Urban Messenger Bag - Nintendo Licensed (Wii)

February 1, 2008 | By Doug In Wii |

In a nutshell:
The Metroid Prime trilogy comes to an end on the Wii, using not just the console’s improved graphical abilities but also the full range of the controller’s features. Half first person shooter, half Zelda style Sci-Fi adventure this is destined to be one of the best games of the next generation.

The lowdown:
The Wii remote and nunchuck have what seems like an infinite range of functions but of all the games shown so far this is the only one that seems to use every single one. Although there is still a lock-on option for attacking enemies you can now play the game more like a first person shoot ???em-up as you target enemies instantly, just by pointing with the Wii remote. All of the buttons, including the D-pad, are used to access Samus’s various abilities, which are added to with new uses for the grappling hook. This now works like a whip, allowing you to nab enemy shields by simply flicking the nunchuck (which also has a motion sensor in it) forward.

Most exciting moment:
The best bit of the lengthy E3 demo is an amazing boss fight with regular series villain Ridley, as you both fall through a giant energy shaft. Not only do you have to dodge his attacks but you have to beat him before you both end up splatted at the bottom of the shaft.

Since you ask:
The game’s graphics are noticeably improved from the GameCube titles, with much more detailed enemies and much larger game areas. There’s also a lot more enemies onscreen at once, as well as apparently friendly fellow bounty hunters.

The bottom line:
The legendary series evolves again, with the best use of the Wii’s controller yet.

Customer Review: LOVE IT!
I cannot stress the joy of having had Zelda Twilight Princess as my first wii game. It took me almost 50 hours of intense gameplay to “finish” the story, where your surroundings continuosly grow to a huge world of very different environments with unsimilar dangers and foes. But that does not mean the game ends there. There are many taks and challenges outside the storyline that you must accomplish to REALLY finish the game, like capturing the ghost-orbs, catching the bugs, and winning certain “competitions” to obtain better items! I personally do not know anyone who does not like (let alone LOVE) the Zelda saga. This has been a refreshing update of Link & Zelda, and I am ever so pleased I got the wii - the gameplay is second to none thanks to the wii remote & nunchuck technology!!!

Customer Review: Awful
A complete waste of money, not worth the faffing around to put it together, it’s far easier to just play with a normal remote and nunchuck.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii)
The WarioWare team took an idea so wacky, it could only be made with the latest technology … the Wii Remote. Wario and his pals learn fun, wacky moves after discovering a strange book and a mystical device called the Form Baton. Players must clear fast-paced sets of microgames, changing the way they hold the Wii Remote each time. As they do, they?ll unlock more microgames and souvenirs. Features: WarioWare is back with a whole new set of moves. When Wario? stumbles upon a strange device called a Form Baton, he and his friends use it to learn new moves that are as fun as they are wacky. With hundreds of microgames, this game is just as wild as you?d expect from the name WarioWare, but the game play has been revolutionized. Under Wario?s tutelage, and with the help of the Wii Remote, players will swing, spin and squat their way to victory. With about 200 lightning-quick microgames and controls that range from scribbling to flailing, WarioWare: Smooth Moves takes interactive gaming to a whole new level. All players need is a Wii Remote and their best moves to be the champ. With games that are as much fun to play as they are to WATCH people play, WarioWare: Smooth Moves brings the party to its feet. It?s hilarious for players and audiences alike.

Customer Review: Great game!
I am 12 and just got this game for christmas. Me and my friend love it. It is alot of fun and you can unlock different games. Some of the minigames are really easy but some can be really hard! I love it but i think that maybe some adults would not enjoy it as much. i would buy it if i was you!
Customer Review: AWFUL!!
I bought this game thinking it would be the perfect game for the family to enjoy…how wrong i was!! Its too chaotic to enjoy, and i definately would NOT reccommend this game!!
