X-OOM Movies on Wii (PC)
Customer Review: Avoid at all costs!
So the first thing i thought before buying this product was WOW i can finally watch a movie on my beloved Wii. And not only that but i can carry a movie around with me on my 1gb SD card, bring it to a friends house, slot it into his/her Wii and we can watch a movie! Great! WRONG!
All this application does is convert a movie/DVD into Motion JPEG format (which is basically a load of compressed still images). For instance i converted my Aliens VS Predator DVD to Wii format on my SD card and it produced 4 different files. I loaded the SD card into my Wii, went to the Photo channel (which is how you have to view the files), and selected the first file.
The movie began to play and already the trouble started. I experienced a lot of stuttering and delay much like you would see in a movie played from a very scratched up DVD. It would be smooth for 3 seconds then stop/start, smooth for another 3 seconds then stop/start and on and on and on….
Not only that but because the Wii format of the video is in fact still images and can only be viewed in the photo channel of the Wii means that you have no rewind, fast forward, etc. functionality that everybody needs. Also, you have to select the 2nd file when you are done with the first, and then the third, fourth and so on depending on the size of the movie you are playing.
Oh i have also forgot to mention that the video quality is very poor even though i chose the option in the application to convert the movie at the highest quality!
So forget about buying this product - it obviously hasn’t been fully tested by X-OOM.
Take my advice, save your hard earned money and wait for the official Nintendo DVD drive or firmware updates to the Wii so you can have a real movie experience!

not impressed, i thought they would be rubber skins to wrap around the remote, but they are just POSH STICKERS that stick onto the remote, so u still need skins as well. sorry but im returning them.

Customer Review: Very low quality.
The title consists of several hoopla style games. I played it with gaming and non-gaming friends in the sort of situation where Wii Sports and Rayman Raving Rabbids go down very well. The only fun to be had with Carnival was in joking about how joyless and arbitrary each mini game was and hoping that there would be one that was alright coming up later on. Unfortunately this joke wore thin very quickly and we never found a game that was fun to play. Given that the amazon marketplace has Raving Rabbids for a similar price I can’t see why anyone should have to endure Carnival.
Customer Review: Good party game
When I got this game I was a bit aprehensive about how good it was going to be due to the price, but I have found it really good value for money especially when I play with friends after a few drinks it becomes more entertaining and amusing!! I dont however play this one on my own that much its much more fun when you have people to be competative with!!!!
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: Great for the kids
My 6 and 8 year old boys love this game. The fact that you can’t ‘die’ is great for them as they get frustrated when they are doing really well and then lose all of their lives. The way the characters build bridges and control panels out of the blocks is great. This is definitely not a game for the older Star Wars fans but for the younger generation it’s fantastic. We can’t wait for the Indiana Jones lego game this summer.
Customer Review: Fun for anyone from 3-103
This is a fun little game for the Wii which sadly doesn’t make much use of the interactive Wiimote function, a downside for those Jedi wannabes.
All the characters and locations are so familiar to Star Wars fans yet entirely made out of Lego.
The levels aren’t all that complex although some thought is needed for the Free Play area, as certain area are only available to certain characters and each character has it’s own area of expertise.
However as it’s not possible to die in the game it is excellent for Children and those who are unfamiliar with computer games.
Combining the best of Lego and Star Wars, what’s not to like?
