Chicken Shoot (Wii)

I wish I had read the previous reviews before buying this game. It is terrible. The sooner I can give it away the better. The game play is so slow, I thought the WII was playing up. OK it may appeal to the very young, but I shant be playing it any more. Ask to see a demo in a shop before buying.

Logic3 Fishing Rod with Chrome Reel (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: LOGIC3

I bought the fishing rod to play with Rapala fishing.

The front of the fishing rod obscures view for the wiimote camera.
Because of this you cant navigate Wii menu or even use some function of the game such as putting the fish in your net after you have reeled it in.
Luckily the front piece comes of.

Which leaves only the added functiality of the nunchuk reel.
Turning the Nunchuk on the reel is not easy and does not feel very natural to me.

It is also a real hassle to unplug the nunchuk from the wiimote when installed since your fingers cant reach the nunchuck quick release buttons, I use a pen to do this.

Not recommended.

Go Diego Go - Safari Rescue (Wii)

I got this game for my girls as most of the ones we've got for the PS2 are way above their heads. They enjoy playing it, but get bored after about 10 minutes which is fine by me. At their ages (2 and a half and 3 and a half) I don't want them to play for too long anyway.

It certainly ticks all the boxes for younger kids.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon (Wii)

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

MKA is a welcome addition to the Mortal Kombat Franchise. Having over 60 characters to choose from. There is a character for everyone's liking in the game, so you can play as your favourite character and beat the hell out of everything in the game.

If you get bored of fighting, you can have a go on the Motor Kombat. Choose from 10 characters and race along 5 different tracks.

Using the Wii remote on MKA does take some getting use too. But it features a mode where you can train until you are confident enough in using the Wii remote. If that isn't to your liking, you can easily change to the Gamecube controller or the Classic Controller and enjoy some button bashing.

To get the most out of MKA, you have to ... Read More:

Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WW II (Wii)

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

March 23, 2007
This is a good solid game. The controls (which are configurable) are quite arcade like and not exactly an accurate simulation of flying. Nevertheless, the game is enjoyable. As with any American produced WWII game the dialogue and scene setting are very Americanised, and do lack a little in accuracy. I'm not sure how many American pilots were flying for the RAF in 1939, but I doubt it was very many.

Back to the game, the range of aircraft is good, there is not always much to choose between them in terms of aerodynamics and speed, but you certainly feel the difference in firepower. If anyone has played the excellent Secret Weapons over Normandy on the Xbox or PS2, they will see certain similarities here. Secret Weapons was superior ... Read More:

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End (Wii)

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

May 25, 2007
A really poor atempt of a "game",

GRAPHICS- 4/10
Very unrealistic

STORYLINE- 6/10
I can't really give it a lower score as I only got 1/4 through the game and decided to give up as it was extremely boring.

CONTROLS- 1/10
When buying this game I thought I would be able to swing the remote around and kill people but you have to press buttons. No movements involved at all.

GAME OVERALL- 2/10
Very boring and they could have made it a lot better.

Golden Compass (Wii)

from: Sega

November 30, 2007
By most people's standards, the Golden Compass on Wii would be described as a horrible game, but personally I think it's not all that bad. (Granted, i got it for a budget price...)

Firstly, the graphics are awful, like a blurry 1st-generation ps2 game, and there is absoloutely no excuse for that. The environments are acceptable at some points in the game, but it is the expressionless and blocky characters which make the game frustrating to look at.

The gameplay won't win any awards either, since most of the time, you are just fetching items, jumping on platforms, or playing shallow 2d minigames. Thankfully, the wii's motion sensing controls do make some of the gameplay bareable, and pumelling through hordes of witches and wolves ... Read More:
