6 in 1 Sports Accessory Pack (Wii)

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

December 05, 2007
I have to disagree with most of the other reviews on this product. I have not yet encounted any problems with parts flying off! Maybe the other reviews were merely being too agressive with product?
I received this product for Christmas (along with my wii) and have been very pleased with it. It makes 'game play' a lot more interesting and realistic.
The only bad points I have are:
1. you have to remove the attachment to select what you want to play and then attach it again when you want to play (this has not yet been a major problem for me)
2. I don't really need the extra strap and crystal case but it's good to have them anyway as spares!

To conclude, this is a product worth buying and will add a lot more fun ... Read More:

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (Wii)

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

December 07, 2007
I'll keep this short and simple.
This game is poor, a pathetic attempt at bringing the gameshow to the wii platform. You could get the same performance out of the DVD version, and DVD games have the same feel - slow, predictable, repetitive and dull. This Wii rendition is simply a DVD game in a Wii platform, badly produced and I would seriously deter anybody from purchasing this title - perhaps you should look at other family quiz games such as Kabooki or Smarty Pants.

Nyko Wireless Nunchuk (Wii)

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

June 06, 2008
Same as J.A.Walsh said, the accelerometer is not up to scratch and really has a problem registering your shakes. My 100M times on Mario & Sonic were nearly a second slower than with the official wired nunchuk. Playing Pro Evo is really frustrating is you need to shake the nunchuk to shoot, to slide tackle and to head the ball. Not worth it unless you like being angry.

To be fair, it does seem to work fine on games where you aren't required to shake it. For my money though, that kind of defeats the point of it as the fact it's wireless is most useful when you're waving the controllers around like a madman.

Big Catch: Bass Fishing (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: 505 Games

November 30, 2007
I bought this game and the rod for the Wii. I have reviewed the rod and it is not a positive review. Sadly the game review is not going to be much better.

The game, as you would imagine, is pretty basic. You pick where you want to fish, cast, reel in and hope for the best. You can change the lures to increase your chances of catching a fish, but there is not much more to it than that. Once you find a spot where there are fish, it is just a matter of trying different lures in different colours until one bites. Then you reel it in a hope for the best. Sometimes the hook falls out, sometimes the line breaks. There is very little skill to the game and after a few levels doing the exact same thing over and over again, no amount of catching big ...

Rampage: Total Destruction (Wii)

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

February 09, 2007
Anyone who enjoyed the original game won't be disapointed with this, especially as the original game and the sequel is included on this disc. So even if you don't like the new version, you can still play it the old way.

My brothers and I used to waste huge amounts of time playing this together on our old Amiga and it's still a great game to play with a friend on the Wii. Everything you loved about the old game is still here, the format has not been changed a great deal. The main difference is that you can climb on the front of the buildings as well as up and down the sides and you have a couple of basic special moves and some complex ones you learn as bonuses. The camera zooms in and out automatically and is quite well controlled, it doesn't ... Read More:

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal (Wii)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo Wii
from: Warner Bros Interactive Ent

November 30, 2007
I bought this blind. I had no idea what it would involve - I just liked the look of Warner Brothers characters and silly weapons - and I'm not disappointed. The single player game is fun, with a co-operative two-player mode that I admit I haven't used yet but that surely adds a bit of value. Then there's a two, three or four-player "versus" mode which is really good fun. The wii controller works very well in this too. So on the surface, this game is good and I certainly like it.

But it's not without it's problems. Firstly, and this is really just an aesthetics issue, there aren't enough different playable characters for my liking. Players can be Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, Taz or Foghorn Leghorn. Because the game involves the ... Read More:

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (Wii)

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

February 15, 2008
Anyone who's played the previous budokai tenkaichi titles will know what to expect this time round. High octane battles in space with all your favourite characters from the series. I must admit this game captures the essence of dragon ball the best of all the dragon ball games i've played. In the story mode rather than giving lots of different battles that only last about five minutes this game decides to give you only a few stages for each saga, but lengthen them out by showing all the transformations and team changes in real time, a feature that works well and gives the game an incredibly cinematic quality. Overall if you like dragon ball z you will love this game, and you'll love it for a long time as well due to the vast amount of game modes.
