the bat, the bowling ball, and the Mii
HEY would you look at that my first Wii review, and its one of the first Wii games that came out, we must be part of the matrix. So this time I will be reviewing a game that involves you being outside and doing something active without actually going outside and doing anything active what's that game Wii Sports of course.
So how do you talk about the Graphics of a game that was made to show off what the Wii is capable of control wise, wall all you do is use the characters you can make on the console itself and then turn them into the playable character's of the game and BOOM taco, I mean graphics. Its kind of hard to talk about the graphics of a launch title because well the game was not made to be perfect (its kind of hard to talk about everything of a launch title for that reason) so really you have to look at how it looked back then instead of how it looks now its pretty much the same way you review the graphics of old NES and SNES games it may look bad now but back in the day Duck Hunt couldn't look more realistic (one thing that still stays true to today is we all want to blast the duck hunt dog in da face) so looking at the game from that perspective means that even though the characters don't look realistic (because you play as your Miis) and the environment also arnt made to spectacular I can safely say that I still kind of like the graphics there not amazingly perfect there also not amazingly imperfect either so its kind of in-between. Putting that all together I can give the Graphics of Wii sports a 5 out of 10 there not great graphics but there also not graphics I want to pull my hair out looking at either.
SWING THAT BAT I LIKE HOW IT SOUNDS (that can be taken many different ways 0,o) but the sound of Wii sports is good I like how they got a lot of sounds that you would here if you where in the scary place (the outside world) like how you hear the wind if you swing a bat the sound of a boxing glove hitting another glove the satisfyi...

With Great power comes......... well you know
Spider Man Spider Man.............. Spider Man, so it seems like with every great game there is some game that comes out that is not so great and a example of this is Spider Man The Movie....... The Video Game? But anyways here's my review of the game known as Spider Man the Movie.
So ya the Graphics well the graphics of Spider Man isn't really that good I mean I know its on the game cube and all that tangos but really I feel like they could have done much better on the graphics and in the little opening they have before the game starts is AWESOME which proves to me that they did not try there best on the games graphics and well its just not how the game itself looks (well what I'm about ready to stay kind of fall under that category) but the environment doesn't look that good either like if you are in a level that you are outside swingin around and you look down everything looks like a flat picture and there really isn't anything that looks that great on the ground (and you can go down and look at the surface because if you go down to far you hit a kill box and DIE). And the character models don't look to snazzy either and there's a lot of enemies that are the same like you could be in a room full of enemies and most (and probably will) will look the same and its not a bad thing per say but its like I said about the over all graphics they could have done better then what they did. So all of that put together lets me give the almost passable Graphics a 4 out of 10.
SOUNDS AND STUFF (couldn't think of a snazzy one liner for this part :( sadly) so ya the sounds of the city are something to behold (in real life) but in this game there not so great and here's a list of 'the things that involves sounds that in my opinion they could have done better' 1. the voice acting is kind of bad 2. the only music I can remember is the song that plays on the menu screen 3. the majority of the guns either sound the game or they just don't sound to interesting or...

YOU SHALL NOT PASS, oh wait wrong series
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls join me as we journey into the ever awesome land of Harry Potter. So of course as you can already tell this will be a review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (why does it has to be spelled so weird) but I would like to state first of all this game reminds me of Legend Of Zelda Wind Waker and/or Twilight Princess (more specifically the GameCube version). But ya on to the review.
The Graphics......... ya I honestly don't really know what to say about the graphics (this is a game I don't grow up playing so its kind of hard to say if 'back in the old days it looked great or not) but it does look 'ok' I guess you can tell that the game was made on the geometric achievement that is the GameCube and that's not a bad thing but I think that they could have done a bit better on the character designs. But the areas are kind of well done with how they are designed I find if fun just to run around in the building looking at all the place that can go and see how the areas look and well they are done really well and they look like Hogwarts from the movies so that's always plus in my book. This might be a bit of a nitpick but I felt like the spells should have a bit more of a bigger explosion (I guess you could say explosion) when ever it hit something because they felt a bit underwhelming to me but once again that just might be a nitpick. So the characters don't look perfect the areas are big and well designed and stay true to the movies and I think that if they could do that (which they did) then I think that they at least deserve a 6 out of 10 for the Graphics and that is the score that they will be getting (well at least for my review).
Can you hear that its Sound (corny joke to introduce the next part, check) honestly I can not remember one tune form the sound track of this game and it might fall under the category of it takes some music from the series that it is based off of and some new music that's kind ...

LEGO Star Wars

Its a great Sunday Funday game, but better, and with Legos
Well now what a very.......... different type of game why because it takes 3 things that was part of a lot of our childhood Legos Star Wars and video games so if you where to take all those and put 'em in to a blender not only would you get a lot of pieces of broken discs and some chopped up Legos but you also get a fun and sorta tangy drink that's fine to look at but its also a enjoy experience when you get to drinking this metaphorical drink. so what's so great about Lego Star Wars The Video Game well sit back and read on and find out.
So the Graphics ya.......... the graphics there, there............ interesting as EVERYTHING is made out of Legos now that in its own right is something to be proud of, but ya everything from the characters to the bushes to the ground everything is made out of Legos that must of took a lot of time to do, they also when as far as to make it so that when ever you make something go kaboom (which is always a fun thing to do right) it explodes in a shower of Lego pieces that bounce all around like it would if you walked up to your five year old brothers Lego collection and just gave it a good round house kick its flat plastic face. Contradiction time, while the area of play is made out of all Legos the background to some places are not made out of Legos any area that is in a outside environment has a kind of sorta 'photo realistic background that isn't really that noticeable but is still noticeable, personally I find that the second game has a more noticeable background but hey that's just me. But all in all the graphics are really great and they are really unique to I mean not only are they made out of Legos but they done a good job of remaking stuff like the Droid Factory to General grievous's ship to the attack on titan I-I mean attack on kashyyyk they really tried to make you relive the movies in a more Lego-ish type of experience and for that they get a 8 out of 10 in my book.
Now its time for a Sound check, we... Read the rest of this Review

Mario Kart Double Dash

Two for the price of one game
Alright so its been a while but I decided that I was going to start back to doing video game reviews and to start that off I decided that I would do a review of the very first game on the very first system that I ever owned via bought it and that game is: Mario Kart Double Dash on the Nintendo GameCube (by the way is it spelled GameCube or Game Cube, oh well I'm just probably going to call it GCN most of the time anyways)
Like always the first thing to be talked about is the Graphics and HOT SLAM this game looks really good even for todays standards I'm not sure what it is but the GCN had the ability to make games look really good and a lot of games still look really good today. The thing that makes this game look really really good is that it has some bright colorful graphics and the worlds are greatly detailed kind of like Super Mario Sunshine (possible foreshadowing a future review), the character animations looks really nice and fluid and you could tell that Nintendo took time out to make this game great and that's nice because this was the first and I think only Mario Kart game on the lunchbox (don't quote me on that). One of my favorite areas in the game to go to just because of the fact that it showcases how well the game looks and the amount of detail that was put in is DK Mountain man does that place look good, but ya all of that gives the games Graphics a combined total of 9 out of 10.
And now is the Sound, well like most people who played this game as a kid over the years should know that the flippen title theme is a ear worm and WONT GET OUT OF MY HEAD. So ya the sound, mainly the music is really good I personally like the sound that plays when a area is being shown off before the race starts, but I also like the sound of some of the karts mainly the sound you can hear when you get the karts ready to go before the start of a race. Another sound that sounds nice is the sound of when you hit someone else's kart when you have the star ... Read the rest of this Review
