1 Star This game sucks
I did not like this game. I could not even get pass the practice level. I do not know how all you people can play this game and call it good.

I want my money back please.

3 Stars Good game, but not great
This is a good game to have. It’s like Wario Ware with all the mini games, but not as great. It’s a bit more frustrating to get a good enough score to open up the next level. Timing in this game is everything. You need to use the stylus and flick or tap it on the screen to try and achieve your goal. If you have a lot of patience, then this is a good game to have.

4 Stars It’s funny
I ilke music and rhythm games

And I found Rhythm Heaven was fun and addictive ^^

I didn’t finish the game yet, but I keep replaying the stages I already finished to master them..

5 Stars Loads of Fun
This games is lots of fun but to play you must have coordination. I would recommend this game to anyone. Once you start playing it is hard to put down.

5 Stars This is a winner!
My daughter asked for this game and I purchased it. It arrived and she started playing. When she finally laid it down I picked it up and she hasn’t seen it since. I can’t believe I sit around playing games but this thing is addictive. I was so excited when I made it past the first three rows and there were more. I sing in a choir and I find my self more “in tune” with the rhythm. I love it and would recommend it to anyone. However this is not for the younger folks!

5 Stars Star War
Great Game. I bought to expand my Wii skills, but the wife took over the game and loves it…..

5 Stars Perfect childhood nostalgia for those of a certain age
For those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s, especially boys, this is a perfect combination of Star Wars, Legos, and a video game — the three toys that maybe most defined my childhood.

The cut-scenes are funny and the gameplay is great, with lots of replay value. My young kids love playing it with me too; they always want to be Yoda. Highly recommended.

5 Stars Not just for kids!
Great game! Cant go wrong for the price. This has filled many, many hours of time. Not just for kids…I’m 39 and I am enjoying this very much. The flying episodes are amazing.

5 Stars Great Game
This game is great! I was thinking that when I bought it that it would be a game that would only be suitable for children, but it is also fun for adults.

3 Stars Doesn’t save very easily
My 6 yo son loves the game, and I enjoy playing with him. However, after spending lots of time moving through the scenes, it doesn’t seem to save very easily. But you could play forever. Maybe that’s not a good thing. I’d recommend the game.

4 Stars Lots of fun!
It gets you moving and works up a sweat. I didn’t think it would and that’s just moving my arms. I haven’t got enough coordination to add the feet, yet, but I’m working on it.

4 Stars Girls will love it
I gave this to a 7 yr. old and she loved it. It was fun for the teenagers too. Learn some dance moves and get a work out.

5 Stars Tons of Fun and Good Exercise
We Cheer is so much fun! While playing you don’t realize the great exercise you are getting. I’m 43 years old and in okay shape. I was a cheerleader when I was younger (in the days when doing a cartwheel was a big deal) and took some dance classes when I was in my 20’s and 30’s (a late bloomer). I am the kind of person that won’t push myself to exercise unless I fool myself into that I am having fun. I get bored with exercise easily, feel tired, and stop what I am doing. With the Wii game We Cheer, I just want to keep going and going. Before I realize it I am out of breath and sweating but don’t want to stop. Tonight dinner will be an hour late because I didn’t want to stop “cheering”! If you are like me, have trouble motivating yourself to exercise but enjoy music and dance or “cheer dance”, GET THIS GAME. You will have so much fun and get some decent exercise!

4 Stars Good but not great
After watching youtube videos of this game I caved and finally bought it. It is a pretty fun game, though if feels like something is missing like song downloads or something. I have only played one player as I only have 2 wiimotes. So I can’t comment on the multiplayer aspect. I wish it would tell you when you had completed the game. I was kind of let down after looking through everything and realizing that it was all open. I was like “that was it?” Overall it is a fun game and gets you off the couch and moving. If you’ve seen the videos and still think you will enjoy it I say go for it but try to find it on sale like I did. I don’t know that I would have paid full price.

5 Stars great game!!
this is a good game!

i got it for my 10 yr. old daughter,

in which she couldn’t stop playing

the game until she beat it.

4 Stars Fun for all ages!!!
As an adult, I had a hard time finding a Wii game I liked – I don’t really enjoy violent games and there’s only so many sports games you can play before you get bored. The alternative, it seemed, was a series of character-based or completely infantile games that were just no fun for me.

Enter Six Flag Fun Park – and it sure is fun!! There are so many different part of the theme park to “explore”, fun ways to interact and surprising games, activities and little “errands” to run. The graphics are excellent, the sound effects are good, and the characters are great fun as a general rule.

The only downside is that there isn’t much in the way of interaction with other “park visitors” and that it’s much easier to accumulate tons of tickets for some games than the coins/money needed for others.

The only other comment I would make is that, while there is a multiplayer option, it’s nowhere near as fun, detailed & interactive as the “adventure” mode.

All in all, I think this is a great game for kids or for adults who are looking for good-natured (aka non-violent) fun.

3 Stars Mediocre Game
I picked up this game without reading any reviews, so I was a little disappointed that it did not take advantage of the Wii technology. I found some of the mini-games hard to figure out. The quests are fun, but after a while, it feels like you have accomplished all there is to accomplish in this game, and the mini-games grow somewhat stale. I think this game could have been much better, and I wish I would have rented it instead of buying it.

2 Stars Not nearly as good as Thrillville or Carnival Games
This game is nothing more than mini-games and weak ones at that. I found the controls cumbersome and the graphics very sub-par. Most of the time you’re sent around on missions and spend a lot of time picking up trash, pulling weeds and planting trees. The characters talk in this strange mumbo jumbo rather than speaking plain English. After one hour of playing I decided to get rid of this game and sell it on eBay. Total waste of time. If you want to play mini-games I suggest Thrillville or Carnival Games.

2 Stars A terrible game though some kids might find it fun
The first problem with this game is that the Six Flags title and cover of the game does not accurately represent the content. There are just a few rides in the game (and you can barely call them that) and a slew of 15 or so pathetic mini-games with awkward controls that are used over and over (just in different forms so they are lying about there being 40 games). There are different lands and a central story (though weak at best) but the bulk of the game is running around trying to fulfill missions (talking with people, winning certain prizes in the games, etc.).

The graphics are terrible and it crashes our Wii every other day or so (and we have no mods so there should be no problem). Even after saving the game in an appropriate manner my wife will come back a day later and find that she’s lost a few hours of work.

If you want a game with rides, mini-games, and missions, get Thrillville; if you just want a collection of mini-games, get Mario Party 8 or Carnival Games (though the physics engine is terrible at least).

5 Stars Not just for kids! So funny!
This game is *really* fun.

At first blush, you’d figure it’s just a kid’s game, but the humor in this game is top notch. It’s like going into a Pixar film expecting a kids movie and laughing out loud many times throughout!

The minigames are a lot of fun, too, and a lot of the humor comes out even in the concepts for the games. My favorite is Alien Slime Attack — you slime little kids with a slime gun so an alien can run over and eat them! (It sounds a lot darker than it is — the whole game is very tongue-in-cheek and absolutely hilarious. Just wait until you see the “Bunny of the Night”!)

Seriously, check out this game. It’s loads of fun.

1 Star Just Terrible
When I heard Sonic and the Black knight was coming out and was finally going to be a good 3-d sonic game I was excited. I bought the game but when I played it is just was… terrible. The story mode gameplay is pointless and just running around (you don’t even control the running) and waggling the wii remote. The boss battles were also terrible. It just waggling the remote and hoping that it hits the boss. It really is quite terrible. The story mode is very easy and gets over extremely fast. Even if you like waggling the remote the game still gets over very quickly. Finally the online play. It is crap. You compare your scores to other peoples scores and half the time it doesn’t work. The multiplayer mode was their chance hit big like with brawl. Unfortunately, the screwed that up as well. It just more pointless waggling and just gets boring. Don’t be fooled by reviews commending the game it deserves not to be bought at all. It really is just terrible.

4 Stars suenryan
Bought for my son….he seemed to complete it really quickly though, not sure it was worth the money……..

4 Stars Sonic after the secret rings
the story is like sonic and the secret rings but the game is better it’s easier to control fun to play not as fun as sonic unleashed but one thing i’d change about the game is multiplayer mode thats kind of boring also great music if u love sonic music

5 Stars Awsomness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is one of the best Sonic games out there. Where Sonic weilds a sword, it is a nice addition to the Sonic series. Think of it as playing a Sonic game, with the same controls to control your sword as The Legend of Zelda twilight princess for the Wii. It has a great story and great graphics. I would highly recomend this to any Sonic fan out there.

5 Stars Awesome, but easy
This game is awesome. You use a sword, which is actually fun. The Blacksmith can make new swords, and you can have sword fights in multiplayer. Plus, after you beat the King, you can use Gawain(Knuckles), Lancelot(Shadow), and

Percival(Blaze) on certain levels. There are lots of side missions, and you can get people to follow you(wave at you when you play) by doing well and giving poor people rings. However, the main story is easy(about 5 hours for me) but getting all the bonus and multiplayer characters will take a while. Awesome game!

5 Stars Addicting
This is a great game. There are so many things to do–fishing, mining, gardening, harvesting, meeting people, gathering pets, courtship and marriage. And all that is only the daily stuff, the main goal is finding clues, opening rainbows, and restoring the Harvest Moon Goddess to the island. The seasons come and go, you can compare your yearly incomes in all your resources. It’s so awesome to play, it’s difficult to find an ending spot, cuz there’s always something you want to do the next day. The most important help I found was the refreshing spring behind the waterfall which restores all your stamina. At first you lose your stamina very quickly until you upgrade your tools, but you can go to the spring once a day and regain your stamina. The game keeps lists of all the fish you catch, crops you plant, gems you mine, etc and I like to try to complete the lists. We’ve had the game since Feb and I’ve completed it once and am doing it again, cuz I didn’t get married the first time. What I love about this game is the variety and challenge to do it all.

5 Stars Harvest Moon Wii
Great game made even more fun for the Wii. My daughter loves it and it has been a great way to spend time together when we play.

5 Stars It is an homage to past Harvest Moon games
The whole Harvest Moon series of games is very addicting. This addition certainly doesn’t lack that quality. With the addition of some new (weird) animals, it is a little more strange than the other games (the new animals are ostriches and silkworms), but it works them in well. Gameplay is smooth, load times are a little long, but not distractingly so. Sound quality is not very good, but it more than makes up for that in amount of addicting fun that the game produces. Heck, even my video game-hating girlfriend can’t put the controller down after starting a game.

This is certainly worth the money

4 Stars Nice addition to the series
I got this game the day after it came out and I was and still am very impressed with the vast amounts of improvments it has undergone.

The Gameplay: It is very simalar to Magical Melody, this time around instead of collecting notes you collect ingrediants for rainbows to revive the island. The tasks are the same–raise crops, animals, make friends and marry to have a kid but in terms of this aspect of game play more villagers, animals as well as crops have been added to keep the player busy. Rivals can get married and have a kid too which is a plus. My complaint regaurding the child you have is the fact that they don’t grow up AGAIN (Natsume and Marvelous need to bring back the ageing system in my opinion) but the plus side to this is you do get to choose the gender and once they are fully “grown” they do chores for you and you even can “play” as them; this basicaly is a new game+ where you start from the beginning with all the money from the previous file and all tools start at level three. If playing the game doesn’t appeal to you, the minigames you can play are a nice break; they range from mole whacking to stone skipping to horse racing. Overall, the game has lots packed into it for hours of play.

Graphics: They are pretty comparable to Harvest Moon a wonderful life except maybe a tad better; objects and characters have smoother outlines and more detail and the animations for characters are a bit more real. My only complaint here is…well, I am disappointed that the main character (boy) was compleatly redone from the ground up and looks nothing like any of the previous main characters (from the snes, N64, PS etc.) but overall the graphics are better.

Controls: The game offers a few ways to play here, though they aren’t that impressive. You can play with either the wii remote and nunchuk, or classic controller. The wii remote can use “motion sensitivity” with tools and such but I would hardly call it that; all you need to do is lift the remote up and bring it down…yay not…for one, it makes watering crops and such harder than it needs to be and the motion just makes me feel stupid so I wouldn’t recommend this method. The much simpler way to use tools is to just press the A button. The classic controller is ok…it’s supposed to bring a “classic” feel to gameplay but it doesn’t.

Overall: I would highly recommend this title its one of the best in the series due to the improvments although more improvments are needed. Both fans of the series and newcomers alike will enjoy this title. BUY IT!

5 Stars Hours of Entertainment
This game has taken hours and days to play. Once you start it is addicting and you will need to tell yourself that it is time to go to bed. There are so many details in the game, so many steps to take, so many things you can do….it seems the game can be played for years.

My wife, kids and I have all played and at times fight for “whose turn it is”.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed

Star Wars The Force Unleashed




The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader’s “Secret Apprentice” and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi – and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.

As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader’s secret apprentice, but you’ll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuck you’ll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, “Battle Mode.” Joining the Dark Side doesn’t seem like such a bad idea after all.

Game Features:

  • During the period between Episodes III and IV, players hunt Jedi in the role of Darth Vader’s Secret Apprentice.
  • Unleash and upgrade the Secret Apprentice’s four core Force powers – Force push, grip, repulse and lightning – throughout the course of the game, and combine them for ultra-destructive, never-before-seen combos.
  • Examples of unleashing the Force in ways never thought possible:
    • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force push enemies into walls – he’ll Force push enemies through walls.
    • The Secret Apprentice won’t just Force grip foes to throw them aside – he’ll Force grip them in midair, zap them with lightning, then drop them to the ground to explode like a bomb.
  • In addition to new adversaries created just for the game, such as fugitive Jedi and Force-sensitive Felucians, players will also confront and associate with familiar faces from the Star Wars films, including Darth Vader.
  • Visit locations such as Episode III’s Wookiee homeworld Kashyyyk and the floral Felucia, the junk planet Raxus Prime, plus an Imperial TIE fighter construction facility.
  • The Wii system’s “Battle Mode,” a one on one fighting arena simliar to the classic game, Star Wars: Masters of Ter
