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. ...

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 ...

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2

Wii Review

After dozens of games on nearly as many platforms, the Dragon Ball Z franchise finally hit its stride with last year's Budokai Tenkaichi, the first game to really capture the feeling of the DBZ anime's insane, aerial martial-arts battles. For the sequel, developer Spike has pulled out all the stops, packing in around 130 characters and two dozen full storylines to deliver the definitive Dragon Ball experience. Like in the first game, fighting in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 unfolds from ...

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Wii Review

Wii - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 - Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3

Talk about truth in advertising - check out the slogan adorning the print campaign for Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3: "Introducing, among other things, some people you haven't had a chance to punch in the face yet." That's the long and short of it in the third iteration of the Budokai Tenkaichi fighting franchise. As is often the case with yearly, numbered iterations in any franchise, Budokai Tenkaichi 3 doesn't deviate ...

Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire

Wii Review

Oct 4, 2007 Picture the least interesting licensed action game you've played in the last several years. Now, swap the license and its ensuing production values for a generic, by-the-book fantasy setting. What's left? Probably something pretty similar to Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire for Wii. Like many early Wii titles, Dragon Blade takes an established concept (weapon-based brawler) and adds motion controls to the mix, though the term "tacked-on" really isn't appropriate here. Dragon Blade does ...
