Guides
I decided to start up three new games before I leave for college at the end of the month. Since these are my sisters games i couldn't have taken them to college so i figured i would just play them now.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz-WII
This game is pretty close to being horrible. The controls are really frustrating as well as the leval design and the boss fights. There are 8 single player stages with each stage taking 20 minutes max to complete. So far I have gotten stuck on the 2nd stage boss for a good 20 minutes alone and that isnt right considering teh rest of teh stage only took 8 minutes to complete. The Wii controls are often praised in this game but overall the controls are hard to grasp and very inaccurate. The graphics are decent but nothing special here. the frustration leval of teh game combined with wonky controls are really turning me off to it. There are a large number of 4 player party minigames as well here but so far only a handful have been worth playing, and some of teh minigames are actually really good. So far 4/10 or 2/5 stars
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games-DS
Well it is olympic season so i figured why not. I wasn't expecting much from this game but let me tell you i am pleasently surprised. Most all of the olympic events are playable here but instead of star athletes you get to play as mario's crew and sonic's crew. Overall there are 16 charecters. I have played the game for about 5 hours since last night and I could say I am pretty addictied to it. Alot of teh games are an absolute blast to play such as 400m runs and even fencing. What I really like about this game is that there is a crazy amount of depth to the game in the form of unlockable trophies, medals, emblems, and crowns. I am really enjoying this game. 8.5/10 or 4/5 stars
Elite Beat Agents-DS
This game is a mixed bag. First off it is a music rhythem game in the style of guitar hero but played with the ds touch screen. The game only has 19 songs which is pretty lame, but teh fun gameplay saves this game a bit. Well it is fun until you get to the last song and then it stops being fun. I breezed through the game in 1 and a half hours, and then I got to teh last song in the game which took 3 hours in itself to beat. So lets see 3 minute song goes into 180 minutes equals 60 failed attempts before i was able to get it. This mind you was on the easiest difficulty, and I just started hard which is a little more difficult but nothing drastic yet. Fun game drastically taken down by 1 stupid ending song. 7.0/10 or 3.5/5 stars
