the wii
« on: January 18, 2008, 12:55:59 PM »
[rant]
i bought a wii for xmas and i must admit am not impressed with it. was ok for about 2days at the most.

the wii sports is about the best game for the bloody thing and it tens to get abit boring after a while (although it will never get old when u ave a few mates around)

i found the games to be abit under done and just fired out on to the shelves.

mabey am just comparing to the pc games that have a higher quality of games. kind of wish i had bought the ps3 now. i no a few of the lads on here have a wii, does everyone feel the same way?

games i got were.
zelda ( cheap music and all subtitled no voice overs ) sent it back load of shite!
mario party ( dont get me started)
red steel  ( seems good but the aiming is abit slugish (for fps def use a pc)  am ok with this game but my 1337 skillz make it too easy. sword fighting is kinda kool

resident evil 4: seems ok  but the camera movement sucks and you have to move camera with analog stick and not the wee remote

tbh for the 300quid i payed for this the graphics suck and most of the games dont even bother to try and look half good.

meh!

anyone no anything good about this  and cheer me up  lol  :spam:

Wan there Wario!

The Wii is teh w1n. 

Haven't played Zelda, so I don't know that much about it, looks good in terms of gameplay though.

Super Mario Galaxy is a fantastic 3d platformer/puzzler in sp or two player.

[TiG]Boru: Smooth Moves is a great party game, showing off use of the controller in new ways.

Agree with Red Steel, about 4 hours worth of play before you get pissed off with a bug-fest of a game.

Camera angles on the Res Evil games were always rubbish, (Oh, there's a zombie... maybe I should shoot him, better get into this corner... wow, nice wallpaper.. now if I could just stop it from filling the entire screen... oh fsck, I'm dead.)  I doubt that's limited to the Wii tbh.

Heard good things about the Metroid Prime game too.

The Wii is designed for you and yer mates to have a laugh on while chilling out, or for yer ma/gf/grandad to have a go of and enjoy, intuitive and simple games.  It's not designed for ultra high spec gfx or a platform for the latest PC game ports and run of the mill brand licensed FPS (although it has it's share by now - cha-ching!), but as a new gaming experience for your living room.  Nintendo have to be commended for making such a unique system, especially at half or a third the cost of the competitors.

It's not everyones hardcore gaming fix, but if you bought one expecting it to be anything other than it is, then just bring it back.  ( or sell it next Christmas for twice what you paid!   one of the biggest gifts for Xmas two years in a row, don't think I remember that happening before with a product).


Also, Endless Ocean is deadly, there I said it....  *cough*

Hello, and jeebus, if you bought the Wii for it's graphics, man you got suckered. It was well known that the graphics would suck.

Mario Galaxy = Awesome.
Guitar Hero 3 = Awesome (as with it on all platforms)
