Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party

Wii Review

On our extreme journey of revolutionary dance, we've experienced countless mixes (and a few ultramixes), seen a supernova or two, and explored the rhythmic universe. After all of that physical movement, can we really be bothered to stop by a party? Consider Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party a singles mixer, with DDR newbies swapped in for unattached attendees. With its streamlined interface and lack of extensive options, Hottest Party seems targeted at those gamers who missed the first ...

Dave Mirra BMX Challenge

Wii Review

Oct 5, 2007 Having starred in some fairly reasonable Tony Hawk-style games and sensibly extricated himself from the risible BMX XXX a few years ago, Dave Mirra seemed to drop off the gaming radar. But while we'd sort of forgotten he was still around, it seems he never actually went away. Late last year he popped up on PSP, to very poor reviews, and now the same game has been converted to Wii. BMX Challenge is pretty much identical to the Sony portable version. Instead of the free-roaming ...

Death, Jr. II: Root of Evil

Wii Review

Wii - Death, Jr. II: Root of Evil - Death Jr.: Root of Evil

What proud son doesn’t want to follow in his father’s footsteps? We can think of a few ol’ blocks you don’t want to be a chip off - Saddam Hussein, Noel Edmonds, the Grim Reaper. Alas, then, for poor Death Jr., son of the soul collector. And alas for Root of Evil, a port of a PSP title, it’s a massive chip off the old block - with blocky being the key word. Where in the developers’ handbook does it state ...

Deca Sports

Wii Review

Deca Sports (Sports Island in the UK) has simple and genteel controls that mean you won’t be destroying any hardware - or indeed your wrists - and it’s a far less hectic proposition all round; ice skating, curling and badminton are hardly in the same adrenaline-pumping class as pole vaulting, hurdling and hammer-throwing. ...

Defend Your Castle - WiiWare

Wii Review

Wii - Defend Your Castle - WiiWare - Defend Your Castle - WiiWare

The first reaction to XGen’s fortress-protection simulator ranged from a minor "pfft" from our art people to full-blown mock vomiting from one editor. An update of their own flash game, the argument goes that XGen haven’t really updated at all. Our scoffing editor even played the original in the background to make his point.

But they’re wrong. A) the crude stick men of the original are now, erm, crude crayon drawings ...

Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Wii Review

Wii - Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed - Destroy All Humans: Big Willy Unleashed

Crypto is back, and this time it’s in the disco-dancing, bell bottomy 70’s. The third installment in the series comes out with little that is new but does it with enough verve to make the game enjoyable, and sometimes, laugh out loud funny. There is a plot - above and beyond destroying all humans to get our DNA - about stopping humans from figuring out what’s really in Big Willy’s hotdogs (Big Willy, by the way, is a ...

Detective Conan: Tsuioku no Gensou [import]

Wii Review

Professor Plum in the kitchen with the candlestick? Or the black-painted men in the park with the poison that turns 17-year-old amateur sleuths into ankle-biting miniature detectives? This is the story of Shinichi Kudo, a boy whose natural curiosity leads to him being shrunk by mysterious criminals. Rather than cry about his fate, or even enjoy the chance of acing his exams and generally being the smartest kid in primary school (which he probably was anyway), Shinichi devotes his newly reset ...

Dewy's Adventure

Wii Review

Sept 28, 2007 Ever sipped from an innocuous mountain spring, only to find your guts afire hours later when the “refreshing purity” reveals its true bacterial payload? Like the Evian-to-be that had you hugging the porcelain that time in the Brecon Beacons, Dewys Adventure pledges refreshment, disguising a cruel backstabbing agenda within. Backstabbing, you say? Okay, its a bit strong, but we must admit were disappointed. During the Wiis wobbly training feet days, Elebits was the ...

DK Barrel Blast

Wii Review

Oct 8, 2007 Donkey Konga - drums and monkeys, together at last; their powers combined in a game that was perfect in design and execution, packed with a satisfying pair of drums to bash your tunes out on. When Nintendo monkeyed (ha!) with the formula for DK Jungle Beat, even the most optimistic gamers choked at the idea of playing a platform game with a pair of bongos, but Nintendo proved the doubters wrong and weve never been so happy to have been mistaken. Jungle Beat remains one of the ...

The Dog Island

Wii Review

For something that looks like a Nintendogs rip-off, there’s a lot more on offer here than you’d think. Choose your four-legged bobble headed puppy from a whopping 48 breeds and you’ll begin a surprisingly entertaining adventure. It’s not GTA or anything, obviously, but it’s still quite diverting. ...
