Forums - Microsoft - Random thoughts about my xBox 360 purchase

Dodece said:
Let me qualify my following statement I haven't purchased a new Wii game in over a year. Seeing as most new games are retreads of games I already bought for the GameCube, and the casual games not appealing to me I will probably not have a pressing need until Starfox comes out. That said I have no idea how the more recent Wii titles are doing with load times.

However every Wii game I owned except for Sports and Twilight Princess had unacceptably long load times. Those titles being Red Steel, Scarface, and The Godfather. I have never seen load times on par with it on my 360. The only title I can think of that was even approaching that level of bad was Crackdown.

I haven't seriously thought about this in ages. Are Wii titles generally better about load times now then right after the launch?

I love the fact that the Wii uses motion control. It's made playing games much more enjoyable (Metroid, MOHH2). However, may be it's just me but the games seem to have been devolving. I don't mean to poke fun at this, just that the games are getting worse instead of better... good games come out less and less.

As far as the loading time, I've found very few games with loading time (the ones I own). Some have them (E.g. Trauma Center) but it's nothing that stands out.

As far as casual games go, I do like WiiSports but aside from that most are just not fun or addictive in anyway except for Luxor... it's very addictive but the controls seem to screw up from time to time.

i think there is a luxor on the xbla, if you had an issue with wii controls for it.

Really?  I don't have my 360 online yet... is there perhaps a list of XBLA games I could look at online somewhere?

Christ!! This is a gold mine.  How much do these games roughly go for?  I pay about 29.99 for each puzzle game on the Wii (Luxor, Puzzle Quest, Geometry Wars, etc)

No worries about the posting. Also since you are a Nintendo fan in a sense Banjo Kazooie will be released sometime soon if you were in to it. There is a crapton of puzzle games available including the one u should alrdy have! Hexic Hd!
