Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

March 31, 2006
I bought this for my daughter for her birthday because of the great reviews but we both hate it, If you turn off your machine without saving some Mole comes up next time you play and abuses you making you repeat things like "i'm dumb" and has you going through pages and pages of text telling you off. When we moved into our first town there were neighbours there who were bitchy and cocky. We've only been playing it for a short while but we found nothing appealing about this game at all and would not recommend it to anyone. I also had a problem with the sound it's so low I couldn't hear the fish bite unless I had total silence in the room.

Family Ski (Wii)

from: Nintendo

June 13, 2008
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!

Endless Ocean (Wii)

Don't buy this game if you are under 40! Strictly for non gamers and people who have a resting heart rate of 20bpm. Yawn. I have no clue what the other reviewer are raving about. You basically float around looking at boring fish. It would be more fun if a whale or big shark chased you around a bit. I really wish I had saved my cash!

Sight Training (Nintendo DS)

What a terrible game. A collection of boring mini games, it follows a similar format to brain training but is not nearly as good.

Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (Silver)

from: Nintendo

October 12, 2007
I've had my NDS Lite for about eight months now and have never regretted buying it. I was initially put off with the bulky original DS, but after seeing an NDS Lite thought I would bite the bullet. I also bought an external see through case/skin and a small hard pouch/case to put the nds lite and its peripherals into it. If your going to spend this much money spend a little more to protect your investment. I'm glad I did - Ive dropped this a couple of times onto the floor some time ago (not recommended!), but the hard crystal case/skin (which i bought separately) appears to have saved it.

The NDS Lite itself is incredibly addictive many games use the touch screen stylus and microphone as well as the buttons. I have since played ... Read More:

Tetris DS (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

April 21, 2006
Hi,

I'm not a bad player at Tetris. I liked the original Gameboy version and I actually wrote a faster version in less than a day for an old Psion organiser (remember those?) and called it Turbotris! I used to play my own version of the game but noone else I knew could play it at the fastest settings. The reason I could play so fast was that in the original gameboy version (and my faster remake) I always knew where to put the next piece before I'd dropped the current piece in. This was because the next piece was clearly shown at a convenient eye level next to the playing area so you could see both at the exact same time.

The trouble I have with the DS version (I've only played the wifi 2 player game so far) is that I am playing ... Read More:

Resident Evil 4 (Wii)

from: Nintendo

June 28, 2007
Amazing, 1. Graphics 9/10 sound 10/10(scary) characters 10/10 shooting abilities 9/10 fun or what... 11/10, in my opinion the best game on wii, usually there aren't many good shooting games on wii, but this is simply amazing, I've got a ps3 and xbox 360 and some of the shooting games on them are ok, but resident evil 4 wii edition stands out from all of the other shooting games on ps3 or xbox 360. This is not just a shooting game, this is Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (Wii).

Nintendogs Dalmatian & Friends (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

June 16, 2006
After seeing my child struggle for over 40 minutes to get the nintendo machine to recognise the name she was calling (has to happen more than three times) and allow her to type it in, I felt compelled to warn other parents. It is a shame, its a good game which has been completely killed off by unnecessary voice recognition security. I hope someone from nintendo is listening, I am sure people have returned this game due to this design fault.

Mario Party 8 (Wii)

from: Nintendo

August 03, 2007
Let it be known that this was my first experience of the Mario Party series, so I don't know how it compares to others. My experience with this game is that it's lots of fun, the main games are board game style, turn taking ones, where the aim is usually either to get a certain amount of stars (which are strategically placed around the board), or coins, to buy something from a character hidden in the board game. There are also tons of mini games, and you unlock more as you play. It's a family game, or a game you can play for fun with a group of people (hence the title 'party', hehe). I really enjoy playing it, my one annoyance (and it's a small one), is the presenter's voice, that's all :)
