Emergency Heroes (Wii)

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

June 13, 2008
This is a fantastic bargain. at R.R.P of £19.99 everyone who has kids and a Wii should invest in this game. It is great fun and looks good. Ok so it is never gonna win any awards with the adults. It is very simple but if you buy a cartoony looking game called "Emergency heroes" and expect it to be a complex RPG that will require great gaming skill, then you deserve to be disappointed. If however, like me, you want a fun, easy, cheap game that will keep your children entertained.... then this is the game for you.

The Spiderwick Chronicles (Wii)

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

March 14, 2008
I am unsure if any or most criticism that should be leveled at this game centers mostly on the control system of the wii rather than the game itself. Personally I found certain moves very frustrating repetitive and disappointing in this game. However, I also found many elements of the gameplay exciting and delightful. I was particularly pleased with the constant interchange of characters one plays, as well as the slightly weird concept of capturing fairies and sprites in a field guide, and the uses to which one puts them! The movie is well integrated into the play and I can see how the overall package will appeal to all fans of the Spiderwick series.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 (Wii)

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

August 31, 2007
I bought this game hoping that the experience from 2007 would be improved and at first glance, I thought this could be the case. However you have to complete a few practice sessions before you can start the game. All well and good I hear you cry, as practice makes perfect. However it appears that you cannot skip the practice lessons and must complete all practice levels before you can start playing proper and some of the practice shots can take quite some time to complete before you can start playing the game proper.

The game mode itself is very good and you soon master the shots, however one draw back, every shot hit seems to be at 110% (on a full swing), meaning shots overhit and chips out of the rough. Play is quick and graphics are ... Read More:

Ghost Squad (Wii)

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

January 18, 2008
Pretty much a perfect copy of the GHOST SQUAD arcade game. You get the the main arcade mode with 3 missions (a hotel, airplane, and jungle base) with several areas to shoot through on each one. You'll make decisions on which path to take, so you will end up replaying levels to see everything. For those who struggle (or want to struggle) the game lets you turn on/off the targeting cursor, and has 3 difficulty levels.

It's best to play this game with a gun accessory. B buton is shoot and flicking the wiimote away from the screen will reload. The shooting is broken up by the odd mini-game event. Mostly holding the A button on a hostage to subdue them or pointing at a bomb wire and pressing A and other stuff. Also the bosses are played against ... Read More:

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.

Need for Speed: ProStreet (Wii)

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

November 23, 2007
Having played this on someone elses's Xbox 360 and also the PSP version, I have to say the wii incarnation is the best. I can see where the free roamers wouldn't like this, because there ain't no free roamin', but as a straight up racer it pretty much hits the mark but with one huge problem. Whilst the controls are responsive and the gameplay is fine, it is way too easy. I don't think I am that good at video driving games, but apart from drift mode, getting through to meet and beat the bosses (often even easier than the levels below) was no trouble at all. It appears that the AI is defective in this regard. For example you might be up against some car with a 200mph top speed but it is cruising along at 140 on a long straight as you zoom by them.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith with Wireless Controller (Wii)

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

June 27, 2008
I'll try to be short and concise as that is what i like to read in a review, i own guitar hero 3 and i would rate that 5 stars. So..

Why is this a let down?

1. Less songs
2. The graphics seem to have taken a step back
3. You play to earn money for new characters and guitars etc. But you are unable to use them for 80% of the songs as they seem to have a default setting to use the basic aerosmith characters
4. It isnt as challenging as guitar hero 3

Why do i still class it as a good game?

1. Although the songs are on general guite poor for eclectic tastes (unless you are a die hard aerosmith fan) it is still good fun to play.




If you have not played guitar hero before ... Read More:

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

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

October 26, 2007
I almost pity the Metroid Prime : Corruption developers. They've turned out what is, quite simply, the single most polished, detailed and engrossing game on the Wii. Yet their efforts were always destined to be overshadowed by more mainstream (and frankly inferior) titles like Twilight Princess and Super Mario Galaxy. Relegating their hard work to the second rate status of a mere 'sleeper hit', when in fact, Metroid Prime : Corruption is without a doubt the finest title to grace the Wii so far.

Sonically, graphically and immersively it is without equal on the platform. The team at Retro Studios have put together the first title to truly exhibit the graphical capabilities of the Wii and they've wrapped that visual polish around a game that is detailed, engrossing, ... Read More:
