he´s more into action, fps, and rpg games. he is wondering if it is worth for him. he IS kind of interested after he saw red steel 2, but he hated the wii before. so I dont know

Well to be blunt if he likes action (beat 'em up? Third person shooters?) and FPS' there is nothing on the wii that comes close to rivaling those genres on the 360 and PS3.

Aside from Muramasa and Mario Galaxy.

Galaxy is a platformer, which I didn't mention as a genre, but it's a really good platfomer though essentially not what the O's mate was asking for. Muramasa vs God of War 3, or heck, even Dante's Inferno, it looses hands down. That's the thing, the wii really doesn't lead any gaming genre other than platforming with Mario Galaxy, hence if you are into FPS' and action games, it's not the right console for you.

Why does one game have to be 'better' than another?  Muramasa can still be just as good of a game as God of War 3.  I'm sure some people like it more than God of War 3.  There's no stone slab out there that says God of War 3 is better than all the Wii action games out there.  And if all there is to support that claim is things like 'presentation' and 'graphics', it only supports that point further.  One systems AAA game doesn't make another systems game automatically inferior.  Its just like all those people trying to say FFXIII is automatically the end all of JRPGs this gen just because its the most hyped and seemingly the most 'AAA'.  Its not.

Long story short, Muramasa is still one of the best gamesa on the Wii and a fantastic game.  And one he might enjoy if he played it.

I found GOW3 to be too needlessely violent and too....immature really. I felt like the developers were specifically appealing to kids who find gore and stuff to be the coolest thing ever.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
