my question is this. how does Outcast's opinion of the games relate to the Wii being a revolution?

i don't see how playing the traditional/core games on Wii relates to the revolutionary aspect.

if you say that they use the Wii remote, you'd be wrong.

the controller has changed yes and the interaction with the games also. but these aren't revolutionary. rather they are evolutions or mutations if you will.

the revolution comes from trying to change everyone's views on what gaming is or should be.

the controller isn't the sole contributer to the revolution. heck i could go as far as saying that it's the smallest aspect of it. all it does is make gaming accessible to a larger market when combined with the right software.

I'd also give Starfox a try.

I also highly suggest looking for the GCN/PS2/Xbox game called Nightfire. It was a James Bond game. Amazing local multiplayer and great controls. The GCN version is the best so you can get use out of your Wii.

The Conduit is going to be a great addition to the Wii's library.

Hmm it seems you just don't like quality games…

Each to their own but i'd have to echo the sentiments of a few other posters and suggest you haven't given some of these games a fair chance. On my first play through i didn't even get through Twilight Princess in a week (playing all day every day), and you've played 6 games.

If you think you are going 'get' Smash Bros or Metroid in few quick sessions then you are mistaken, these are Wii's genuine 'hardcore' titles and will demand your attention to get the most out of them.

If you can play through Prime 3 on the higher difficulty and not be somewhat impressed (even if the game is still not entirely to your taste), you are a very different gaming beast from myself. And if that's the case then hopefully some of the guys can point you in the direction of some other games that are more to your liking. Anyways, happy gaming.

Hard to give a thing a second chance, that you haven't even given a first.

That's lame. Take a photo of yourself holding the games, and a sign that says "Hello VGChartz", and then maybe you might gain a bit of cred. But as it is, pffffffssh.

Laughable.

I'm actually very impressed with the OP's altruistic nature. Not everyone would take the time to post a warning to other HD owners. The concern is admirable.

I don't know if you're joking but I'm laughing anyway.

See, the problem with this thread hasn't been his opinion. He's perfectly allowed to have whatever opinion he wants. I don't like Gears of War (shame since I bought the first), yet that's one of the most highly respected franchises of this generation. It's my opinion. Happens.

The problem is that he doesn't seem to understand what he's forming his opinions about. It's like saying the Cincinnati Bengals are a terrible football team this year because they aren't scoring any home runs. While the conclusion may be true - that they're a lousy team this year - the reason for believing that is terribly wrong.

You can't form an accurate opinion on something unless you understand what you're supposed to be expecting.

Metroid Prime isn't aimed at the typical FPS fan. It's not a FPS. You can't play expecting a typical FPS experience.

Zelda isn't an RPG; it's an action-adventure, maybe partially adventure-RPG. If you play expecting gameplay similar to Dark Cloud or Elder Scrolls, you're going to be disappointed.

Smash Bros. isn't aimed at fans of Tekken or Soul Calibur. It's not a traditional fighter. It's aimed at people who want a fighting experience entirely different from the traditional fighter. It's designed to be the opposite type of fighter.

You can't play a game expecting it to be something it's not and have an accurate impression of it. While these types of games may not be your style (thereby giving you a legitimate reason not to like them - which is entirely okay!), you can't play them and expect what they aren't, and be able to say they're good. It won't happen.

and his PS3 buddies comes to his rescue beacue we disagree.

Wonder if anyone could do a similar topic about PS3 games, if there is any game that is overrated most of them are on PS3.
