Bomberman Land

Wii Review

Of the different Bomberman Land games, the Wii iteration is the most straightforward of the bunch. You don't have to concern yourself with tracking down items or solving puzzles to get through the story mode. Instead, you only have to worry about your hand falling off from madly shaking the Wii remote as you play through dozens of awful minigames.To be fair, a few of the minigames are good. Moving the Wii remote up and down to pump the crank on ...

Kawasaki Jet Ski

Wii Review

Wii - Kawasaki Jet Ski - Kawasaki Jet Ski

Kawasaki Jet Ski is the fifth Wii racing game released by publisher Bold Games (a sub-brand of Destineer) within the first month of 2008 – which would be a remarkable feat, were it something to be celebrated. Like its budget brethren, Kawasaki Jet Ski appears to have been compiled entirely by machines, offering a generic, unchallenging take on the genre popularized by Wave Race 64 back in 1996. In fact, with limp waves and even limper ...

Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore

Wii Review

Wii - Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore - Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore

Few expected the pairing of the Karaoke Revolution franchise and the popular American Idol television license (previously tied to a horrifying 2003 dance game) to produce such a genuine, revitalized iteration of the aging sing-along series, but it happened - and we're better singers because of it (maybe). Thirteen months later, Konami is back with Karaoke Revolution Presents: American Idol Encore, and the addition of that final word to the ...

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

Wii Review

Wii - Donkey Kong Barrel Blast - Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

Oh no - not you again. Barrel Blast is the worst game to carry Nintendo’s logo since the late nineties, and a game with Game & Watch-level gameplay married to sub-GameCube graphics.The Wii’s best titles are games that couldn’t be done anywhere else. Free from fluff or waste, they’re accessible and graspable by even the densest of non-gamers. Simple, immediate games are exactly what make the Wii great, and the ...

One Piece: Unlimited Adventure

Wii Review

Almost, but not quite. That's the skinny on One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. For the 60-or-so hours it'll take you to complete the story mode, you'll command the characters from the One Piece anime and manga franchise, explore a beautiful 3D rendered island, and have a free pass to beat the stuffing out of the soldiers that frequently get in your way. There's just one catch. The majority of those 60-hours will be spent gathering rocks, bugs, fish, and other silly bits of junk. The game opens ...

Furu Furu Park

Wii Review

We've lived with the Wii for more than a year now, so there's really no reason to belabor this opening point: Yes, the Wii plays host to an inordinate amount of minigame collections. Furthermore, most of them are insipid, although some few are actually worth your time, whether you're flying solo or waggling with companions. Furu Furu Park unfortunately does not fall into that worthwhile category, but it's hard to tell if it just misses the mark or if it truly falls into the category of soulless ...

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity

Wii Review

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is missing the sense of speed that we expect from Sonic. It isnt entirely gone, but only shows up in short bursts. The really fast parts tend to happen on invisible (or visible) rails. Everything else seems like the slow part between the shortcuts and boosts. We do like the courses, which are packed with flashy scenery and things that will slow you if you run into them. And were indifferent about the new gravity controls. Part of the lack of a feeling of speed comes ...

No More Heroes

Wii Review

Violence, sex, things to see, things to collect, spectacular graphics and even better sound, a sense of humour, a sense of purpose, an insane logic running through every fiber - and enough swearing to get your TV banned by the authorities. Killer7 creator Suda51 is back, all right. Our hero, Travis Touchdown, is a motel-dwelling, action figure-collecting, anime-obsessing gamer who wins a lightsaber in an online auction and sets off on a mission to become the worlds number one hitman so he can ...

Nitrobike

Wii Review

Nitrobike is the sort of outrageous racing game that you desperately want to like. In every race, you're mashing the turbo button, performing death-defying tricks, and literally destroying the track as you try to beat the other riders to the finish line. Unfortunately, you're also fighting the Wii remote every step of the way just to stay pointed in the right direction, which quickly transforms what ought to be a lovey-dovey relationship into a trip to ...
