinball game. It's pretty…

Link's Crossbow Training2007

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - Zapper is fun to use - revisiting worlds from Twilight Princess is great - most levels are worth re-playing - it's (technically) FREE! - Negative: - Zapper feels clunky and awkward for awhile - only takes about an hour to beat all the levels - Finally, Nintendo has realeased their Zapper controller, and it comes with a pack-in game called Link's Crossbow Training. In the game, you go back to many of the…

Paper Mario2000

Aug 2, 2008

Positive: - great RPG elements - excellent graphics and sound - just makes you smile - pretty lengthy adventure - fun to play - Negative: nothing worth noting Paper Mario is an amazing game. It was among the last games to come out on the Nintendo 64, and it's almost a shame it didn't get pushed back a bit and put on GameCube so the visuals could have been a bit better. Playing Paper Mario will be one of the most…

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams2007

Jul 31, 2008

The original NiGHTS game was supposedly a great, but sadly overlooked, game. I have never played it before, but the new sequel, Journey of Dreams, caught my attention because its immersive graphics and seemingly breathtaking flying gameplay. Well, sadly, this game should live up to no one's expectations. What is perhaps Journey of Dreams' only strong point is its graphics and music. The graphics are pretty immersive…

Geometry Wars: Galaxies2007

Jul 31, 2008

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was a smash hit on the XBOX 360's Live Arcade, and for good reason. It is an intense, crazy, and fun arcade-style shooting game where you have a ship on a grid and move with one control stick while shooting with the other to destroy the various enemies that come on the grid. Now, Geometry Wars has come to Wii and DS, and while both versions are good, the Wii version is much better than…

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure2007

Jul 30, 2008

Positive: - excellent graphics - ingeniously clever puzzles and solutions - intuitive use of the Wii remote - great music - Negative: - gets way too hard way too quickly - hints are rarely helpful at all - early frustrations hurt the game's accessibility - Zack & Wiki is considered to be a very overlooked, underappreciated game. I thought I'd give it a rent and see how it is. It's definitely a great, high quality…

Positive: - great graphics - excellent sound effects and voice acting - animated cutscenes look very nice - controls are sharp and work perfectly - full of lovable personality - dialogue is hilarious every minute of the game - great quality overall - Negative: - a couple annoying camera quirks here and there - Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is definitely an awesome game. With quality around every corner, witty dialogue,…

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift2008

Jul 24, 2008

Positive: - you'll never run out of things to do - story is nice - very addictive - lots of new jobs and abilities - both screens are used for maximum convenience - new law system is great, but... - Negative: - actual laws range from rediculous to mind-numbingly stupid - other little annoyances here and there that hurt the experience a bit - the graphics look ok but they're not completely upgraded from the GBA - no…

Super Smash Bros. Brawl2008

Jul 24, 2008

Good: - excellent, fun gameplay - great new single player mode that you will actually want to play - awesome new characters and stages - best game soundtrack of all time - multiplayer is still a blast - almost everything can be done with 2 player co-op - great graphics, likely the best seen on Wii thus far - LOADED with tons of extra stuff - Bad: - online play is really bad - stage editor is ok, but not something…
