Mario Strikers Charged

Wii Review

Of all the GameCube titles we were hoping to see resurrected on Wii, Mario Strikers was never one that really showed up on our radar. After all, the original wasnt hugely impressive, being an exhausting and largely skill-free exercise in button-mashing attrition. If it was an arcade sports game its simplicity might have worked in its favor, but who would pay $50 for something so frantic and random? But its back, polished up and given a few new Wii controls though essentially unchanged in ...

Mario Super Sluggers

Wii Review

Wii - Mario Super Sluggers - Mario Super Sluggers

We were half expecting this to be like a Mario-ised version of the baseball game from Wii Sports, but having puzzled our way through, we’d have to say we were half wrong. Or is that fully wrong? Anyway, the point is that it’s nothing at all like Wii Sports, so the potential for a full-on baseball game with Mario characters and some proper motion-sensing for the batting and pitching has not yet been realised. ...

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Wii Review

Raven Soft and Activision have teamed up for two of the best X-Men adventures in videogames (X-Men Legends and X-Men Legends II: Rise of the Apocalypse). Now, using some of the best, most powerful and most popular heroes in the Marvel universe, Marvel Ultimate Alliance is an enormous adventure filled with dozens of vile villains and multiple universe-shattering threats. The game features an ambitious story and an equally ambitious cast... that's wrapped up in the same old gameplay you've ...

Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Wii Review

Nov 21, 2007 When Medal of Honor first appeared, around the same time as Steven Spielbergs gritty Saving Private Ryan, it was an eye-opener. War had never looked so realistic on big or small screen, and having seen the dirty gore of the movie, we could fill in the blanks left by the sanitised, bloodlessness of the game. These days, WWII is just another videogame cliché, and Medal of Honor has long since slipped into self-parody. We dont expect these things to be anything more than ...

Medal of Honor: Vanguard

Wii Review

Medal of Honor Vanguard drops in on the Wii and brings with it the arsenal of intensity that weve grown to love, (again and again). From the moment that you first land as Corporal Keegan on a beach in Sicily in Operation Husky, until the end of Operation Varsity, Vanguards assault rifle may jam once or twice, but its clip never runs dry. In Vanguard you take up your Garand again, this time as a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, one of Americas first airborne units. EA is one of the ...

Mega Man 9 - WiiWare

Wii Review

Wii - Mega Man 9 - WiiWare - Mega Man 9 - WiiWare

If you weren’t around for Mega Man’s heyday (waaaay back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, around 1990), all this commotion about an archaic, unsophisticated platformer may make about as much sense as the robot elephants that populate Concrete Man’s level.

The confusion is understandable - Mega Man 9 is an old-school 8-bit NES game through and through, with pixel-perfect jumps, one hit kills and crushingly ...

Mercury Meltdown Revolution

Wii Review

Spiritualists and healers in the Far East who used to attribute mercury with healing properties would have been run out of town if theyd cited this game as evidence. After a few levels on Mercury Meltdown Revolution, theyd have been ready to club each other to painful death with a ritualistic bell, only realizing too late how damaging and toxic this slippery little element can be. Specifically, this is the first game to make us actually throw the Wii remote hard at the wall in real ...

Metal Slug Anthology

Wii Review

They dont make silly, shoot-everything-then-go-right games like the Metal Slug series anymore… unless you count the most recent entry in the 7-game Metal Slug Anthology, which just hit arcades this year. So, um… yeah, okay, they do still make games like that. What they shouldnt do is force you to use funky new control schemes that dont suit the old gameplay. The title of this side-scrolling shooter refers to “super vehicles” that come in the form of tanks, ...

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Wii Review

Aug 29, 2007 With so much emphasis on the casual market (Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Play etc), it's easy to assume Nintendo's slowly leaving the hardcore gamer behind. Half of 2007 is over and the only true gamer's game we've seen from the company is Super Paper Mario - an RPG that either pushes your buttons or falls flat. Now, finally, there's a built-for-Wii title that embraces serious players and rewards them with intense shooting action, brain-sizzling puzzles and the smoothest graphics and ...

MLB Power Pros

Wii Review

Oct 10, 2007 If baseball is a game of inches, what then is MLB Power Pros, a game of fate, love, loss, friendship, loan sharks and pizza delivery? It's probably the most creative sports game to be released in some time, and a nice addition to any baseball fan's library. Developed by Konami, Power Pros is the Americanized version of Jikkyou Pawafuru Major League 2, the madly popular Japanese baseball game. As you can see from the oh-so-cute player models that lack legs, Power Pros is targeted ...
