while they did an excellent job of working in the wii's unique characteristics with fishing and prospecting, they missed a whole avenue to make the wii designed sims' games as popular as their pc
i have played virtually every sims game since the original simcity game, and i think mysims fits nicely into the series.
in my opinion this is a great game if you want a change of pace from the original sims games.
gameplay- my sims has totally different gameplay than the original sims games, but is similar in different ways.
it's nice to see all of the old nintendo characters that i remember from the original nintendo system but i think it's even more fun to use your mii.
for those who remember the original mario bros and the original sonic the hedgehog and how much fun it was to play those games.
we also try to find games that are structured around the unique wii experience.
i guess i am just an oldy but i like the original marios better than this.
which is unique to the wii console.
wacky humor and great feeling controls make it a very unique experience for 1-4 people!
funnier and more hilarious than ever so it doesn't feel like just a remake or better version than version 1, especially as none of the games we have played so far were replays of the original ones.
i haven't played the original rayman raving rabbids so i can't compare it to that, but this one is definitely a lot of fun.
the game is more complex than the original and the story is not as linear.
of course, each minigame is at least somewhat unique, so it'd be impossible to properly review them all.
i am giving it 4 stars because i do think that this game is very original.
not only that, but it all feels pretty natural, as well as being perfectly suited to the wii controller for a unique experience.
i will admit when i originally picked up this game i was skeptical of how fun it would be.
while i have not yet played the single player mode, my entire family, including my mother who has not played a video game since tetris for the original gameboy, played the multi-player mode for hours.
the unique thing about boom blox, is that the physics are amazing.
it goes so far above and beyond what we saw in the original two releases, and the game itself, as i stated at the beginning, is a true classic video game.
for any parents of younger kids looking to buy a game that the adults can play too (especially those whose last video game system has asteroids or the original donkey kong- you know who you are).
if you haven't played the original star wars legos series (based on the episodes i-iii and iv-vi.) you will love it!
i had the original x-box versions and i played both of the starwars games on it.
i original bought this for my two 6yo boys as the game doesn't require much reading at all.
the world racing league and over 15 major characters from the movie are available to unlock and use on original race courses and film course reproductions.
this is similar to mario kart in that each driver really does feel unique.
all tracks are unique, some more fun, and easier than others.
also the different characters have unique moves with strengths and weaknesses to make game play continuously interesting.
i think this is a worthy upgrade to the original clash of ninja revolution for wii.
there is also a new tag-team mode which allows unique moves between some characters.
i actually find this game more enjoyable than the grand theft auto series (although gta iv looks pretty amazing), because the universe is so much more quirky and unique.
first let me begin by saying that this game is by far more original and entertaining than any other game i have played on the wii as of 02-05-09.
if you like games with tons of freedom and a great story and you haven't played the original bully, buy this.
i originally got it for my psp and quickly became hooked!!!
start making rope and twine early, they have lots of uses, like the sewing kit, which if fabricated early enough can save your original outfits from permanent disrepair (jeans will remain shorts if
this is a perk for two reasons: you can use them to gather resources (depending on the job you select for them) while you're working on a goal your own sim; and if your original sim's meters are low
overall, the sound track is pretty decent, with pop songs spanning several decades, however most of the songs aren't covered by the original artists and i personally would have preferred the original
sometimes i don't feel like playing with the wii remotes and it's very simple to just turn off that option to make it more like the original ddr games.
there is a 10-stage mode for the solo player to beat which results in unlocking original songs, stages, character outfits, and workout plans.
they have some cool songs like "clocks" (originally coldplay), "1 2 step" "too little too late" "right round (like a record)" "99 red balloons" and a lot of older songs.
i just wish i could get the original dance pad as the second one, the one i did get is not as good and does not seem to react as well.
all the videos are video clips from american idol, not of the original artist.
he really had to work hard for points in the original karaoke revolution, but not this one.
you can clothe them slightly differently, but this is totally unlike the ps2 version, where you can choose an exact body type and save the unique character.
my only complaint about this game is that you can't (so far) download new songs...and its sometimes harder to sing the songs b/c the people who they get to sing dont sound anything like the original
is similar to other race games-you use acquired weapons and try to smash up other vehicles (and win, of course!)- the concept of the robot/animal/insect as vehicles puts a really unique spin on it.
all these problems are gone in excitebots and replaced with uniqueness, originality and absolutely flawless online play.
excitebots is a unique creature.
the unique bots are cool, but going off road seems to not make a difference.
the great thing about it is that while the basic concept is similar to other race games-you use acquired weapons and try to smash up other vehicles (and win, of course!)- the concept of the
i originally rented this game and after playing it online i decided to spend the money and buy it.
however, this game manages to stick out because of its unique control system and competitve online play.
being a fan of the fps genre since the early 90's with the original wolfenstein and doom, i've never felt at home playing these types on a gamepad.
i originally got this game without knowing how simplistic it was.
nintendo has really thought out a lot of these type of games, and, with the unique wireless aspect of playing the wii, it really adds to the game play.
all in all, while hard core music video gamers are more aniticapated for the releases of rock band 2 and guitar hero: world tour for the wii, wii music is a unique musical experience for young and
unlike other music games, where the best possible outcome is something that sounds exactly like the original, the best outcome in wii music is something that gives a new perspective on an old tune.
i played around with each one, figuring out the unique aspects, figuring out what each button on the wiimote did for each instrument.
they were very similar to the original games i use to play as a kid.
as with the original versions, these are more fun when played in a group, but they also work well in one-player mode.
the port of sorry is a little easier to play than the original (they deal out 5 cards, and you can choose to play one of them), and that works better than the original for my kids.
although, it's like playing the original board cames, the user interface "bites" big time.
connect four is really the only one that is true to the spirit of the original game - i guess there's not a whole lot that could be changed with that one!
it's silly and an interesting twist on the original.
we originally bought this for our ds and the girls loved it.
the xbox version comes with the original also.
to access the original spy hunter, type "ogspy" for your player name in the player entry screen.
this game had poor graphics and no originality.
