Wii Game Reviews (July ’08 Edition)
I was reading through some old blog posts and I came along this, and I wondered why I didn’t do that more often, because since then I’ve played many more Wii Games.
As usual my opinions are not facts, and I’m mainly writing this to kill my own time and not necessarily for anyone’s reading enjoyment (especially since these games came out a long time ago, and you’ve probably already read reviews for them).
Wii Play
6.2/10
The best thing about this game is that it comes with an extra Wii-Mote. The cow-racing is amusing, and the Tanks are addicting. This is the kind of game that I still break out every month or so, just to kill an hour or two. (I think I only played “Pose Mii” once.)
Super Mario Galaxy
9.5/10
This is currently my favorite Wii game. I didn’t think they could improve much on Super Mario 64, but this game proves that theory very wrong. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I enjoy everything about this game, down to the background music. It’s the perfect level of difficulty.
The Simpsons Game
7.9/10
On one hand this game has pretty good gameplay, and on the other hand it’s hilarious (especially the video game cliches). The problem with this game is that there are some irritating camera angles and the controls are difficult to master.
Super Paper Mario
8.5/10
A great return to the sidescroller with a modern twist. I was cautious about buying this, because from what I’d seen of the previous Paper Marios, I didn’t think I’d like it, but this game is way better than those. The suspense of the storyline is enough to keep me coming back for more.
