Ratatouille

Wii Review

If you havent noticed - its summer, a time where movie theatres get big-budget actionganzas and your console goes through a bit of a dry spell. Unless you want to start tapping that pile of games you swore youd get to by now, you can always sniff around for the latest, potentially awful film tie-in starring emo spider-men, ambiguous pirates or… a French rat that cooks? Ratatouille on the Wii is nearly identical to its PS2/GameCube brethren, only not as good because simplified waggle ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids

Wii Review

What if the hero didn't save the day? What if, instead, he was hoodwinked and mocked by his captors? If Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii is any indication, the resulting forecast would be partly innovative with a 95% chance of hilarity. Rayman is a prisoner of the insane Rabbids - evil animals that are one part Bugs Bunny, and one part Sloth from The Goonies. He's made to compete in twisted, gladiator-style minigames that show the versatility of the Wii's controls and the sense of humor of ...

Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

Wii Review

Nov 19, 2007 Having had last Christmas ruined by a soundtrack of manic rabbid wails emitting from the family Wii, we were dreading the sequel. And by the minigame-anthology laws laid down by Mario Party, this should have been worse than the first. Only, by some small Christmas miracle, its not. Gone is the Neanderthal focus on aimless controller peddling, replaced with a whole host of game ideas. Just five minutes of play can see gesture mimicking to ride a mechanical bull, memory games to ...

Red Steel

Wii Review

Shoot him in the head, then cut it off with a three-foot-long sword. Sounds like the best of both worlds, right? On paper, the blade-and-bullet aggression of Red Steel seems irresistible, but learning the complicated controls and coping with the overall sludgy gameplay really get in the way of any visceral sensations. ...

Resident Evil 4

Wii Review

Is there anything left to say about Resident Evil 4? It came out more than two years ago, astonished GameCube owners for about a month and then went into hibernation until the PS2 port launched later in 2005 with bonus goodies galore. Now, in friggin' 2007, Wii gets the PS2 version plus some wiggle-waggle controls - and that's it. No enhanced graphics, no "new to Wii" modes, just the same damn game you've probably beaten two or three times by now. And you know what? It's still a satisfying, ...

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles

Wii Review

Nov 21, 2007 Theres no doubt in our minds that at some point in the recent past, Umbrella Chronicles was a very different game from the one that has finally emerged. Far from being some elaborate mystery for us to unravel, the evidence has been there from the start - early interviews with Capcoms team suggested Chronicles would be a game more like Resident Evil 4, while later interviews hinted at a change of tune. RE 4 is a tough act to follow, and its a shame we never saw Umbrella Chronicles ...

Rig Racer 2

Wii Review

We were mildly interested at the title Rig Racer 2, expecting some sort of hauling ass and taking names (names like Big Daddy and Snake, of course), flooring it over the-sidewalk-and-through-the-buildings madness. After all, if movies have taught us anything, it's that a big rig is basically indestructible as long as you blast the horn when plowing into something. But what we got was a track barely wide enough for two trucks side by side - and ...

Rock Band

Wii Review

"No f&#*ing way am I wearing that." That was the initial reaction by many gamers when they saw the little plastic guitar that powered the original Guitar Hero. My, how times have changed. In Rock Band - the new multiplayer spin from the original GH creators, Harmonix - not only do you eagerly want to grab a fake plastic guitar, but you won't have to look far to find three other people just as willing to step up to grab a fake plastic bass, fake plastic drums and a fake plastic ...

Rock 'N' Roll Adventures

Wii Review

Nov 26, 2007 Which came first? Ninjabread Man or this or Anubis II, as all of them are practically identical - one game with three skins. Elviz (yes) swings his guitar like the Ninjabread chap swings his sword, and shoots at things using the same pointer-controlled cursor. From level structure to menus, the only real difference is in the graphics. For a game with a musical theme, the music is very poor. Elviz jumps on drums and runs along keyboards, which could have made a nice sound but ...

Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis

Wii Review

From the deranged minds that brought you Grand Theft Auto, and the sycophantic gorehounds that will soon unleash Manhunt 2, comes... Ping Pong? Or Table Tennis rather, (Rockstar hates it when we call it the "Double P" word) and even though the game won't turn near as many heads as beating a prostitute to death or disemboweling a leather gimp, Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis still serves up a game of ball worthy of some attention. It's not entirely irrelevant to bring up the developer's ...
