Be Excellent To Each Other

Yo!

I used that ol' Lovefilm trial thing and rented Trauma Center: Second Opinion and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

SSBB's Subspace Emissary mode is absolutely bollocks. You can't see anything, you can't do anything. The same (ugly, boring) enemies turn up over and over again. They didn't put in any dialogue either, so I'm not really sure what is happening. My bros and I only played it to unlock Snake (that's 42% of SE, which took 4 hours).

The rest of SSBB is Smash Bros. again. Again. Except, once again, the increased character detail makes telling them apart from the more detailed backgrounds quite difficult. The game is stuck between showing you enough of the character so you know what you're currently doing, and showing you enough of the level so you know what you should do next. The Final Smashes are also pants.

Trauma Center: SO is just like Trauma Center on the DS, except you have to use the remote and nunchuk, which I find difficult to hold for any length of time. (Which is probably why I thought Super Mario Galaxy wasn't much fun. (Apart from the bad music and the bad graphics and the bad levels. BAD.)) I still won it though, but I'm not going to play it again.

TC is still as tense as hell, but it seems like you can tell whether you're going to win or lose based on how the first thirty seconds of an operation goes. (Especially the X missions. You're either in the zone enough, or you're not.)

I'm still glad I don't have one of these things.

but you want RMD? loved endless ocean, boguht it becuas eit was cheap, but would make a nice rent, as would monkey ball & tabel tennis
(especially in these olympics week)

Monkey Ball on the wii is an abomination under god.

My recommendation for a rental - Kororinpa!

The single player game is pretty good - it's the party games that are dire.

Kororinpa
Excite Truck
Endless Ocean
Smooth Moves
Boom Blox (Justifies the wiimote by itself)
Eledees (Fisher Price Half Life 2)

Ah, thanks. That's all I need to know about the gameplay in order to avoid playing the game forever.

Remember that he didn't like Mario Galaxies, though.

Do you mean 'Super Mario Galaxy'? I've never heard of the game 'Mario Galaxies'.

Well that's not surprising.

no more heroes

Both were rubbish anyway.

I like Subspace Emissary. I have no idea what you mean by "can't see anything, can't do anything". You run round stages, jump on platforms and kill things, all the while picking up new trophies and stickers. It's ace. Especially the maze at the end.

I really like the rest of the game, too.

definitely Excite truck, which is my fav game on the wii after guitar hero 3 and res evil 4.

Is eledees any good?

no, it smells like jizz

But at least keep it until this comes out next year!

Has anyone played the Wii Harvest Moon game? Mrs Squirt played the Gameboy one to death, but somehow they managed to break it on the Gamecube. If it's any good I'll probably get it.

I'm sure (according to the NGamer review) that the Wii Harvest Moon is just a port of one of the GC Harvest Moons, and not tarted up in any way. Their review wasn't favourable...

It's a port of the second GC Harvest Moon game, that never reached these shores on the GC.

It's a really shoddy port by all accounts, with GC buttons left in some of the text and stuff.

But, then, all Harvest Moon games are horrible buggy.

And this!
