Tomb Raider : Anniversary (Wii)
Tomb Raider : Anniversary (Wii)
Customer Review: She’s still got it
You would have thought now that the tomb raider formula would be beginning to tire especially seeing as the series, in numerous iterations, has failed to evolve and innovate to keep the franchise fresh. The core to all tomb raider games has always been its level design, and of course, Lara Croft; with the big busted lady’s amazing ability to swing and jump across deep crevasses and sidle along ledges as thin as her waistline, without breaking sweat at the hundred foot drop looming below. So why then is this game, which is a re-make of the first tomb raider, so fun to play whilst feeling fresh and like a completely new adventure?
This is largely due to the Wii remote which the game exploits to its absolute maximum not only helping its supreme and utterly absorbing playability but also the series as a whole. Lara has never been so good.
The game may feel slightly linear but the enormous environments which you’ll visit will allow for a lot of exploration and with secret items to collect, a reason to re-visit them a second, and even third time, just to get everything.
The aforementioned Wii controls are the true highlight however with a motion for almost every piece of lara’s equipment. Use a pick axe by moving the wii remote back and forth as if hitting a wall, to open new secrets and pathways; aim your torch to light your way when it’s too dark to see; take rubbings of ornate designs from the many walls and floors of the tombs you’ll explore; and aim your wii remote to take out those dinosaurs and gorillas which inhabit the temples and areas awaiting you.
To do these actions before would just require a button press, which was far less satisfying and intuitive as the superior wii controls this game exploits. And with the upgraded graphics helping to bring life to the environments and the amazing work done to animate Lara as she scrambles around rock faces and swings through the air with her grappling hook, this game sees off all competitiion from the original and even other games in the growing Tomb Raider franchise.
With the exception of quite a steep learning curve in regards to the controls and a few glitches here and there where the game needed a bit more polishing, this is definitely Lara at her best as she relives her first and probably best adventure in the Tomb Raider franchise.
A must-have title for any Tomb raider fans or newcomers to the series.
Customer Review: a decade of tomb raider games, and this ones is the best
I’ve been playing this game for a few days now and it’s a great addition to the series if anything the best! It has elements from all the titles that I’ve played and a huge leap from the first one I brought being that on the PlayStation. The use of the wii control is great and just adds to the authenticity of the game, I walk away from it feeling ass if I’ve not wasted my hours playing it and have felt fully involved. Sound affects are amazing in this game as are the movie sequences (short but sweet), gameplay is consistent and you won’t get bored.. The only downer is getting used to techniques using the wii control.. the instructions are very brief so you end up spending ages working out where you’ve gone wrong, I ended up moving my sensor dozens of times JUST to perfect the one move.. but once you’ve picked it up you’re away. Scenery changes so you won’t get bored in all a fantastic game of its genre and worth looking into.

This item is a great must have item if you have a Nintendo Wii. This will eliminate the need for buying endless batteries for your Nintendo Wii remote and therefore save you money.

Charge the remote on the stand as shown above and after two hours you will have a fully charged Wii remote which will provide you with up to 16 hours of playing time. The best thing about this item is that it will charge two remotes at the same time (you can play with one while the other is charging) and also it provides a convenient resting place for your remote.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Wii) 
It’s the game that never should’ve worked. Normal licensed games are usually bad enough but the game of the toy of the film? Clearly the Force was with developer Traveller’s Tales though because Lego Star Wars I and II were huge critical and commercial hits that showed that not only could licensed games be good but that titles aimed at kids and the family could be just as innovative and entertaining as any other. Clearly not wishing for any of the new consoles to miss out on the fun this is a compendium of both games with a bunch of new extras thrown in on top.
Together the two games cover both the prequel and original trilogy, with each film given six separate levels of its own, one of which is vehicle based. The rest of the levels though are deceptively simple action adventures with a built-in co-operative mode that anyone can join in and leave whenever they want. The combat is simple enough that anyone can play and you never really die, leaving the most complex part of the gameplay the always cleverly designed puzzles.
For this special version of the games extra levels have been added in (including the Zam Wessell chase from Attack of the Clones) as well as new bonus missions, ten new bounty hunter missions and the ability to play any of the characters in any of the levels. Add in a new online co-op mode for the PS3 and 360 and this really is the complete saga.

Customer Review: Can I beat my nehew…
Only just getting my first ever computer/game machine I am still learning but love my WII. This is the 2nd game I have bought for my 4 year old boy and myself. Taking some learning but the graphics are excellent. can be frustrating when we cant work out what to do next… enter the 6 year old nephew. taking me to new levels of play.(asking me to get him to the next bit which happens but dont ask me how) I would highly reccommend although I am definateley not an expert….
Resident Evil 4 (Wii) Customer Review: great
There are already a lot of positive comments. I just want to add one more. I am not good at action games because my hands are slow. Therefore I have problems playing Zelda or Super Mario Galaxy. But I really couldn’t believe in myself when I beated this game (albeit in easy mode). I think the design is good so that you can use many tactics instead of brute force. A great game.
Customer Review: Resident Evil - Addicted
Well what can I say, this game is fantastic. Huge maps, problems to solve, lots of weapons to purchase and upgrade, scary music, great backgrounds, excellent controls and shooting… Best Game I’ve ever played I think. Sometimes when the music changes, and the monsters start shouting, your heart starts to race and you run for it (on screen) to find somewhere to hide, whilst you reload, and see if you can spot them.
The ONLY limiting factor to this game in my opinion is that it’s rather too easy to run out of ammunition, but that’s because you are panicking so much, you open fire at anything that moves (this can include chickens!). And that’s the thing with this game, there is simply so much to do, and you can even use new costumes (having a young girl in a suit of armour is terrific, and when Leon catches her, he winces and puts his hands on his hips, a cracking little touch of humour).
Having now completed it quite a few times in Pro Mode, I’ve got all the weapons you can have, yet I play it again, with the basic weapons, for the sport. A lovely head shot at 200 yards is fantastic fun, or seeing how much of the game you can play just using a rocket launcher etc…Or even just using the pistol and shotgun (though you have to use the darts now and again, it’s good fun watching the zombie keep walking, then explode!!). But that’s the thing, there is just so much you can do even in the main game, I’ve even played it to get my kills to over 1000.
Also, the fact that you have Assignment Ada and the other extras just makes it that bit better than any other game I’ve played, and keeps me going back for more and more.
It’s well worth the money !! (And I won’t often say that)
