GT Pro Series (with wheel) Review

This game has an immediate short coming, the graphics. Certainly not the most advanced but they do a nostalgic appeal and are better then Top Gear for SNES.

This game shines in the variety of cars you get and the types of races you race. You have a large selection that compares with some high end racing games (Gran Tourismo 3). You have a long list of manufactures and cars you don’t expect like the super mini class.

Throw in the drifting races and you have yourself one heck of a racing game!

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip Review

I’m going to go ahead and start this review off by saying something that you may not believe. Ubisoft…made a decent game for the Wii. Now, over the years, Ubisoft hasn’t been a bad company, but just look at their recent flail-fest `Just Dance’ and you have an idea of what the company has been up to lately, not to mention their `imagine’ series. Shaun White Snowboarding isn’t necessarily a `Hardcore’ snowboarding experience, but it has learned from efforts such as SSX Blur, the other successful snowboarding game on the Wii. br /br / The gameplay in Road Trip is pretty much meant for a pick up and play design, with some hidden depth for your more serious snowboarding gamer. There are two control schemes in this game, wiimote control and wimote plus wii balance board. Both of these control schemes work well, but for some of the game’s more serious challenges, you may want to step off the board and stick to the remote only. The remote is held like a TV controller, straight out ahead of you, and it is the most responsive I’ve seen in a while out of the wii’s racing experiences. Balance board control is done by standing like a snowboarder and tilting in the direction you want. Tricks are controlled by holding the buttons on the remote down by doing a required motion in order to pull it off in time to not crash into the unforgiving ground. With the balance board, it’s a matter of figuring out how to do the motions required. It will take a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, balance board control becomes much easier.br /br / Shaun White has two basic modes: Single player and multiplayer. Single player gives you a very light story, which there really isn’t any point going into further than: You’re following Shaun White around the world’s snowboarding locations. For every location, there are four levels, with two challenges within them, leading to 48 total challenges. After unlocking Shaun White you gain new challenges to complete. In multiplayer, you have a co-op mode in which you have basically the same experience as single player, except the story is ditched and characters are unlocked more easily. There is a head to head mode, in which you race or compete for tricks against whoever is playing with you. There is also a cup mode, which is like a snowboarding grand prix mode. The final mode is hot seat mode, which is a mode where you have to switch the people on the board to complete tracks, which is surprisingly fun. My only complaint here is that there isn’t any wifi connection play.br /br / Shaun White’s graphics are well polished and have a cartoony feel to them. This isn’t really a bad thing, as it fits the game very well, while making it a game that feels even more unique to the wii, rather than the PS360 version with motion controls attached to it and worse graphics. There are no frame rate problems, and the whole game moves very smoothly. The soundtrack sticks out from many other games because it has a licensed soundtrack, with enough variety that there’s something for everybody to enjoy in the soundtrack. It is also possible to switch songs in the middle of play by pressing the one button.br /br / Shaun White is a game that anybody can enjoy, and one that most people will enjoy. Even with the limited single player experience, Shaun White prevails in multiplayer, and has enough lasting appeal that it will not be forgotten for a while, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun multiplayer experience on the wii. br /

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip Feature

• Snowboarding video game for Wii lets you do everything you would at the mountain
• Four areas to explore: Alaska, Park City, Europe, Japan
• Perform different tricks on the ground, in the air, or on rails
• Ride down the slopes, create new paths in the back country, or do tricks in the terrain park

Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip Overview

Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip for Nintendo Wii introduces a whole new way of playing snowboarding games. Developed by Ubisoft, Shaun White Snowboarding was developed from the ground up to take advantage of the Wii Balance Board, giving you an experience that is more intuitive, realistic, and fun.pstyle type=”text/css” .caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } table.callout { font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1. 3em; } td.vgoverview { height: 125px; background: #9DC4D8 url(http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/callout-bg.png) repeat-x; border-left: 1px solid #999999; border-right: 1px solid #999999; padding-left: 20px; padding-right: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; width: 250px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; } /styletable align=left width=250 cellpadding=15 cellspacing=15trtdimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001B1W3KM-1-sm.jpg” border=0 align=topbrbrspan class=”caption”Land your favorite tricks in combination for the ultimate score.

View larger. /span/td/tr/tablebHop Onto the Wii Balance Board for a Realistic Experience/bbr The Wii Balance Board is an accessory from Nintendo that works and is shaped like an elongated scale, with sensors that can tell how much and where pressure is applied when you stand on it. This works perfectly with Shaun White Snowboarding, as it can detect whether you are leaning forward, back, left, or right, and it reacts like a real snowboard would.ptable align=right width=250 cellpadding=15 cellspacing=15trtdimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/wii-bb-sm.jpg” border=0 align=topbrbrspan class=”caption”The Wii Balance Board gives you an unprecedented, realistic experience. View larger. /span/td/tr/table To jump, you quickly shift your weight to the balls of your feet, and while in the air, you tap the A or B buttons and lean left and right to grab the board and spin, respectively. A multitude of tricks are available for you to learn, and chaining them together lets you amass more points. As you do tricks, a small little icon shows up on the screen to let you know what you did. For example, if you do a 720-degree turn called a “melon,” a little watermelon slice will show up on screen. p If you would rather forego the Balance Board, you can play with just the Wii Remote as well.pbBeautiful Graphics with Unique Camera System/bbr Shaun White Snowboarding: Road Trip features a unique camera system, where you can choose different cameramen and camerawomen to follow you around. Some are better for tricks and others for speed, so be sure to pick the right one, as they’ll give you abilities during your ride. p As the cameraperson follows you on your ride, you’ll notice different effects, such as image blurs around the edges of the screen to give a sense of speed. The camera will collect snow when you fall, and sometimes the camera will white out after completing a big jump, as the cameraperson has to follow you and do the same moves as well. This unique system adds another element of strategy and fun to the game.pbTour the World with Shaun White/bbr Road Trip begins with you as a newcomer to the snowboarding scene. Shaun White serves as your mentor, and together you travel the world, tackling mountains and making friends as you work your way up to becoming the world’s best snowboarder.p As you win competitions and meet new people, they’ll show you new tricks and special abilities that will help you against the competition. You’ll have to learn different snowboarding skills as you compete in races down a mountain, half-pipe events, slaloms, rail jams, and more. You can also take a breather and just free ride in the back country at your own pace. pbPlay With or Against Your Friends/bbr Road Trip doesn’t have online multiplayer options, but you can play both competitively and cooperatively with a friend on a split screen. In competitive mode, you and a friend can race to the bottom or try to out-trick each other for the highest score. In cooperative mode, both of you ride down the same slope, and the scores are added together. The entire game can be played cooperatively, so you and a friend can tour the world together and unlock new extras.pbr clear=”all”centerimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001B1W3KM-3-sm.jpg” border=0 align=topimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001B1W3KM-4-sm.jpg” border=0 align=topimg src=”http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B001B1W3KM-2-sm.jpg” border=0 align=top/centerbr clear=”all”

Six Flags Fun Park Review

I hate violent games and wanted something for the Wii that wasn’t sports oriented. We actually got this for the Multiplayer thinking it would be fun to play the carnival type games. However my husband and I both got hooked on the Adventure game and cannot put it down – we actually have to time ourselves or we don’t stop playing until the other makes us!br /There are a few mini-games that are hard to beat (Martin Blast) but one of the tasks requires you to beat a certain score or bring back a prize that requires a certain score. I thought I would never beat it but after 50 or so tries I finally did and that was rewarding:)br /Walking back and forth to do missions can be aggravating when you keep getting lost and not all things are on the map – a few shortcuts between parks would have been nice. And the garbage and weeds you pick-up/pull reappear so you don’t have a way to track where you have been – but then again you can still get coins/tickets when you pick-up/pull them again. And although you have already checked something (tree,trashcan) somethings don’t get “put-in” until you reach the mission so you will have to check it again.br /I try to do all the little tasks (collecting souvenirs, prizes, planting) as I am on my way to do missions. Sometimes it saves you alot of running…br /Still very fun addictive game if you are looking for a slow paced adventure where your character is not trying to be killed or mutilated!

The DOG Island Review

My daughter got this game for her 7th birthday and she doesn’t want to do anything other than play this game. The funny thing is she is not a video game or TV kind of kid. We wish she would do more relaxing things once in a while. She usually likes activities such as riding her bike, scooter or ice skating. It was a shock how this game drew her in. We created our own dog and named it the same. It’s like watching our dog run around and play the game. It makes it more personal. She has been addicted to this game for 3 weeks now and we are just now getting in the Anc world (The end). My daughter usually plays it but hands me the controller when she has to navigate a wild boar or snake that you must get close to. The game motivates her to read as well. Best of all the game has great music and no annoying sound effects so for parents this is a great background game!

The DOG Island Feature

• Discover an adorable adventure for kids – heartwarming story of a dog trying to save his sibling from sickness
• Pick your puppy and customize it with clothes and accessories as you progress in the adventure
• Control your puppy easily with the Wii-mote and sniff out hidden treasure trusting the sense of smell
• Meet more than 48 different breeds and become friends with them
• Visit diverse and highly recognizable environments, from Egypt to Greenland
