Wiiiiiii SHOPPING!!!

[Grey Acumen]

Woo! Chadius basically nailed it except for being hung up on Wii Play.

 

I liked Wii play when I tried it at my cousin's. I'm not talking abotu paying a full $50 for this, or if I did get the full version, I'd be selling the Wiimote to hopefully make up the difference. I don't want to pay more than about $15 - $20 max. But with all that, I want a game where I've got some nice simple 2 player games, and not always limited to competition, but also coop. With Wiiplay, i've got Tanks(great for coop), Airhockey and Billiards, and the shooting game, fishing, bubblepop, and charge are at least mildly entertaining. i didn't like the find me game, but that may just be because I sucked at it, I actually kinda enjoy the where's waldo type stuff, so I probably just need practice with that.

 

Actually, thinking about that, i may just grab mario galaxy, since it does have some limited multiplayer support. i had forgotten about that. The demo I played in the store may have just been still at the point where everything was just too simple. But I also found the controls to be a little frustrating as well. it was just similar enough to Mario 64 that I felt like I knew it, but just different enough that it would throw me for a loop when something didn't work that had been in mario 64.

As far as Resident Evil 4, I've never played the series before. Basically, I've always had a hatred for any type of shooters on both Mouse & keyboard, and on controllers. the controllers because of the difficulty aiming, and the mouse & keyboard because I hate hovering my hand over the keys and losing track of where they are.

Same for Metroid Prime, but i do think that now that I have the Wiimote, I may actually be able to enjoy a FPS, so i really do need to at least try it out. FPS always introduced one other problem, and that was lack of peripheral vision. I wish they'd do something where they'd give you the option to have the top.

 

I think I'll actually buy MP3, just simply since i don't really own any other FPS other than turok for N64. Zack & Wiki, and RE4, I think I'll rent before deciding what I'm going to do. New Blood, I think I'll just rent.

 

I have to admit, i am glad for one thing that Playstation standardized, which is memory seperate from the game. I can go rent, play it for a bit, and still keep all my saved game info. If I send it back to the store, I can rent again later, or actually buy a brand new copy, and not lose any progress.

 

okay, for all thosepeople dissing wiiplay, how many levels does Tanks have before you beat it completely?
