1 Star Worst Wii game ever – DO NOT BUY
I do not own too many games, but I cannot imagine anything worse than this game. The graphics are ok. Music is annoying. The controls are horrible; which makes the gaming experience unbearable.

I have never written a review about anything. This game is so horrible that I wanted to make sure no one waste a penny on it.

2 Stars Wii Deca Sports
This has lots of neat games, but you can tell its not from Nintendo. There’s a pause from the movement on the controller to when it appears on the screen. Not like in other WII games. Overall, its ok once you get use to that.

4 Stars Lots of Fun
All ages of kids in our house like this game – lots of options and lots of fun for everyone

5 Stars Great involver….Deca
Deca Sports Found sport to be easy to install and helps our granddaughter, Bella, exercise without it being drudgery. We need more like Yoga for everyone….

4 Stars We like it, can’t understand all the complaints!
We rented this game before buying it and have really enjoyed it for the most part. Especially curling, archery, and figure skating. Haven’t had any issues with the responsiveness so I’m wondering if some of these bad reviews are coming from people that aren’t using their remotes and sensor bars properly. However, there are a few games that we don’t spend much time playing, just because they’re a little blah, so I would recommend renting this game before buying it to see if it’s a hit for you and your family or not. Considering the amount of games that you get on the disc, even at $30 if you enjoy half of them, I think it’s a steal!

Rayman Raving Rabbids



Rayman Raving Rabbids is the edgiest and most off-the-wall gaming experience in the history of the Rayman franchise. This new Rayman game features the funniest, zaniest, wackiest antics ever when hordes of nasty bunnies invade Rayman’s world. They enslave him, forcing Rayman to participate in a series of gladiator-like trials. In order to win his freedom, Rayman must entertain and outwit these crazed, out-of-control bunnies.

Beat the bad bunnies and become a superstar!

Welcome to a new generation of Rayman
You’d be hard-pressed to find a game with as much character as Rayman Raving Rabbids. From the creative minigames to the quirks of the bunnies, this game packs an immense amount of entertainment on one disc. It’s rare in games that failing during a competition can bring you as much joy as actually succeeding, but Rayman Raving Rabbids does an admirable job of rewarding your failure with a large dose of comic screams, flying plungers and crossed eyes.

Of course, the point is to succeed and not let the bunnies laugh at your failure. Rayman Raving Rabbids may have a lot of style but it has very little plot. Each level consists of four minigame challenges and one “boss battle,” so to speak. If you complete at least three of the minigames, the main gate opens, allowing you to take on a greater challenge. Once you play a minigame in the Story Mode, you unlock that minigame and can play it at any time and against friends.

Exercise your Wii Remote
Hand it to Ubisoft’s development crew as they really took advantage of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers’ capabilities. Some minigames are as simple as twirling the Wii Remote like a lasso and pushing a button to launch a cow as if you were in a hammer throw competition. Some minigames really test your coordinating, asking you to swing the Nunchuk like a jump rope and flicking the Wii Remote up to make Rayman jump.

Each level has one consistant challege, however: a rhythm game. As a song plays, the bunnies approach a spot on either stage left or right. When they hit that spot, you’ll shake the Nunchuk (if the bunny is on the left) or the Wii Remote when the rabbid hits the mark.

When you take on the boss stages, you’ll find yourself, more often than not, playing a rail shooter. The Wii Remote becomes your light gun, firing plungers at the horde of oncoming rodents. When your plunger supply runs out, shake the Nunchuk to reload. In recent years, the rail shooter (where you don’t control the movement) has been forsaken for the first-person shooter and free movement. The Rayman boss experience will make rail shooter fans rejoice. If other shooters can perform as well as the plunger-fueled firing action of Rayman Raving Rabbids, the genre will come back with a vengeance.

Impressive replay value
There’s extra incentive to play the many minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids. When you complete a game in Challenge Mode, the game gives you a code that you can enter at the Rayman Web site which basically gives you access to special features on the site.

The minigames of Rayman Raving Rabbids skew toward a younger audience, and at first, an above-average gamer should find the games to be pretty easy. However, once the minigames are unlocked, a big challenge awaits you to get the highest scores and blast your friends in multiplayer challenges. That’s when the real party begins! Rayman delivers exactly what the Wii promises: fun and lots of it. Here’s hoping the bunnies come back for multiple invasions!

5 Stars I’ll get you, you rascally rabbid!
This game is a crowd pleaser. It’s so much fun playing this with a group of people or by yourself. You get to be mean to rabbits and do crazy things like milk a cow or race on a bull-hog looking thing. The games seem endless and the fun is non-stop when you’re shooting crazy rabbits with plungers…

5 Stars Great Game, Great price
Got this game for an Easter gift. I heard that this is the best Rayman game.

I even got it for a better price. You can’t help, but laugh. Our friends come over, and want to play this all the time. It is a good party game.

5 Stars Love it!!
We love to play this game as a family. There are some parts that I am good at other my husband and others that only my kids can pass. Favorite game so far.

5 Stars bought it as a gift
Bought it as a gift, the kids enjoyed the game and find it very fun. Great party game for kids of all ages.

4 Stars I like the TV party better
I like the TV party better, but I got this one AFTER that game. This one is the beginning and has the variety and fun. I haven’t been able to “save” if I don’t get through an entire round of challenges so I need to figure that out. I’m partial to being a Rabbid character rather than Rayman (that is the character you are in this game) but overall, for the price, it’s a great deal!

4 Stars So much fun
The Sport pack really enhances the games. It was a great investment for my Wii.

1 Star 9 in 1
the remotes work a lot better than the 9 in 1 the games just dont “respond” as well.

1 Star Cheap
This is cheap plastic. It has already cracked and the screw on groves are cheap. Do not buy this product. I regret it already because it was a waste of money.

4 Stars Wii Pack
I bought this for my grandson and I don’t think he plays with it that much.

The pieces are sort of awkward to play with and maybe an adult would like them better.

1 Star Faulty equipment
The product does not work with the Wii remote controllers. Had trouble getting the controller laser to line up when attached to the pieces. Tried 5 of the attachments and none would work.

Please note this is a review of the product not the seller.

This controller grip allows the user optimum comfort while enjoying their gaming experience. It has a traditional mold that users are accustomed to and is a great option to the otherwise awkward rectangular shape of the remote itself, which eases the stress on the hands and wrist. The ribbed design allows a more secure grip so that it does not slip out of your hands while playing and also does not cause your hands to perspire. Simply by placing the Wii controller in the center of the grip, you are ready to click away and enjoy endless hours of entertainment.

1 Star what a waste
Honestly, I thought this would be worth it. But, a lot of other games I play require the wii classic controller. So, I could’ve just bought that and have been able to use that as a regular controller instead of buying this.

Do yourself a favor and just buy the wii classci controller. You’ll get more use out it and won’t waste money like I did.

5 Stars wii controller grip
This grip works really well for what it is. We use it often and will definitely purchase more.

5 Stars Well worth it!
Excellent product. The only thing I find a bit annoying is that the strap has to be removed. Other than that, the Wii-remote fits perfect and it’s extremely comfortable.

5 Stars How cheap are you?
This is a great product, but its kinda sad that you are too cheap to just buy the classic controller. Personally I have four classic controllers and four Nyko classic controller grips. It a pricey set up but totally worth it. If you have tiny fingers and only play NES games on your wii this is wonderful idea because the wiimote was previously so akward to hold sideways. If your loaded pick some of these up for Mario Party 8. Otherwise just buy a classic controller for yourself and make your friends suffer with the slick like controller. (Do you really want to be playing SSB Brawl on a wiimote?) If you already use your wiimote as a regular controller and have no intentions of upgrading this is a no brainer purchase.

2 Stars Not worthy of the name
Everything about this game gives me the impression that it was rushed out the door without being tested thoroughly, and that’s just sad. Even the DS game was better than this.

The game loosely follows the plot of the fourth and final season of the show, ending with the freeing of William from Xana’s control; the gameplay is almost exclusively confined to Lyoko, with the option to switch between characters at will depending on which weapon or ability you want to use. Also, in addition to the four original sectors and Sector 5, there’s a new volcanic sector.

To be fair, the graphics are competent for the most part, if a little vanilla, and the voice acting is entertaining; I especially like the option to switch between English and subtitled French, probably the only opportunity American Code Lyoko fans will ever have to hear the characters’ voices as they were originally performed. It’s worth pointing out too that the bits in the Digital Sea were fun, although the weapons took some getting used to. But everything else about this game just seems horribly broken to me.

For one thing, every time I played a level on the new volcanic sector, the graphics started to lag and everything suddenly turned maddeningly slow and jerky. For another, the characters’ weapons are completely unbalanced; of the four, only Odd has a ranged weapon that can be fired while running–Aelita has to completely freeze every time she fires, and Yumi and Ulrich’s weapons are so ridiculously short-ranged that you almost have to be right on top of the enemies before they start to take any damage–so you’ll probably end up using Odd almost exclusively. (Incidentally, why does Ulrich start off only using one saber when you can see two hilts on his back?) The health stations and checkpoints are scattered throughout the levels more or less at random, and Aelita’s connect-the-dots block building and Odd’s Metroid-style wall jumping take entirely too much getting used to. Add in the fact that there’s no camera control, and you could hardly be blamed for suspecting that the designers are indeed out to get you.

But the biggest slap in the face is the ending, or the lack of one; once you’ve beaten the game, you’re treated to a clip that lasts about five seconds and a credits sequence that’s identical to the one from the show, the one with the Subdigitals song and the file folder. That’s all the game has to reward you with; hardly worth the effort it took to get there. I was also stunned to see that the game doesn’t even allow you to explore Kadic Academy beyond a tiny strip outside the main gate; and although the other characters from the show are hanging around, talking to them yields almost nothing except the occasional “goodie” (usually a still frame from the show or a bit of concept art). One thing I did enjoy was a gallery of entries from a contest that was apparently held at some point; I don’t know any of the details, but it was still fun to see some original monster designs from the fans. I can’t recommend this game for hardcore Code Lyoko fans, because it doesn’t add anything to the story that you didn’t already get by watching the show, and the game doesn’t provide nearly enough background for non-fans to have any hope of following the plot. And either way, the gameplay is so broken that it’s not worth the money. Give it a miss.

4 Stars Good Game but Needed More
This was a great game in itslef but it lacked some key factors. While it represented the 3-D aspects of the show terrifically it left much to be desired. The animated sequences of the show are boiled done to a few seconds of dialogue and a cutscene. There is nearly zero interactivity in these sections giving the game a feeling of all-action and little story. This means that you really should have seen the show before getting the game. On top of this, what little story there is deviates from the show. Don’t get me wrong I liked it besides its faults for its great battle mechanics and puzzles in the 3-D portions. So if you just want to fight like a Lyoko Warrior and forget the story then this is your game.

4 Stars Code Lyoko
My son enjoyed this game because you get to be different characters in the game play. He said he enjoys watching the Code Lyoko show on TV and now he can enjoy playing and being the different characters.
