You spend most of this short game mindlessly attacking and **** down potions. You only briefly have a party then the rest of the time you are solo or duoing. Then the credits roll which are longer than the game minus the boring fights. Total cash grab.

Are these other reviews jokes or getting paid? This game is a boring, walking around pushing buttons and turning levers then occasionally encountering a poorly rendered Alien that has severely impaired vision. Strip away the pretty graphics and this game is just pushing a series of buttons to outfox laughably bad AI. The alien isn't scary or immersive or anything good.

The negative "professional" reviews just demonstrate how completely out of touch and damaging to the industry these graphic **** are. I guess if you are completely devoid of joy this game isn't very good, what with the endless hours of fun and all.

Any game reviewer who does not see the beauty of this game is bad at their job and probably dead inside. EDF 2025 is everything good about EDF 2017 updated with the few good elements of Insect Armageddon. If you do not like mayhem and endless hours **** that is actually fun to play with real life human friends this is not the game for you, but you might have a future writing knee jerk bad reviews **** you probably played for less than an hour.

I picked up a copy of this for a dollar and want my money back! Many features are tied to EA servers that are no longer accessible (F U EA) so what you are left with is a game with fewer features than early PS2 NCAA football games. What still does work is a game where everything feels predetermined. The higher ranked team is given a landslide advantage, coach's challenges have never worked for anyone (even when replay shows without a doubt it was the wrong call), and recruiting is just a lot of unenjoyable busy work that does not seem to respond at all to how your season is going. EA has fooled people and/or bribed reviewers and/or broken them by being the only game in town- shameful.

When I first played this game I was like "wow, this looks really good". Really good to the point that I had to pause to make sure I was holding a Wiimote. I was. Then I kept playing and was just blown away by the lighting and snow effects. I paused again to make sure my Wiimote had not interfaced with an 360 or PS3 or PC in order to trick me into thinking Wii games could look like this. It had not. Finally I had to stop the game a third time. This time because I was afraid. Very afraid.

Exactly what we need more of. Give us more classic game play with the audio/visual polish of modern gaming. New ideas are cool too, but throwing nostalgia without the pain of having to look at those often ugly games is genius.

A lazy port of a decade old arcade game on a system loaded with vastly superior light gun games? No thank you. Quarter eating cheap shots, shooting offscreen, and mediocre graphics might have been acceptable in 2008, but here in the future you could be playing HotD:Overkill, DeadSpace, Ghost Squad, Umbrella Chronicles, etc..

The Sonic portion of this game is really good! The monster sections are like a list of everything you do not look for in a Sonic game. If someone re-released this game with just the Sonic parts it would be one of the best Sonic games to date, but having to deal with the Werehog just makes the whole game not worth it. Everyone who isn't a die hard Sonic fan should do themselves a favor and skip this game completely- go play Sonic Colors instead.

An all around great game that falls from being a 10 only because the graphics aspire to be better than they are which causes some areas to look bad or difficult to interpret. Some of the first rooms in the game look terrible which was off putting, though that is a minor complaint for such an involved and enjoyable title.

This is a tacky review, sorry. THE GOOD: The aesthetics of this game are amazing. If you like looking at pretty pictures and running around a finely crafted world listening to good voice acting telling a better than average story then you are in luck. THE BAD: GW2 plays like a bunch of people who really liked playing pvp as dps classes on WoW got together and made a game. The laundry list of boons/conditions that all last half a milisecond quickly becomes meaningless spam that does not lend itself well to a game you play for hours on end (pve that is, it is great for pvp). Though overall most things about the gameplay are frantic and after a short time get filtered out. Along the same lines the constant battles when you travel anywhere get tiresome. Sorry, I liked being able to run freely through newb zones in other games without constant harassment. Hey devs, if you wanted people to play together why did you put in 80 levels? Because WoW has 80 levels? Exactly. The leveling down is a cool feature, but is forced on you like so much else in GW2. Speaking of which, not being able to assign your own weapon ability hotkeys! This throwback to when games **** for technical limitations is inexcusable in 2012/3. THE UGLY: Abandoning the mmo trinity makes for a chaotic cluster#### in groups. Dungeons feel like 5 individuals who happen to be doing the same thing instead **** working together. Along those same lines the zone/group chat on GW2 is the quietest and lamest of any mmo I have played, though maybe that was just my server. Lastly, butter. This vendor will sell me milk, cheese, sour cream, and BUTTERmilk, but if I want butter I have to go kill monsters? The asari can build portals all around the world but haven't figured out butter? Why is a cave dwelling monster man able to make butter (into perfect bars that they carry in cloth bags) but nobody at the huge crafts/artisan market in the sprawling city can? What crap. VERDICT: A very pretty package for a game that makes huge advances for MMOs while still managing to be a WoW clone that utterly fails at finding good solutions to MMO problems. Maybe worth a playthrough for the story in a purely solo run, but overall a bad online game.

The best jRPG in years, maybe the best RPG of this generation (still haven't played Last Story and Skryim is too different for comparison), and one of the best Wii games to date. 'nuff said.

I just replayed Other M and think I understand why so many give this amazing game negative reviews. First, Samus is an actual woman and not just T&A that keeps her mouth shut. Second, complaints that the controls to fire a missile into the face **** monster trying to kill you takes preparation, quick reflexes, and accuracy. People who lack the ability to do those things call the controls bad instead of immersive. Third, haters tend to focus on the story and completely ignore the crisp graphics, heart pumping audio, and tight game play... which for a video game is kind of dumb (nobody is making you watch the cut scenes). Fourth, "they changed metroid!!!" coming out of the mouth of Prime fanboys who fail to realize that Prime was a massive change to metroid for us old fart Super Metroid fanboys.

How **** stupid do you have to be to rant about how this title is more of the same. Last time I checked Zelda games have consistently been awesome. So has Metroid and most Mario games... If it ain't broke don't fix it. Great game though the intro was a bit prolonged.

What kind of person gives a superb game a offensively negative score? Metacritic should not even register the top/bottom 10% of reviews, because the haters and mindless fanboys are making a mockery of the system.

Inferior to **** Dimensions in every way. GRAPHICS: noticeably worse than **** Dimensions, but still good for a Wii game 6/10. ADVENTURE: The story is good comic book fare. Unfortunately combat feels like grinding (how many times do I have to knock you down?!), the health bar is completely unbalanced lasting forever in some areas then disappearing in 3 hits in the next (no natural regen like SD either), many of the achievements require you knowing what to do before hand (instead of skill), and several opponents are cheeeeeeeaaap (seconds of invincible frames, master marksmen, you name it) 2/10. MECHANICS: Again, a huge step backwards from SD. Wall crawling controls seem random at best, the 2099 falling scenes went from awesome to awful, auto targeting wants you to die, collecting the energy balls is Lame, motion controls vary from hyper sensitive to non-responsive, quick time events also vary from all day to you lose before the motion is even on the screen 1/10. EXTRAS: Did I mention that collecting energy balls is stupid? How about the stripped down upgrades system being weak? The part where you have to know exactly what to do to finish some of the timed sections without retrying again? How about how this game is terrible compared to the last one? That the bosses are few and far between and seem to favor dumb luck over skill or strategies? 1/10!

Graphics?! We don't need no stinkin' graphics. Well, almost no graphics. Bit.Trip does more with less than any other game out there. The best part is this collection includes new content! It is so easy for [lazy/bad] companies to simply re-release the same games into collections, but Aksys is better than that.

There is really no reason to ever play this game if Smash Bros is an option. Licensing materials aside, TMNT is inferior in every way. If, somehow, every copy of Smash Bros mysteriously disappeared this would be a good game, but settles for decent instead. For those who are tired of Smash Bros (how?) or just love TMNT beyond reason then this game might be worth a rental.

This is very nearly a great game. Diehard fans of the genre might look past all the failings, but most gamers will be looking for the receipts in under an hour. The title lacks polish- boring dialogue, confusion, the elephant stomp running sound, etc...- to such a degree that it is hard for most gamers to enjoy. Deeper flaws in the game- repetition, clumsy combat, overly complex itemization, etc...- make the game hard for genre fans to enjoy. Diehard fans might look past all that and SEVERELY OVERATE THIS GAME ON METACRITIC, but at the end of the day this game still stinks.

A good game for the Wii. Why such a limited opener? Because the game suffers from a few limitations as well as some harsh comparisons. Compared to Prototype (which is almost the same game) this is a painfully inferior product. Second, as awesome as this game is (it is) for the Wii, the controls are mind-bogglingly **** in certain respects. I will not go into the details, but I will say that if you want a superior game experience play Prototype (seriously, it is about the same game... but better) and if you are a Spider-Man nerd then check out the xbox, ps3, or PC game. That said- this is still an awesome game if you haven't seen the better version or do not mind some [sometimes] **** controls.

This is a good racing game with a few noteworthy failings: 1. Racing does not look or feel very fast, slower than the original F-Zero. While the game does not create the illusion of high speed it does require lightning reflexes or some track memorization because of blind turns, hills, and the white/black strips. 2. Vehicles are poorly balanced. Switching vehicles I went from dead last in every race to 1st/2nd in every race. My friend made the same choice (thinking acceleration would be good for learning) and had the same experience. 3. The collect orbs system is a nuisance that dominates gameplay and removes the risk/reward of F-Zero boosts. CONCLUSION: Fast is a decent game in its own right, but if you look at it as the next F-Zero it is a terrible, terrible step in all the wrong directions.

Simple, elegant, and beautiful, Art of Balance is an instant classic. My only beef with this game is that the lack of community content (that could transform this fairly short title into a daily ritual) feels like a real missed opportunity.

Cave Story is a captivating, brilliant, and nearly perfect game! I did have to deduct a few points for the game being free-to-download on PC but not on Wii which makes this version less desirable in that regard.

One button equals countless hours of enjoyment, best served in small doses. A great 'party' game to get the video game challenged into the mix. Tomena is a small and simple package that delivers with flying colors in that limited regard.

The more I play and think about this game the less I like it. This game takes more steps backwards than forward for the series while losing the heart and soul that 2017 had. From 2017 you sacrifice varied environments, collecting, awesome bosses, epic battles, LOTS of levels, and more bugs (double entrentre- zing) for better graphics, better controls, "classes", revives, and online mode which seems silly as the winning formula of buddy/s+beer+edf does not require internet. The new controls, "classes", and revives are welcome, but the spiffy new graphics come at far to high of a cost. I would gladly have traded the crysis-esq way buildings collapse for some cave levels or the fluidity of my character's movement for a few more baddies on the screen or even the carefully crafted detail of my weapon for a level that isn't a series of checkpoints. Ultimately this game probably has more mass appeal for being as halo as it is 2017, but will never be as beloved by anyone as its predecessor.

THE GOOD: An enjoyable, easy to learn, fighter that features great stages, nice graphics (wii), and an incredible score. THE BAD: The camera CAN BE **** adventure mode in a "Castlevania" game? THE UGLY: Zomg, why did they drag the Belmont's into this title? The character design and story really do not fit in the Castlevania series. This is annoying and cheap marketing that probably hurts perception of this game more than helps.

Mixed" Critic REVIEWS of this game are laughably bad. Any difficulty spike can be skipped or appreciated as a challenge! Others call it the best on the system but give it a 6-7, which speaks more to their attitude toward the system than this game. ACTION: diversity of track types, modes, vehicles, and the Excitebikeriffic track editor mean this game will continue to entertain for a long time. CONTROLS: Dpad and Wii Wheel both work well. Sometimes the controls feel a little tight but with ever increasing difficulty of tacks this becomes a welcome problem. EXCITEBIKERIFFIC: Ignoring for a moment the Wiiware remake, playing Trackmania reminds me of the original NES Excitebike more than any other game I can think of. Quick and deceptively simple tracks along with the editor are nostalgia gold. The music is almost as catchy too

A solid addition to one of the best series in gaming. My only serious qualm with this game is that certain motions with the Wiimote do not register well (thrusting specifically) during kills. Adjusting the sensitivity up and exaggerating your Wiimote motions helps, but even then a perfect kill gets ruined sometimes. Lesser qualms would be the linear level design, occasionally very long "where are you" breaks, and the bogus though completely avoidable (for the true ninja) combat system.

WarioWare could only be called a good game if you like fun. The controls are great and everything about this game is pure delight. Highly recommended for children, drunks, and anyone else who knows how to have a good time.

Two "faults" with this game keep it from a perfect score: the very short single player campaign and a fairly generic feel. The first fault matters if you feel cheated on an hours of entertainment:cost ratio, which is kind of silly given how many hours online mode keeps you playing. The second fault may or may not even go noticed depending on how many FPS you play. Not the best FPS shooter ever made, but amongst the best for the Wii and a solid entry in the genre overall.

This game is an vastly inferior version of Sin and Punishment crossed with a joyless Ghost Squad. GRAPHICS: Not bad. Not particularly impressive either- 5/10 ADVENTURE: The story is barely existent (though laughably bad at times) and the 'action' is snooze worthy. Blowing up flying submarines has never been so boring- 1/10 MECHANICS: On rails done poorly. Your fighter takes up a lot of the screen making maneuvering and seeing just awful. During the boss fights you spend most of your time looking at water as the rails run in strange patterns - 0/10 EXTRAS: This game has arcade style cheap shots. Think about that. A game made for a console has an annoying feature designed to make you spend your hard earned quarters- minus infinity/10

The Malgrave Incident looks and sounds great. The puzzles are repetitive but decent enough. Basically this is a really amazing example of a substandard genre. Worth a rent if you like puzzles or mysteries.

This is one of the best racing games I have ever played. Granted, the 360 version was vastly superior for graphics and feel (emphasis on feel), but this is a solid racer for the Wii and similar in most of the ways that count. People who complain about the controls cannot be trusted- there are 5 schemes that all play differently so at least one of them should work for anybody. Overall an 8 out of 10 for being an inferior port of a near perfect game.

[THE GOOD] There is so much to this game it is breathtaking. So many characters, stages, game modes, etc... it is a DB/Z nerdgasm. The tutorial mode alone will consume over an hour of your time, which brings me to- [THE BAD] The controls for this game are mind boogling. Motion commands are neat but inconsistent, timing based moves are inconsistent, character movement can be erratic, each control scheme comes with a textbook or confusing tutorial, and [THE UGLY] certain combos are amazingly overwhelmingly awesome and broken. The computer likes to use these, but only sometimes, making for even more inconsistency and frustration. If you figure out these combos your friends will refuse to play with you. [TL;DR] Very cool game that is difficult to learn (like, you could learn how to throw real Kamehameha waves in a similar amount of time).

Just want to point out the only mixed or negative reviews for this game basically say. 1. I HAS ALREADY PLAYED THIS SO A RERELEASE OF THE BESTEST GAME EVER IS A 6 SOMEHOW and 2. THE WII HURTS MY WRIST SO I HATE THIS GAME THAT I SAY IS A REALLY GOOD GAME. ALSO I WANT TO EXPLAIN IN 800 WORDS HOW BLAH BLAH BLAH Can... can someone just delete those?

This game is just terrible. It took about the whole tutorial before I was completely bored with the game, the repetitive gameplay, and the unimpressive graphics. The nearest equivalent I can imagine to this game is playing a decade old demo over and over again with some decent cutscenes thrown in. Twisted Metal came out over 15 years ago and is superior to this title in almost every conceivable way. Avoid this game. It is really bad.

Nothing stands out about this game. Running through checkpoints, real time press this button or die events, and cheesy use of motion controls / mini-gamesl lumped together makes for a repetitive and boring title. Fans of the show (I am one) might enjoy a rental, but anyone else would be better of just watching the show or avoiding Man vs. Wild altogether.

A great series gets a worthy port to consoles. Cramming around a keyboard has been replaced with the comfort of the Wii mote, which leaves a hand free for a beverage or gestures indicating what you think of your fellow players. I can think of nothing negative to say about this title- it is the best at what it does and a must own for any trivia fan or to round out your party game collection.

Completely overhyped and overrated. Gamers were basically told that we are supposed to like this game and many never bothered to question that. Read the summary on this game then ask someone who likes GoW why they do. Nine times out of ten their answer will sound like they are reading the summary, almost like rehearsed lines. Clunky gameplay, darkness instead of graphics, overuse of cover system to the point of boredom, very short game (for what was a top dollar release), cliche everything, and nothing new enough to balance just how tired and clearly "borrowed" so much of this game was- all with a sheen of gore and machismo so over the top it is almost laughable. This game had great appeal for people like the movie going audiences that laud each new release as the best movie ever until the next movie comes out, but in the annals of gaming it is a minor embarrassment and little more.

Best fighting game on the Wii. GRAPHICS: clean, fast, amazing- 10/10. ACTION: Fights are fasted paced and unpredictable, the variety of characters is great, and the mini-games are awesome. Basically everything you could want out of a fighter- 10/10. MECHANICS: The controls (Classic Pro) are easy to learn unlike some other fighting games. Special moves are easy to learn and each character has their own style- 10/10. EXTRAS: Having half a cast of relatively unknown characters makes the game BETTER in my opinion. No preconceived notions about who should be good, better than X, or whatever and no nerd rage when Magneto doesn't instantly (instantly) kill Iron Man. Having what are essentially blank slates gives the player (or maybe just me) the chance to make up their own stories for the characters, like how Tekkaman is fighting for gay robot marriage- 10/10.

Critics said it's good. Other critics said it'd **** good. GRAPHICS: It is like bringing the arcade game home, watching it bang a grind house film, then marveling at the abomination they produce 9/10. ADVENTURE: This story is **** brilliant.... as brilliant as it needs to be. 10/10 MECHANICS: So solid it'll rip your **** balls off.10/10 EXTRAS: Tell your friend he ain't ever seen this kind of crazy **** before and strap in for a few hours of Arcade on rails shooter classic minus all the damn quarters. 10/10 This game is what it is and it is all the **** way. If you like shooting zombies, cheesy horror, funk, and shooting zombies you will love this game!

Despite what you may have read on Metacritic CoD:BO is an inferior port for the Wii. First, the game loses several points for playing to the Wii's strength less than being hindered by it's weaknesses compared to the other releases. Second, CoD has always been over-hyped and the franchise is getting old faster than Activision can pump out game after game after game after game... Third, this game was released about the same time as a vastly superior Wii FPS, Goldeneye. In conclusion, if you are a CoD fanboy you should probably go buy a 360/PS3 and if you are a Wii owning fan of fps then you should probably go buy Goldeneye.

Game receives a bum rap for not being Soul Caliber caliber. GRAPHICS: Good by any standard, fantastic for the Wii- 9/10. ADVENTURE: The story, dialogue, and characters all fall into the so-bad-it-is-good category. The real time events/mini-games vary from why-don't-all-games-have-this (monster attacks) to the-developers-must-hate-us (armor repairs). Very limited character selection (8 to start, some play the same)- 5/10. MECHANICS: Mostly intuitive. Without any manual or tutorial we managed to get the slightly sluggish controls down quickly- 7/10. EXTRAS: Considering the cluster-#@^$ that was the development of this game the finished product offers two big rays of sunshine; 1. a solid rental/bargain bin purchase and 2. a good 'rough draft' for a future release that incorporates MotionPlus, more content, and maybe a better Sega license (Eternal Champions anyone?)- 6/10.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Creative and Fun! GRAPHICS: Pure imaginative joy. 9/10 ADVENTURE: The story is weird but the fun is top shelf. 9/10 MECHANICS: This game is very easy to pick up and play. 9/10 EXTRAS: Having Epic Yarn in my game library provides two excellent functions. First, it is a great children's/'terrible at video games spouse' game. Second, anyone who can experience this game and not smile has some serious problems, it's like hating Mr. Rogers or puppies... watch out for these people.

I have a hard time deciding if this is the best game on the Wii or the best game [period] GRAPHICS: Perfect. It feels like playing a cartoon- an awesome cartoon. Great style and greater cool factor. 10/10 ADVENTURE: Travis Touchdown may be the greatest murdering sociopath hero ever. Every encounter feels epic. Every character is memorable. The minigames, humor, and mindblowing awesomeness of it all just cannot be praised enough. 10/10 MECHANICS: Solid. Except for one part playing as Shinobu (jump puzzle/boss fight) I never had any problem with the controls. They were fun (Wiiiii) and intuitive. 9/10 EXTRAS: Did I mention how awesome everything about this game is? Desperate Struggle embraced and ridiculed everything that is gamer/anime/dork culture. I could spend the next 4213 characters explaining how lights out fantastic this game is, but then you would be wasting time not playing it which would be a horrible loss. 11/10

I would only recommend this game to people who like having fun. GRAPHICS: It looks like a Wii game. Either you like the cartoony look or you seethe with anger that your character doesn't have 60,000 strands of hair moving seamlessly or whatever. Personally I side with the former. 7/10 ADVENTURE: Not much to talk about here. Learning and mastering each game is fun. Playing with friends is funner. Forcing your smug friend who is too good to wear wrist weights is funnest. 7/10 MECHANICS: Great! Resort really shows what Motion Plus can do. 10/10 EXTRAS: This game really delivers on the promise of what Wii is supposed to be. Not as revolutionary as the original Wii Sports, but a worthy sequel that improves on just about every aspect of the game. 9/10

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

GRAPHICS- The different looks for each Spider-Man were enjoyable (especially Noir). Overall crisp and clean graphics. 8/10 ADVENTURE- The different play styles keep everything feeling fresh and fun (especially Noir). Minus a few hickups the flow of the action was good, if slightly repetitive, and the story was pure comic book awesome. 9/10 MECHANICS- Surprisingly good for the most part. There were a few minor problems with motion controls and the camera was a bit crazy at times. The detriment of some sloppy controls was nearly balanced by the nerd joy of waving your hand to shoot webbing. 7/10 EXTRAS- It was ambitious to have, essentially, four games in one and worked very well but the game felt too short. The voice acting was top notch, though a bit repetitive (I'm looking at you Ultimate Spider-Man). 8/10 For normal, well adjusted, members of society this game is worth renting just to experience the different styles (especially Noir) and it is a comic geek must own title. This game was very nearly a masterpiece of comic book hero greatness but needed less repetition and a bit more polish. 8/10.
