Loaded with potential... what happened to all of it? 1
Positive: + excellent graphics + some of the POW moves are really cool + the Sonic universe is portrayed well +Negative: - dreadful camera – battle system could use some help – poor sound effects – annoying enemies – Big the Cat! -Sonic is in desperate need of a great game. Sure the Sonic Rush series has been doing well, but he still needs some kind of huge success to get him back on his feet. In an attempt to bring about that desirable future, BioWare has brought Sonic into the wonderful world ...

Loaded with personality and just plain hard to not like 0
Positive: - excellent gameplay – smooth controls – tons of bonus missions and stuff to collect – fun boss battles – great level design -Negative: - a couple levels really aren't too great – looking around doesn't work as well as it should -Spyro the Dragon was a big success on Sony's PlayStation for many reasons: its excellent platforming gameplay, smooth controls, and tons of stuff to collect. Naturally, a sequel was released a year later: Ripto's Rage. This game further excelled areas that the...

One of the most solid, memorable racers of all time 0
Good: - fun! – advanced techniques add depth to the gameplay – great controls – excellent adventure mode – time trial mode is cool – awesome tracks – excellent music and sound effects – lasts a long time overall -Bad: - bosses have unlimited items – no crash detection when bumping other karts -Crash Bandicoot was one of the leading franchises on the PlayStation, and for good reason. A few top-notch games rightly earned him the position. After a few great 3-D platformers, Naughty Dog decided to t...

A true classic loaded with quality and nostalgia 0
Ocarina of Time was revolutionary, without a doubt. It showed people what games can do and provided an enjoyable experience for those who played it back in the day. I have never appreciated OoT as much as most people do, but I still love it. OoT puts you in control of a young boy who lives in a forest village and is chosen by the Deku Tree to, well, save the world. Eventually he visits Hyrule and acquires the Ocarina of Time, which he must use to visit the future and defeat his enemy, Ganon, the...

Decent game that's just lacking fun and liveliness 0
Rayman 2: The Great Escape is considered by so many people to be one of the big parts of the platforming revolution back in the N64/PS days. Personally, I don't know what people see in it. Sure it's a decent game, but nowhere near as good as people claim, in my opinion.The story in Great Escape is simple: Admiral Razorbeard is ruining the land and capturing its inhabitants, and of course Rayman… is captured? Well, only temporarily, of course, as he escapes right at the beginning. Then he sets ou...

Great update of a classic, just with poor controls 0
Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary platformer, and in 2004 Nintendo hoped to successfully recreate it on their brand new handheld, the DS. And so SM64DS was born. This review is made to simply say how the DS game is different from the N64 game, and to say which I think is better, so here goes…One of the main differences in the DS game is the controls. There is a touch screen movement option, but it really doesn't work very well at all. Therefore you are stuck with using a control pad, which is a...

Revolutionary classic that stands the test of time 0
Super Mario 64 is considered to be one of the most revolutionary, influential platformers of all time, and I have to agree. Whenever I go back and play it, I can just feel how it's such a classic, and a memorable one at that. It's a game that stands throughout the test of time and is still pretty fun to play now.SM64 is about Mario going to visit Peach's castle, but he arrives to find that Peach has been kidnapped, and the castle has been taken over by Bowser! So he traverses the castle and the ...

The best WiiWare offering at the time 0
Positive: - great visuals and sound - simple yet entertaining gameplay - 50 levels - decent two-to-four player co-op - only costs $7 -Negative: - some control issues -Â In a world where the Wii Shop Channel gets continually bad games (and even some supposed 'games' that aren't even games at all (*coughs* *My Pokemon Ranch*)), Gyrostarr is a happy exception. It's a great game all-around, and the only real problem worth noting is some control issues. It still doesn't feel like a real 9/10 game, but...

Simplistic in every area, N+ doesn't keep your attention for long 2
N+ puts you in a ninja's shoes, running and jumping your way through level after level full of small explosives, electrified floating orbs, lasers, and homing missiles. The game presents itself in a very simplistic fashion from every approach, and in the end it doesn't really keep your attention for long. N+ throws some unique challenges at you, though, which makes it a decent game for what it is.Your objective in every level is to hit the green switch and get out the door. Easy enough, right? B...

An great game by all means... there's just hardly anything new. 0
Positive: + very bright, fun atmosphere + towns are big + graphics and frame rate are incredibly smooth + superb Wii controls that don’t overdo themselves + unique, quirky sense of humor + relaxing, fun music  Negative: - the game is hardly even an update to Wild World - Nook’s store takes way too long to expand - the city is small and lacking anything that’s actually worth your time  Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS was a huge hit because it managed to be so and big and fun on such a sm...

A worthy Zelda adventure, albeit an easy one. 0
 Positive: - fun, reliable touch control scheme - great graphics - lots of stuff to collect - makes use of (literally) every DS function imaginable - dungeons are pretty fun - boss battles make clever use of both screens - writing on the map is a great feature - multiplayer and online features are nice -  Negative: - the adventure is short and pretty easy - going through The Temple of the Ocean King several times throughout the game can be pretty repetitive -  The Legend of Zelda is a series...

Significantly better than the first in several ways. 0
Positive: - decent graphics - improvements from the original become instantly obvious - new weapons are cool - space shooter style = cool and fun - lots of extra challenges - two different types of levels -Negative: - only 8 levels in the main game - still REALLY hard, even on easy -Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Nanostray was a good game that was fun but way too hard all the way throughout, even on easy.

Similar to the core games, but much has been added. 0
Positive: - core Pokemon gameplay is as solid as ever - gyms have new puzzles and leaders have some different Pokemon - story is a combination of Ruby and Sapphire, only better - little bits here and there that make it a whole different experience than Ruby/Sapphire - Negative: - day/night feature is (still) absent - still struggles to live up to Gold and Silver - Pokemon has got to be one of the biggest franchises of all time. That franchise also tends to follow a pattern: 1) release two versio...

Repetitive, sure, but the sheer comedy keeps you playing. 0
Being the least expensive WiiWare launch game, many people may not expect much from Defend Your Castle. However, the game is actually really good. You point at the screen to defend your castle from incoming stick figures, stick figures with popsicle sticks, big one-eyed monsters, and eventually catapults. The first thing to note is the graphical style. It looks like a crayon drawing, which is really cool and give the game a nice air of fun, and the objects are simplistic but still look nice. The...

The Whiil is fun to use and the online is spectacular! 0
Good: - online play is top-notch, a true first for a Nintendo game - gameplay feels new and familiar at the same time - motorcycles and tricks are very nice additions to the series - huge character roster including the option to use your Mii - the Whiil is a very fun peripheral to use and really opens up the game to everyone - 12 player races are really cool - Bad: - items are terribly annoying and cheap, particularly in single player - no mission mode - some control modes have inconvenient butt...

WHAT? $10? I can't believe it costs more than $1! 0
Positive: - you can trade with the ranch owner occasionally - Negative: - just a useless expansion of Diamond/Pearl - horrible graphics - literally no kind of gameplay - dull and boring - WiiWare hasn't seen a lot of good games yet, and things like My Pokemon Ranch don't help that at all. In fact, it pushes WiiWare backwards. My Pokemon Ranch doesn't even earn the right to be called a game, and even if it did, it'd still be a really bad game for many reasons: 1) There is literally no gameplay. T...

An highly enjoyable game with little value. 0
 Positive: - overall very fun and interesting - seeing Pokemon react to eachother (and to you) in their environments is really cool - very nice graphics - creative ways to get pictures of different Pokemon -Negative: - only 63 kinds of Pokemon out of the 150 from that time - only seven areas to go to, making the game short and taking away lots of potential value -What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a game where you take pictures of made-up creatures? Boring? Dumb? Stupid...

Extremely hard, but pretty fun and the multiplayer is a blast! 0
Positive: - just as fun as the original - individual sidekicks can be selected, each with different stats - excellent controls - very good multiplayer and online play -Negative: - brutally difficult - graphics aren't all that great - mega strikes make the game a little unbalanced - a little too hectic sometimes -Mario Strikers Charged is a great game. It has improved over the original in every way possible except for the undeniable fact that it's REALLY hard! It's fun, has more characters, great...

A neat pinball game, but you won't play it a whole lot. 1
Positive: - pretty fun - nice graphics and physics - cool rumble feature - perfectly integrates Pokemon into pinball -Negative: - you won't feel very inspired to play it a whole lot -Throughout the history of gaming, there have been many pinball games. Most are based off of some kind of movie or another game. Pokemon Pinball is no exception, but it does more than you really need from a pinball game. It's pretty fun, has nice graphics, and integrates Pokemon into every aspect of the game.Pokemon ...

A neat pack-in game that's fun despite the awkwardness. 0
Positive: - Zapper is fun to use - revisiting worlds from Twilight Princess is great - most levels are worth re-playing - it's (technically) FREE! -Negative: - Zapper feels clunky and awkward for awhile - only takes about an hour to beat all the levels - Finally, Nintendo has realeased their Zapper controller, and it comes with a pack-in game called Link's Crossbow Training. In the game, you go back to many of the memorable locations from Twilight Princess such as the Bridge of Eldin, City in th...

Makes you laugh and smile in ways you'll never forget. 0
Positive: - great RPG elements - excellent graphics and sound - just makes you smile - pretty lengthy adventure - fun to play -Negative: nothing worth notingPaper Mario is an amazing game. It was among the last games to come out on the Nintendo 64, and it's almost a shame it didn't get pushed back a bit and put on GameCube so the visuals could have been a bit better. Playing Paper Mario will be one of the most unforgettable gaming experiences you'll ever have. The creative paper world is great, ...

Brimming with potential, but it was nowhere to be found. 0
The original NiGHTS game was supposedly a great, but sadly overlooked, game. I have never played it before, but the new sequel, Journey of Dreams, caught my attention because its immersive graphics and seemingly breathtaking flying gameplay. Well, sadly, this game should live up to no one's expectations.What is perhaps Journey of Dreams' only strong point is its graphics and music. The graphics are pretty immersive and are truly beautiful during most of the gameplay. The music is very good and n...

Just a sideshow to the Wii version, but still pretty fun. 0
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved was a smash hit on the XBOX 360's Live Arcade, and for good reason. It is an intense, crazy, and fun arcade-style shooting game where you have a ship on a grid and move with one control stick while shooting with the other to destroy the various enemies that come on the grid. Now, Geometry Wars has come to Wii and DS, and while both versions are good, the Wii version is much better than the DS version. Both games include Retro Evolved and a new campaign called 'Galaxi...

Difficult as it may be, it's still a really great game. 0
Positive: - excellent graphics - ingeniously clever puzzles and solutions - intuitive use of the Wii remote - great music - Negative: - gets way too hard way too quickly - hints are rarely helpful at all - early frustrations hurt the game's accessibility - Zack & Wiki is considered to be a very overlooked, underappreciated game. I thought I'd give it a rent and see how it is. It's definitely a great, high quality game, but there are some things that make it incredibly frustrating and way too...

Not all great games get sequels. 0
Positive: - great graphics - excellent sound effects and voice acting - animated cutscenes look very nice - controls are sharp and work perfectly - full of lovable personality - dialogue is hilarious every minute of the game - great quality overall - Negative: - a couple annoying camera quirks here and there - Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is definitely an awesome game. With quality around every corner, witty dialogue, great voice acting, excellent graphics and sound, and fun gameplay, Rayman 3 is a t...

Annoying at times, but it's great fun and has 400 missions. 0
Positive: - you'll never run out of things to do - story is nice - very addictive - lots of new jobs and abilities - both screens are used for maximum convenience - new law system is great, but... -Negative: - actual laws range from rediculous to mind-numbingly stupid - other little annoyances here and there that hurt the experience a bit - the graphics look ok but they're not completely upgraded from the GBA - no multiplayer - Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (FFTA) was the defining game for the G...

The online play is bad, but the rest is fully intact and awesome. 0
Good: - excellent, fun gameplay - great new single player mode that you will actually want to play - awesome new characters and stages - best game soundtrack of all time - multiplayer is still a blast - almost everything can be done with 2 player co-op - great graphics, likely the best seen on Wii thus far - LOADED with tons of extra stuff - Bad: - online play is really bad - stage editor is ok, but not something you'll find yourself using much - Super Smash Bros. Brawl has finally arrived, afte...
