He didn't give me a lot of details about what he was looking for, but I do know this much.

He only owns a a Wii. He does enjoy playing games online (example: we both play UNO online via Wii, and he likes that), so presumably an online component would be good. Also, he just recently purchased the Wii (couple months ago - thanks tax refunds!), so he only has a couple games, like NSMBWii, Wii Sports, and I think Wii Play. Also, he lives alone and works really odd/varying shifts/hours, so I think a solid single-player experience would be key for him. I do not know of any prior consoles he owned, so details beyond that are kind of sparse. I will have to ask him for more specifics...

Based on your answers...Tell him to test some of this:

The Conduit has a good Multiplayer component AND is very cheap
Red Steel 2 is a great 1 player only game BUT requires Motion+
Call of Duty Modern Warfare and World at War, are good in both 1 player and Online multiplayer

Try at least 1 Onrails shooter, Dead Space Extraction its great and its cheap, or for something with a more arcade feeling House of the Dead its a good choice.

 

Okay so I got some more details: He doesn't care at all about an online component, as his hours are wacky and he knows he'd rarely find someone to play and then when he did he'd probably get destroyed and that would frustrate him, so mostly he's looking for a good 1st person story and single player experience. He said he doesn't want to be 'guided' through the game, so that, I would assume, would mean no on-rail types. Plus he said he used to have a game for the original Playstation in which he went and killed Nazis, so if there was something that would fit that bill he'd enjoy that a lot. I'm assuming that really only leaves Call of Duty?

given this i'd say Metroid Prime Trilogy (great story and experience, you are NEVER "guided" through the game, on the contrary you have to explore and figure the way out to proceed. they are 3 of the best games ever in one package)and Call of Duty: MWR (best war fps you can find on wii. period.)
