Should of been worked on more

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 10 May 2008 08:17 (A review of Rockstar Presents Table Tennis)

Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis was a hit title for the XBOX 360 and what a great idea to use the Wii control system and brings this game on Wii.
The graphics to the game are pretty good the Table Tennis players are very detailed which is important along with the courts they look good for the Wii.

Well if you are left handed like myself you will have problems why Rockstar Games only made it for right handers it's beyond a joke. There is not just right handed people who want to play you know instead Rockstar Games are been biased.

The worst part that i find annoying in this game is you swing to take your shot and about 8 - 10 seconds later it takes the shot but Wii Sports Tennis done it straight away i hate having to wait takes the good feeling of the game away.

The music to the game is decent it's really dance music but it's reasonable to be on here. The game is a little easy just a shame on the controls and it only been right handed.

This could of been a good game but seems as it was rushed what a shame and a waste after paying £29.99 for this well during October 2007 the price should of been lowed still.

This could of been better

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 10 May 2008 08:10 (A review of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz)

Super Monkey Ball on the Wii is rather awkward you use your Wii remote to move around it gets tricky. The graphics are great better then what it was like in the Gamecube version.

The Wii nunchuck should of been used in the main game it would of made it less confusing. With another add to this game there are boss stages this becomes annoying with bad camera angles which will cause you to fall over the edge.

The mini games are boring and the stupid thing is you cannot pause the game while your playing or you can reset your Wii. Even if your bored of the game you can't leave unless you finish the mini game this is the same in the main mode.

Banana Blitz though is still better then what Super Monkey Ball Adventure had to offer. The game is alright takes a while getting used to but if you want a good control system stick with the Gamecube version. Since buying this game I have only played it 2 times I wount play it again it's annoying me.

My Favorite game on the VC

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 9 May 2008 07:05 (A review of Donkey Kong Country)

When you look at other other game from the SNES and Mega Drive/Genesis era there is one for me that shines through any game and this is it Donkey Kong Country.

The graphics of this game are brilliant for how long ago this was its amazing. Every bit of music in the game is fantastic thats another thing great about these games. Sonic The Hedgehog is a good game but not as good and addictive as Donkey Kong Country Series. The game lets you do so much like ride on rhinos, play as a dolphin and more.

Alot of people should know this game it was developed by British company Rare was then known as Rareware. I did used to own the game back on the SNES but got rid of it I missed playing this classic.

This game is 800 points on the Wii shopping channel buy this and Diddy's Kong Quest you wont be disappointed you will get your moneys worth out of them.

I miss this game

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 9 May 2008 06:42 (A review of Space Channel 5)

This game was great I still own the game just forgot where I put it. This game is fun I was ashamed to own it at first as me thinking it's a girls game it's not I like it who cares it's fun thats all that matters.

I really found it hard but addictive it has to be one of my favorite games to come on the Sega Dreamcast.

Fun game even if you hate Tennis

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 9 May 2008 06:36 (A review of Sega Superstars Tennis)

I was surprised at how good this game is very fun even if your not a fan of Tennis the game offers quite a bit of stuff to do.

This was developed by Sumo Digital a company in Sheffield, England which the game was only published by Sega.

The game has it's normal Tennis mode but also has special mini games based on Sega's games such as Space Harrier, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5, Sonic The Hedgehog, Chu Chu Rocket, House of the Dead, Super Monkey Ball, Virtua Cop

Each of these special mini games have different things so let me explain them yeah and you can play as anyone in the game on the stages.

Sonic The Hedgehog - This one sees you collecting rings and dodging balls with spikes.

Virtua Cop - This one you use your racket and tennis ball to knock down the bad guys.

House of the Dead - Use your racket and tennis ball to knock out the zombies.

I don't need to go on more just this is a really good game which does look impressive for the DS. All i can say now is I wish this was out on PSP.

Not impressed this is boring

Posted : 1 year, 6 months ago on 9 May 2008 06:27 (A review of Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends)

Cooking Mama shes weird the game is all about cooking I don't see what is so good about this game if you want to cook so bad go into a real kitchen. The only good thing about the game is it's safe for kids. The game is boring nothing happens and I think its a pure waste. Cooking Mama really annoys me her voice gets on my nerves they did'nt even bother to dub it in English they just kept her voice in Japanese. As for the music it is very bad.

Here is what you do in the game crack eggs open, make a pizza so much fun yeah right. This is the first time playing cooking mama makes me glad I never bought this on my Wii. What a waste of your life if you enjoy this so bad do real cooking or if you can't learn to cook. Good job i never bought the game just using emulators to try out DS games.

What a Masterpiece

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 2 May 2008 09:57 (A review of No More Heroes)

No More Heroes is a great game even though this game is censored and has no blood annoying very much. This game though is still awesome it has cool fights, you can do jobs such as lawn mowing, collecting coconuts, collecting garbage and the Wii controls make this fun. You get this cool light saver to kill your enemies. You can drive around on your bike.

This is a great game a classic Wii title even though it is censored with no blood don't be put off buy it, its weird, crazy and funny also entertaining. The fighting is known to be faster in this version due to the blood missing.
By the way if people never knew this Ubisoft own Rising Star games just to let people know. I found it annoying how people were complaining to Rising Star Games they gave us the Japanese version which is the original i would be happy about it as quite a few Japanese games never make it out of the country.

I would of liked to have seen blood but deal with it and if people of such a bit problem with it buy a freeloader and import it, but me i don't care i am pretty much happy with what i have this version as i said is still great.
Last thing i have to laugh when Travis says bloodbath no blood its just black dust that comes out. I want a No More Heroes 2 great game for the Wii any owner over 16 should get it but beware this does contain a lot of bad language.

Clay Fighters

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 19 April 2008 11:32 (A review of Clay Fighter)

Clay Fighters i never liked the fighting was just to silly plus when you had games during that time like Killer Instant, Street Fighter 2 there the better games. Clay Fighters is slow annoying and the graphics are bad. The characters really annoy me the most apart from the snowman which appears to be the only decent one the game has to offer.

Scary and good fun

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 19 April 2008 11:28 (A review of Clock Tower)

I am not sure if this came out in the UK or US because i never seen it so i had the chance to play this with an emulator. The game was in Japanese so i had a little bit of an hard time to play this. This game i like but i found it hard and a little scary you play as girl in this house and your friends go missing you have to find them then you find weird stuff going on in the house which you have to solve.

Nothing like the show

Posted : 1 year, 7 months ago on 19 April 2008 11:25 (A review of Home Improvement)

If you like Home Improvement then here is a video game you may hate you play as Tim the tool man Taylor. Tim's tools have been stolen now Tim must get them back but whats in your way non other then dinosaurs. Come on this is Home Improvement suppose to be DIY family show but then comes this with dinosaurs what a silly idea for the SNES this is terrible. I like Home Improvement the show was great during it's time but this game sucks.
