Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 'All-Play' (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Sports
from: Electronic Arts

August 29, 2008
Tiger Woods 09 is basically a decent all round game. It feels as though you are playing golf. The graphics (for the Wii) are pretty good. You can create your own golfer, jump straight into the game and play as you try to improve your own created player. Where the game does fall down is in the putting. Yes it can be very frustrating, too many people have commented on it for it not to be the case. The constant changing of putter lengths, the continous lipping out or even worse going straight over the hole turning a round of 63 into a 68 can become very annoying, but unfortunately that is just the way it is and yes you can get used to it. All in all a good game that could have, should have been better.

FIFA 09 All-Play (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Sports
from: Electronic Arts

October 03, 2008
Fifa 09 is a great inprovement over last year. The only really problem is that the 8 v 8 Footii is very addictive, and that may not sound like a problem, but you'll hardly ever find yourself on the real football game. The All-Play system is a great addition for beginners as the computer moves for you. That may sound disaterous and if one person is using a nunchuk it can be, but if you're all using wiimotes then it's great fun.

Overall it's a great game. The 8 v 8 is addictive and makes the normal footy seem boring and redundent. 5 star fun rating and 4 star overall because of the boring normal footy.

P.S: If you like to play the normal footy the simple thing to do is avoid 8 v 8 like you would a hunting knife.

If you are new to these sort of skate, ski or surf games like me. This game is for you. It is easy to get into, the instructions are fed to you bit by bit so you can literally jump into it and start smiling. I could'nt believe how perfectly responsive it is. I was even getting a bit of a sweat on do the jumpy bits and when I did make any mistakes I knew it was my fault and needed a bit more practice. The music was good too, there wasn't any embarrasing pop songs on it so I could show my mates in confidence. GREAT FUN! keeps you coming back for more, so you can build youre skills up and get better.

Carnival Funfair Games: Mini Golf (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Sports
from: Take 2 Interactive

October 31, 2008
This game features 9 courses of three holes, each course being themed - wild west, prehistoric, spooky etc. And each course has a trickshot hole (hole in one), and adventure hole, and a challenge hole. Complete all three for par or better and you will be awarded a new putter themed to the course you completed. You can also collect coins which you can spend in the pro shop for themed hats, golf balls etc.

Also hidden on some courses are minigames including ghost shooting, egg collecting and drum beating.

Controls are simple - you aim then waggle the wiimote to increase the power of your shot.

This isn't quite as varied as the original Carnival game, but there is enough variey to ensure many happy hours playing - either ... Read More:

Winter Sports (Wii)

I love wii games, but I'll give this one a miss. We bought the PS2 version of this game a few days ago - it is rubbish! A low-budget effort. Many of the disiplines in this game - such as the figure skating - have you pushing the gamepad buttons to match up with simlilar buttons on the screen, thats all! What that's got to do with winter sports, beats me.

Family Ski (Wii)

from: Nintendo

I have little to add to all the positive reviews - it is quite astonishing how well the atmosphere of a ski resort has been recreated. One point: the default set up for the skis does not reflect how skis work. ie pressure on right ski turns right; if you've even skied once you will know you need to transfer your weight to the left ski to turn right. It is possible to reverse the right/left settings to the correct ones. You need to press buttons 1 & 2 while paused. The pressure monitoring bar changes from blue (incorrect) to pink (correct). Its worth doing this - you don't want to have to unlearn bad skiing habits on a real mountain!

Pro Evolution Soccer (Wii)

The Wii is the only console I own, and I've been pretty happy with the machine so far. I was very excited when I heard PES was coming to the Wii, and the "revolutionary" control system really got my hopes high.

I was very disappointed with the way it turned out. Of course there is a learning curve to it, but even when you grasp it it turns out flat. Video game football is not about "realism". Kick Off, Sensible Soccer and the initial Fifa games were not brilliant because they where accurate representations of the beautiful game, but because they brought the excitement and football feelings to computers.

PES for the Wii is a dull game, disguised as "clever". The Nunchunk shaking is just appalling and the whole moving around of players ... Read More:

Its got good graphics, good atmosphere and good gameplay (once my arms stop hurting I'll play some more). What I think people are complaining about is that you can't memorize all of the special moves combos and 13 button presses to annihilate your opponent in one fell swoop. I don't know about the roster yet as I haven't got miles into the game but I love the controls, I managed to punch, grapple, throw, kick and bounce off the ropes into people, I also managed to pick up a chair! Ok so I didn't manage to hit anyone but I had a good time trying to, and my wife had a good laugh when we went head to head, great entertainment the Wii is really growing in my estimations!
