My problem with all these casual social games like Wii fit, Wii sports, Rock band, guitar hero and 70% of normal wii games is that one doesn't take any emotion or feeling after the game is turned off.
They are all phisycal activities which are only fun in the moment you are playing them...they are a good diversion and have their place in gaming but shouldn't really be considered the next step. A good non-casual video game can scare you, can make you think, can engage your with a story, impress you wil art design...etc...long after you turn off your console...this can't.
Otherwise that's a pretty fair review in my opinion... |
Haha! I know some people that would say the opposite... They get emotion out of social games and would consider a good non-casual video game is for the moment only. Wii fit is something that engages you throughout the week as you follow the advice from the game, etc... |
Those people should go work out for real then or go bowling in a real bowling alley or maybe start lering to play a real instument... |
Then perhaps the other people should search for emotion in a real life situation.
Or perhaps it is nice to have games of both varieties, at the end of Super Mario Galaxy I just sat and watched the whole credit/ending sequence with an overwhelming happiness (unlike lots of games where the credits annoy me if I cannot skip them)
Of course with most of those games once you have played them once or twice through there is little else to do, similar to a film in that respect, If I buy a DVD I would likely watch it once or twice in the first couple of weeks, then maybe once or twice for the rest of it's life.
Games like Wii Sports are not worth any less because you play them little and often instead of rarely but all at once.
