zelda...that's all i can think about morning, noon, and night lately.
and if you're into sports, then madden '07.
I'll run down the games I've played. These are my personal ratings, and probably heavily reflect rather I like the genre or not. Certainly not unbiased reviews
Super Monkey Ball: Seems like a fun game, if you like this type of game. Controls seemed to map quite well to the Wii controller. RATING: B
Rayman Raving Rabbids (or something like that): So far I've found it to be VERY fun. Lots of little minigames that all make quite fun and unique use of the controls. They really spend a lot of time thinking about different ways to use the Wii controls. The only negative I have about this game is that I got tired fast playing it. Also, my wrists hurt for several days if I spent too long playing it. This game would be a blast at parties. RATING: A
COD3: I didn't like it at all. Although, I'm not a huge FPS fan, so that may be why I didn't like it. Controls were a little clunky, and I had no idea where I was, what I was doing, or who I was supposed to shoot. Which, come to think of it, is probably a lot like war. RATING: D
Trauma Center: Second Opinion: Another fun game. My biggest complaint about it was that there was too much story between the action parts. You'd get done with a surgery, be ready to do another, and have like 5 minutes of talking to sit thorough. Controls work quite well, and it's another game that really fits well to the Wii's controller scheme. RATING: B+
Marvel Ultimate Alliance: I really liked this game, but then again, I really like these types of games. If you want great graphics, stay away from this one thoughUsed the Wii controllers pretty well, although I found that for common things, I would rather use the buttons than the motion. For instance, to attack, you could either push A for wiggle the remote. Since you're attacking all the time, it got irritating to wiggle the remote all the time. Fortunately, they did a really good job of giving you the option of using buttons instead of the motions if you wanted. RATING: A
Agreed. Red Steel is more fun and easier to control. It's also a lot less confusing about what to do next/where to go.Originally Posted by Cubsfan

Red Steel is great, another vote for that, also, I haven't played it yet, but the consensus seems to be that Zelda=<3.

I haven't played any of the Zelda games since the original NES version, but the new one is so much fun. Highly recommended.
Anybody have any recommendations for good multi-player games? Anybody know how Farcry is? From what I read, it's not that great, but there seem to be no good fps out there. I just want something to hold me over until metroid comes out.
Um, Red Steel is a good FPS it is very fun in multi-player. Reminds me a lot of GoldenEye

I just rented this game, and it is a blast! The dancing game in particular is awesome. My elbow is about to fall off. I don't know about the replay value, though. Probably a better rental than purchase, at least for me.

Ditto on Raymand Raving Rabbids! The minigames are a lot of fun, and I'd keep it around for parties and whatnot. It definitely takes a toll on your wrists & arms though.
We also have Excite Truck, and we really enjoy that. It feels a lot like one of the driving games at an arcade, with a bit more out-of-control fun (well, for me anyway, cuz I've always had a hard time controlling driving games). It seems to appeal to everyone, being a huge hit with my hard-core gamer husband, me (a Nintendo fan with a short attention span), and even my 60yr old accountant father.
Also, I haven't tried it, but the guy I talked to at Game Stop was raving about Elebits. He said it took advantage of the remote, and he enjoyed the game play a lot. It's on our rental queue at Gamefly, so I'll let you know how it is when we get it.
Elebits is a lot of fun and having finally gotten to play Twilight Princess. OMFG that game is amazing.

Here's another vote for the new Zelda game. I haven't played it that much yet, but I have seen most of it while my step son was playing it.
Trauma Center is also a lot of fun.
Both of these are must have in my book.
I've also played elebits and frankly I didn't find it all that much fun. Although that could have been because the tutorial mode takes nearly an hour to play through.
Cars was ok, but again not that great. Very hard for me to control with the remote.
Super Swing Golf, I'm on the fence with. I like the concept but the controls are a lot harder to get used to then Wii Sports golf. You might want to rent this one before deciding to purchase it.
i rented elebits for the week...
yeah, this game takes full control of the wiimote's motion sensing capabilities. i love how you can not only lift objects up and down, but you can pull and push them too. the physics of the game is truly amazing.
but with that said, i can't see myself actually buying this game. yeah, it's a bit of a puzzle game which appeals to me but it's also not that captivating. maybe i haven't played it enough yet. the reviews say that this game really shines from the ability to send each other custom levels... perhaps i have to try that.
but for now, yes, the game is truly impressive in its motion sensing aspect. but actual gameplay doesn't do it for me...for now.
After 2 days of playing Elebits, I agree with CornMonkey. Currently, I really like the game. However, not sure if I can see myself playing it for 100 hours or anything. There's something very fun about being able to just chuck objects around the room. Reminds me of the show "Finders Keepers" that was on Nickelodeon for a couple of years in the 80's.
Does anyone else find the "push" and "pull" motions of the Wiimote to be awkward? I think it's neat that they can do it, but whenever I need to do a "pull", I seem to have the wiimote up against my body so that I can't do it.
if i need to pull something (like a door), i just start out with my hand extended way out in front of me. then i press the button, and "pull" the object bringing my hand close to my body. and vice versa.
I can't stop playing Excite Truck. Great game, the onl drawback I can see is that you can't have any more then 2 players.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves: I rented this game this weekend. Like a lot of other games, it's mainly an assortment of minigames. The way they are presented is basically you're showing 1/2 of a cartoon, then you play a series of minigames, and then you see the other 1/2 of the cartoon. Frankly, I didn't like this game very much. For one, I found the cartoons to be very irritating. There was no way to skip the cutscenes and get to the game, and I didn't find them very funny. A lot of the minigames were fun, but I thought that they were presented WAY too quickly. Many times I'd lose the game before I had any idea what I was really supposed to do. It does find a lot of inventive ways to use the Wiimote though, and it gets credit for that. All the reviews I've seen on it are pretty positive, so I must just be an oddball. Rating: C-
Thanks for the review Cubsfan! I honestly need consumer reviews like this before I even think about purchasing a Wii game. I really didn't know what to think about this game. From what i've read, there has been some mixed reviews.
That's actually the point of WarioWare games - they're not difficult overall, but the fun is trying to figure out as fast as possible what to do. I actually thought these games were too slow, and the DS version went much quicker. Overall though, it was creative, and will be a fabulous party game.
I do agree though, the mini-movies were annoying, and over-done. I'd give it a B+.
Actually I am hooked on this game. We rented it and we have all been playing the heck out of it.
This is the next on my purchase list, after Wii Play which I should be getting tomorrow (pre order).
Add another C review for Wario Ware. I've never played any other games in this series, but it was just too ADD for me. And not being able to skip the cut scenes drove me crazy.
I'd rather have raving rabbids.

Wario Ware is KICK ASS. I love that ****.
Really?
The mixed reviews on this game are killing me. Maybe I'll have to rent it
Ugh...Wii Play shipment to the local store was delayed because of the heavy snow up north.
Should be in tomorrow afternoon now...
If you like completely Japped-out mindless puzzles that take a few seconds to complete then go for it. I personally think the game is hilarious and a lot of fun.Really?

if you guys are playing Wario Ware by yourselves, then yes the game is lackluster, to say the least.
BUT...
if playing in a 3+ player environment, oh man, let the good times roll. especially once you start unlocking all the multiplayer modes, theres this one game called Bungie Buddies ...
now, if you turn Wario Ware into a drinking game, then it gets even more ridiculous.....
Got Zelda yesterday. Definately a good one.
Zelda was pretty awesome. I believe it's the only game I've actually played all the way through and didn't cheat. Eventhough I don't check and beat games either, cause if I cheat, I usually stop playing a game soon after
Picked up Wii Play today. Pretty fun. Also went to a local gamestop and picked up 3 nunchucks (now I have 4 wii motes and 4 chucks) and Excite Trucks. I only played it for 23 minutes, but man it rules. I can't wait to race the fiance. She played Wii Sports for like 45 minutes as a mini workout.

===>>>LABELED CANTACUZENE'S DUMBEST PERSON ALIVE!!!<<<===
