Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Sega

March 02, 2007
This was one of my first Wii games, and it isn't bad either! There's Sonic only gameplay to be expected here, so some who hated the abundance of other characters will really like it. However this game is completely on-rails, which makes it very different from other Sonic games. Also, there's a whole Arabian feel to it, and the levels reflect this. The music and graphics are very nice, and Party mode is fun and hilarious. There's also a Special book where, by completing certain missions, you get concept art, music, medals and more! I'd say this game is definitely better than Sonic 06 by far.

That doesn't mean it hasn't got its fair share of flaws though. Most of these are that Shahra, the character who gives you hints and such, gets ... Read More:

I brought this product a couple of weeks ago, a friend of 27 recommended it for me however I'm 19 and felt it was a bit childish, so i lent it to my friends children who are 5 and 10 and they loved it, the one of 5 found it a little challenging and frustrating but it kept them quite for ages. would definitely recommend it for child

Boogie (Wii)

I was overjoyed to get this game, being a huge lover of kareoke and dancing and thought it would be fantastic. I had it for one night and sold it immediately (thanks Amazon).

Although I did have fun (most likely assisted by copious amounts of wine)! I found the game highly irritating because:

You have to go through a long and boring tutorial initially.

Making the character dance just involves wiggling your hand with the remote and messing about with the nunchuck. Since I clearly couldn't do this with a mike in my hand we had one person singing and one dancing.

There is is a very limited selection of cover songs, of which only a handful are good/recognisable.

You can unlock other songs if you are a ... Read More:

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WW II (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Ubisoft

March 23, 2007
I Have to say I bought this game with high expectations and was not disapointed, not only are the campaign levels easily playable with great graphics but the standalone games and multiplayers are completly addictive. I took this game round a mates house who was a little skeptical about it we played into the wee hours of the morning he is now ordering his own copy.

I have to say to any gamers who like WWII games you will love this hell if you love gaming you'll love this. My advice if you own a Wii own this game.

It's not possible to recharge Wii Remotes without removing Skinz. I have found this annoying. Otherwise it keeps everything together and recharges wii remotes quickly

Rayman: Raving Rabbids 2 (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Ubisoft

November 16, 2007
This game lacks the storyline of the first Raving Rabbids. It's lots of mini-games - some are silly and VERY short, whilst others are really great fun. I like the Bumper cars game (especially if you have more than one wiimote and therefore more of your friends can play against you) and I like the music ones whereby you have to move the wiimote and nunchuck in time with the music (Funky Town, Satisfaction by Rolling Stones, Smoke on the water to name but a few). It's definitely worth spending £15 to get this game. You will find it fun no matter what age you are.

Nintendo Wii Classic Controller (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Nintendo

December 08, 2006
So I was around a friends house and I saw he had one of these snazzy controllers and I had had a bad experience with the unofficial wii gamecube controller clones (the cables are *really* short*...) so I thought I'd get one of these babies.

So I've just received my order and fired up my copy of Resident Evil 1 ready for some thrills and spills and to my absolute dismay it does not work with Gamecube games.

Now this I hardly believe is a technical problem I think Nintendo engineered it NOT to work because you'd get all the great cheap gamecube games and play them and not as many Wii games.

Thankfully I've got a few controllers ordered off of Ebay so it's not a total wash out but I am really disappointed that this doesn't work. The reason it ... Read More:

Medal Of Honor: Heroes 2 (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Electronic Arts

February 08, 2008
I bought this game after reading positive reviews for it on Amazon.
Despite some novel weaponary and interesting backgounds, you'll quickly find the gameplay limiting. The most obviously flawed area, is that when you're injured you just need to hide for a few seconds and your health magically restores itself. This coupled with the fact that the game is far too short, means that it is very easy to complete.
If you're after a first person shooter, buy Resident Evil 4 instead. If you can get past the whole 'zombie' thing, you'll find the gameplay much more involving and fun.
Time will tell if the new 'Call of Duty' or 'Brothers in Arms' will improve on this or not, but at the moment RE4 is the game to beat.

Nintendo Wii Component Cable (PEGA, Boxed) [video game]

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: PEGA


These cables are great value, and they're exactly the same thing that Nintendo would charge you £20 for!

For those of you who have seen an Xbox 360 or PS3 in HD on a HDTV might be disapointed however, since, whilst these cables are not at fault, the Wii itself is.

The Wii will not display at 720p/1080i/1080p (HDTV resolutions) but will in fact only display at 480i/576i (standard definition) or 480p (enhanced definition). Whilst there is a significant difference when compared to the composite cables (red white and yellow) there is not much difference to be made if you are already using an S-Video cable or Scart cable.

MySims (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Electronic Arts

September 20, 2007
I bought the DS version and was instantly addicted and when I received a Wii for christmas i bought it for the wii as well.
I thought it was addictive on the DS but its 10 times more addictive on the Wii, so much to do and you get to build stuff and really make the town come back to life with new charectors in the hotel everyday.
The only problem was that it ended. Cant they create a never ending My Sims?
Highly recommended for all Sims fans at all ages :)
