Reader Reviews / Wario Ware Smooth Moves

« on: June 29, 2007, 12:01:45 PM »

Wario Ware Smooth Moves

Story: Wario Ware Smooth Moves begins with Wario discovering the Form Baton (Wii Remote)
and uses it to complete mini games. The game continues with min games with basic Wario Ware
characters.

Gameplay: Single player mode only takes about 4 hours to beat, and about 10 hours to collect every single mini game. There are a little over 10 story missions and many bonus stages. There are also expanded versions of the mini games available for play, and some games for play that don't relate to any of mini games. Multyplayer mode however is my favorite part of the game. It can host more then 4 players which makes things very hectic. Multyplayer mode also has some 2 player only games. EX: (Bungee Buddies)

Sound: Wario Ware Sounds are nice but not wonderful. It is nice that the game offers a sound studio where you canplay any of the music tracks from each set of mini games. In the sound studio you can conduct like you can do in theupcoming Wii Music. The music is okay but probably could have been much better for this type of game.

Control: Wario Ware features many different control styles with many motion controls. Just to list some, you can holdthe remote like a TV remote, You can also hold the wii remote like a drinking glass, You can hold the Wii remote up to yournose, Or even hold the Wii remote like a steering wheel. These are just a few of the many ways to hold the Wii Remote. Eventually you can attach the Balancing Stone (Nunchuck). There are 3 different forms to hold the Wii remote and Nunchuck combined. Before you start each mini game the screen will tell you which way to hold the Wii remote, so you will have to be paying attention to complete each mini game effectively.

Lastibility: This is a game that you can pick up and play at any time. You always can try to beat your old high score. The multi player is also great for party's or just when you have one friend over. So this is a game that you can pick up at anytime and play for about half an hour and make alot of progress or have alot of fun.

Pros:
+ A game you can pick up and play whenever.
+ Fun Mini games with good use of the control.
+ Great Multi player mode hosting more then 4 players.

Cons:
- Could have done better with the Sound.

Final Score: 8.5/10

Reader Reviews / Super Paper Mario

« on: June 29, 2007, 06:59:24 AM »

2-D now 3-D What else can Paper Mario Do.

Gameplay: Super Paper Mario an adventure game that brought back the original mario style. Just as the original Mario games, Super Paper Mario is a side scrolling adventure game. You start the game as Mario who is called to save Princess Peach. Of course Mario's first assumption is that Bowser has kidnapped her, but that is not the case. Peach was kidnapped by notorious Count Bleck who plans to destroy the worlds. You are joined by small creatures called pixls who can help you with small tasks. EX: Grabbing objects, Smashing objects, and making you move faster.

Sound: The music fits each level or stage very well. EX: When in Outer space it plays eerie, spooky music. Music is often lively and makes you want to just sit you character down and listen to the song. If they made a soundtrack for the game I would highly suggust it.

Control: Even though you do not use the nunchuck, the control is quite fun. You hold the remote on its side and use the D-Pad to move and the 2 button to jump. You also use the 1 button to use your pixls. When both 1 & 2 are pressed simultaneously you can bring up a interface used to swap in different pixls or characters. Motion controls in this game are very limited. When you point at the TV with the remote you can select an object and a pixl (Tippi) will identify it for you. Also when you hit an enemy you can flick the Wii remote upward to gain points.

Lastibility: The games continuous puzzles help you stay interested in the game. The levels goals may be similar but the level design changes every time holding new surprises everywhere. Once you beat the game twice you may have to sit it down for a couple of months before you can become interested in it.

Final Score: 9/10: Recommended buyGameplay

Reader Reviews / Elebits

« on: June 28, 2007, 02:30:25 PM »

Their Small and Look Like Pikmin. Elebits.

A game with everything every a 10 year old kid would want. Destuction and a whole lot of it.

Game Play: Elebits is a simple level base game with the goal of collecting elebit (little electric producing creatures)
When u collect them u gain watts. In each level you need a certain amount of watts to energize objects
around the room and eventually enought to procede to the next level. There are also other objectives such
as "Do not break 7 objects in the room".

Sound: Most of the levels come with their own music. After you unlock this music you are able to play it
in any of the levels you have completed or will be completing. The sound is unique and some songs can be enjoyable.
but none are worth a 10 out of 10.

Control: The control scheme is simple. The A or B button is used to throw furniture and capture elebits. With the
Nunchuck attached the control stick is used to to move around the rooms, the C button allows you to stretch so u can see higher and the Z button crouches to see underneath shelves etc...

Lastibility: The game can last you a long time if you enjoy chasing little creatures that cause you to destroy rooms of a house. But the game can get quite repetitive from chasing Elibits over and over again. Different modes that you can unlock for each level make the game more interesting, But some of these
also get repetitive because the level does not change.

Overall it is a game that you can take your anger out on. I recommend you rent it. But it is not worth the $50.

Final Score: 6/10

« on: June 04, 2007, 10:55:08 AM »

At least every other week i will try to write a review for a Virtual Console game. I will try to do more but i can not promise anything. I hope this will help many of you learn about which VC games to buy if NWR review does not already help. So in the next two days i will be posting a review for Mario Kart 64.
Future posts will be about more recent ones.
Each review will consist of 3 parts. Gameplay. Control with new controller. And just overall pro's and con's. Then I will submit a final rating.

If you would like to also rate a VC game that i have not send me a PM with ur review and i will post it with ur name on it as credibility.

I will be posting a list of reviews which are still needed.
Reviews a personally call for myself are: Kid Icarus
                                                               Kirby's Adventure
                                                               Mario Kart 64

NWR Feedback / VC

« on: June 04, 2007, 09:14:43 AM »

To all the NWR staff i would just like to suggest a new forum category strictly for VC games. With this, all of us could talk about the newest releases and just rate them ourselves and help others if they need help. This is just a suggestion that i think could be interesting and new to all of us forum users.

                                                                                                                                                     Patchkid15
