You're no Wendy Koopa fan. By that image she's just another Toilet Princess.

I keep revisiting hoping to see impressions. But I get buried in friend code swapping.

you mean gamestop special edition ??

It didn't come in a sleeve like I thought, or the normal one ??

I've already given some impressions, but do you have any questions Pro?

Its funny, I keep seeing reviews where the games are being compared to coutnerparts on other systems. The Conduit (see on topic) is no stranger to this either. Every review I see, I have always seen comparisons to other systems. It is a shame too, but at least we all know the real dirt is in the experience and not the reviews, but still it would be nice to see a review given on the games merits rather than saying something like "theres not much new here if you have played (insert game here and system) a game in your life" and so on .. ohz wellz.

so tell, those of you who get to play this at the moment... what are the multiplayer character selects like?

Did anybody get the agent holding the gun (aka ugly) cover?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1638 on:** June 25, 2009, 12:34:54 AM »

The multiplayer characters are:

Snake Eyes
Intel Bunny Suit
Iron Grenadier
Praying Mantis

and special Gamestop unlockable: Tommy Lee Jones with a gas mask. (The unlock code is at GameFAQs)

ShyGuy · « **Reply #1639 on:** June 25, 2009, 12:35:26 AM »

The game tosses you into the action and story pretty quickly. I do enjoy how the story is presented and the hidden ways you get story by radio or TV that might be on. I stopped a few times to just listen. I tend to enjoy the voice acting in the game. The level design is fairly strait forward and linear but yet I am not bored. The story about aliens attacking maybe cliche but I very much enjoying fighting around Washington DC landmarks, something is cool about fighting aliens near the jefferson monument . The graphics are as advertised and I am very impressed by my Wii . It has a clean smooth look, it doesn't WOW YOU BUT I do manage to impress and feel better than majority of games. The controls can be tweaked but the problem is trying to find what's right for you. I got used to Metroid Prime 3 aiming controls and those are too slow for this game. Tweaking look and bounding box is going to take time to find whats best for me.

The online mode plays smooth. I haven't had a problem with it, but my Router is on the same table as my Wii so I am probably getting the excellent speed without having LAN adapter connection. I don't have Wiispeak, but I do have skype and my PC monitor is working as my TV for this game so I can use skype at same time as I play the game. The only problem in online is that I don't know the maps and people online so far are fairly good. The game only released today and already getting owned. I haver had any problems with the connection or choppyness and I have played several players online. I am not sure if 12 but a solid 8 to say the least.

So far I am very happy with this purchase. The fact it released in summer is perfect too since I have time to play it and enjoy online.

Well this is the Wii's Summer Online Blockbuster.

If this game doesn't make the Top20 for June NPD I will be surprised(it did release late in the month).
And if word of mouth keeps up, I can see a Top 10 appearance for July also.

I am a Nintendo only player. Never played Halo or much FPS games outside of Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark, goldeneye, and time splitters so I hate how reviewers assume such things. My friend Tim and Sam have a 360 and they NEVER play online. They might download something from time to time, but they don't have time to play online. People just assume if you got a 360 you are online addicted gamer, but that's not true for everyone. I have played Halo but I don't own it or played single player. Most people only have one console and don't play videogames for a living so they don't play EVERY game released.

That's gamestop exclusive and they only carry those editions. Buy it anywhere else and you will get the 'normal boxart' without the art booklet.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #1644 on:** June 25, 2009, 12:52:10 AM »

there is an art booklet? I better go check inside my game case.

The last time a Nintendo console tried to have a premiere mature game June release was June 2002 - Eternal Darkness on GameCube.

This is a very different June, indeed.

It did happen once or twice to Lindy and one of the other guys I played with. But it never once froze for me and the very little lag I experienced was negligeble. I was only disconnected once from a game.

WiiSpeak can be an issue with some odd echo effects where things will be successively picked up by each others WiiWpeaks. Also charging certain guns makes for some really annoying and irritating noises.

It might be best to try and move the microphone closer to you and away from your TV. I also had trouble hearing anyone else talking.

Maybe somebody could answer this question: How violent is this game? I know it is rated "T" so there can't be any gore in it, but is there any blood?

BwrJim! · « **Reply #1649 on:** June 25, 2009, 01:39:38 AM »

Ahh, eternal darkness.. I ran a game store a few years back, they never could sell that game, I got in, and had to pull in every copy from all the other stores.. sold out ever since. love that game.. play it at Halloween i do, and Killer Inst. on new years eve too.. somehow they ended up being holiday playing titles for me.. odd.. ohz well. May the conduit have legs.. long enough to sell that engine!
