Based on my experience so far I have enjoyed and played on my ps3 more than my Wii:
PS3 games:
Motorstorm - excellent gameplay and graphics but it's frustratingly low on content.
Oblivion - almost everything about it I HATED. My worst PS3 purchase so far, and how I longed for an awesome rpg at the time :(
Virtua Fighter 5 - disappointing. It lacks content and looks average (for a ps3 game). Gets boring and repetitive quickly.
Assassin's Creed - did not live up to my expectations. Enjoyable at first, looks fantastic and can be engrossing but ultimately the combat does not work and it's far too easy.
Call of Duty 4 - fantastic. My game of the year. I've played through single player twice and have clocked up 40 hours online multiplayer (which is just as beautiful, thrilling and satisfying to play as the single player mode. No lag, delays or anything like that (although sometimes lobbies close without warning which is frustrating). And I don't usually like FPS games...
PS3 Conclusion - 2 fantastic games, 1 average game, 1 below par game and 1 dreadful game.
Wii games:
Resident Evil: Wii Edition - The best Wii game I own so far, it's very enjoyable. The first genuinely good use of the wiimote as far as I'm concerned. It looks impressive for an essentially revised old game, the gameplay is enthralling and immersive and there is a nice variety of enemies and locations and bonus content.
Wii play - ergh. cheap and tacky comes to mind. The only remotely enjoyable game is tanks everything else is frankly shit. Even when factoring in the wiimote with the cost its a rip-off.
Wii sports - It suffers from what a lot of the early ps3 games suffered from, it lacks any depth, replayability and just doesn't hit the spot. Enjoyable at first and with a group of people but I haven't played it since the first month.
Wario Ware - This is akin to Wii play. This game and the next one have made me extra cautious about so-called recommendations. Why does everyone think this is so good? It's the same dynamic over and over again. It also looks rubbish and plays badly, and unlike Wii play it isn't even at a reduced price.
Zelda - Oh dear me. It's supposed to be one of the best games ever made, why exactly? It's one of those games I just don't 'get', like Warcraft or Halo. I've tried so hard to like it and I've played it for many hours but I just don't like it and I've given up. If it weren't for all the hype I would have given up on it a long time ago, so I blame y'all for this one.
Wii Conclusion - 1 fantastic game, 1 average game, 3 dreadful games. I have high expectations for my christmas games though:
Guitar Hero 3 (ps3)
Madden NFL '08 (ps3)
Uncharted (ps3)
Metroid Prime (wii)
Super Mario (wii)
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (wii) |
