User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Many new features and charcters
I think this is a worthy upgrade to the original Clash of Ninja Revolution for Wii. There are several characters that have not been seen in other Clash of Ninja games, either for the Wii or GameCube.

There are also some new features, including the Tag Team fights, where you and an opponent can switch between 2 characters in a fight. Specific pairs of characters can do combo specials that are really cool if you’re familiar with the characters in the anime or manga.

The controls can be as complex or as simple as you want, which is one of the more innovative features of this series. You can use GameCube controllers, Wii Classic Controllers, Wii Remotes and the Wii Nunchuck. You can also take advantage of some advanced controls, like the new Hand Signs, or just skip those and still be competitive.

While I think this game is very fun and love what’s new, I wish they would have done a bit more upgrading to the basic engine of the game. The style and overall structure of the game hasn’t change much since the days on GameCube. I feel like there is room for improvement, but overall this is a solid game that will provide a lot of replay value.

4 Stars A solid game. However it lacks innovation.
This is a good game that has a lot going for it. Nevertheless, I found that it didn’t really feel any different than the previous installment. There is a great selection of characters, and the action is still good. The graphics are nice, however they don’t take advantage of the Wii, and the uncreative story mode still uses the lame 2D sprite cut-scenes. The music and voice work are still nice but also repeated. There are a couple of new gimmicks like throwing paper bombs, that use motion sensing, but they don’t add much. There is also a new tag-team mode which allows unique moves between some characters. Overall, if you have played the previous games this is just more of the same. If you are new to the franchise, this is a good place to start.

Also, for those who care: there is no option for japanese voice-overs.

5 Stars Its great!
My 12 year old has great reviews for this game. He gave it a 5 star rating. He says there are a lot of cool characters and everything in general is liked.

5 Stars hours and hours of fun for my son
My 8 yr old played for hours and hours on this game unlike most of his other selections!He loves it.Its not too hard and and not too easy.

4 Stars Good
Its a pretty good game. Takes a while to get used to the controls and gameplay.

5 Stars For 10 bucks, don’t hesitate to get it.
Sorry to see that some other reviewers find this game boring. My solution: don’t just stand there, shaking your remotes — get dancing! For anyone who loves to “shake that thing”, it will get your heart rate up and put you in a great mood. (Even when the controls aren’t quite working for me, I’m having a blast, and apparently so is my Mii and all of its little friends, jumping to the beat at Carnaval in Rio.) I try to get in a half hour every morning before work, and it really starts the day off right. The graphics & the music alone are worth way more than the 10 bucks they’re asking for it now — get it, and let your inner samba dancer cut loose!

5 Stars WE LOVE THIS GAME!!! FUN AND CHEAP!!!
WE LOVE THIS GAME. DON’T LET THE PRICE FOOL YOU. THE TEEN GIRLS PLAY THIS FOR HOURS!!

4 Stars Awesome fun! Kids love it, great cheesy music!
This is really a great game, and the controls seem just fine, according to my kids. You just never know what to think of the pro reviews. It seems like sometimes they mistake not being good at the game with poor control. My kids aren’t having any problem, and I love having it on in the background. The cheesy, cheesy covers are just great and so catchy. So much fun. It looks like a really fun rhythm game that seems to be easier than guitar hero and rock band, which makes it more fun for the younger kids. At under 10 bucks, it it a fantastic deal.

4 Stars Who knew maracas could be so fun?
When I bought this game, I was a little wary because I only paid $10 for it. However, it turned out to be a sound investment in fun because my 3-1/2 year old daughter and I have a blast playing this game. It’s easy enough for my daughter to play without needing a lot of help from mom and dad and the music is fun to listen to…you really do get into it!

The only complaint I have is that sometimes the controls can be frustrating, but other than that, it is a super fun game and I’m really glad I took a chance on it.

5 Stars Just Dance a Little!!!
Samba de amigo is a really cool game. I buyed it and played it a lot with my friends, it’s really tropical and the music is really fun. For people like me that don’t dance too much, is great because you have the oportunity to shake your bootie… I have to tell you that it’s a really fun game to play with a bunch of friends and show your abilities with the maracas.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Hard to learn but worth it.
For us older generation, it takes a bit to learn. But it is a lot of fun. I’m a bit disappointed that when you set the timer for workout mode that you have to pause so long between songs and choose another song. It would be better if I could just keep going, non-stop, for the 15 minutes (or whatever time is selected). The pauses ruin the “workout”.

4 Stars Great Fun for all!
This game is a blast! It challenges all levels of “dancers” and even has a setting that lets two people work together to achieve a higher score. The music selection is fairly broad, however, there are a few songs that you feel the urge to skip over. Another cool feature of the game is that it has a workout mode that will keep track of how many calories you burn while playing! Some of the battle levels are frustrating as the scoring isn’t always consistent, but overall it’s a great game and is even more fun when you play with others!

4 Stars Fun For All
This game is great! It’s got lively music, fun colors and sets and is addicting! It’s got several different modes that enable to you play against the computer or a partner or with a partner, so that together you can beat more difficult stages. The score rating is a bit harsh and inconsistent the higher you get into it, but it’s fun to play, so that doesn’t really matter!It’s a great party game (when you purchase additional dance pads) or can be played for enjoyment on your own! Overall, it’s an awesome game and won’t disappoint!!

1 Star disappointed
I brought the game used and I guess you get what you pay for. The disc didn’t work and I had to send it back.

2 Stars Boring and not Dancing
My daughter and I played this for about a half an hour right after I got it and we found it just ok. It doesn’t have anything to do with dancing except for the music. You are not dancing, you are just stepping on arrows and waving your hands when they come up.

It might be fun for kids but not anyone older. If you want to get off your duff while having fun, try the new Live Active Outdoor Challenge game. It is awesome!Active Life Outdoor Challenge

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars This game is amazing!
This game is extremely realistic. I own a Black Knight and the game version is an exact copy. If you like some of the older Williams games this title is a must have. I just hope they make another version w/ some additional titles.

5 Stars Fun game!
I enjoy playing this game. With pinball, each play is different so I never get bored. I hope they release pinball games from other manufacturers too, such as Gottlieb. I’m a happy customer! Fun! Fun! Fun!

5 Stars I feel like I’m in HighSchool again!
Let me be clear, I LOVED TAXI in highschool. Loved it.

If I didn’t already have a Wii and if the only game I got in the packaged game was TAXI, I’d have bought it all to have this game.

It is SO like the actual game. The only flaw I can find is that I used to be able to get “Gorby” with the right flipper, and I can’t quite do it wth this game. Only a TAXI fanatic would pick on this. And that flaw is a drop of water in an ocean. They also mimicked the “free game” crack-sound. The machine used to really resound when it “cracked”. They got the sound, but you can’t really mimick that unique feel of the real thing.

I CANNOT BELIEVE how WELL they mimicked the actual game. Even the slight randomness of when you pull back the spring lever to put the ball into play. Its never perfectly repeatable. And they got it down.

When I heard “Comrad Taxi” for the first time, I felt like a million bucks, I LOVED this game. And now I have it, without the full sized machine sitting in my house.

I felt like I did years ago. Sometimes I’d leave slightly dejected with the “I’ll get you tomorrow TAXI” feeling, sometimes so gleeful when I picked up everyone and got the CRACK sound.

And it was like I never left it. The first time the ball went a certain path, I was like “Oh man, that feels like a lost ball right down between the flippers” and sure enough, it did exactly that. I was even estatic about this game when I lost the first ball!

General Stuff:

This game is not easy, but its not impossible. That’s what I like.

You gotta have a good run and be “in the zone” to pick up all the passengers.

I also like that the passenger who needs to be picked up calls out for you. So you’re not confused about “What should I be trying to do now?” like alot of pinball games.

You can get “2 balls at once” when you do a certain task.

2 balls at once is a mixed bag, because you can’t “line up” your shots like you can when you have one ball sometimes.

THANK YOU !!

(Note, I only played Taxi on it. I could play Taxi for hours straight. I guess one day I’ll get to the other ones.)

5 Stars Perfect for gift giving
I got this for my guy but now I’m playing it all the time. OMG, its just like the real thing but better! This is a must for all game lovers. So much better than I thought it was going to be.

5 Stars ABSOLUTELY amazing !!! You get more than what you pay for !!!
Being a 1980-1990’s pinball aficionado, I’ve played them all in the arcades. Quarter after quarter, replay after replay… I pride myself having spent many hours on pinball for mere dollars. I’ve spent a good deal of my college years making my entertainment value stretch.

However, the main thing lacking in home-versions of pinball games (either on computer platform or gaming consoles) is the “pinball wizard” feeling from merely pushing buttons and watching the balls bounce in uncontrollable patterns.

“Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection” is hands-down an exception to the disappointment I’m used to. Far superior to any pinball simulator I’ve EVER played, this adaptation is so close to the real thing, it’s incredible. The biggest drawback from many home-version pinball games is the upright “flippers-at-your-hands” feeling. Astoundingly, with Pinball HOF, I get the feeling that I’m at a real arcade as I “bump” the machines using my Wii remotes.

Equally unbelievable and impressive are the accurate depictions of the graphics and sounds from EACH machine. SVG Distribution did such a fantastic job recreating the Wii version that it’s hard to differentiate the software from the original machine. The older machines (i.e. Jive Time) have that classic relaxed pinball-saloon feel to them; however, the newer machines (i.e. Funhouse, Whirlwind, Taxi) give you the sensation of nudging the ball with your body movements. I don’t know if what I’m trying to say is clear, but to pinball enthusiasts, you’ll know what I mean by moving the ball “not with the flippers, but your body.”

If SVG were to release another Pinball Hall of Fame (Gottlieb? Stern?), I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, pinball is undergoing a demise in popularity these days. I don’t know why. A pinball wizard could be easily entertained for long periods of time dropping only a few coins. Hmmm… must be today’s economy that’s driving pinball production down.

Anyway, I can’t say enough good things about this game. It has been keeping me entertained to the point that I haven’t even played Super Mario Kart yet, a game that I bought the same day as Pinball HOF. That’s my $.02… which will only buy .08 gallons of gas.

5 Stars I Love DDR!
I saved up a my money to buy DDR Hottest party and boy was it a good thing to save up for. I have been a fan of DDR for about a 2 years now never owning one but playing it at the local YMCA. Now i have one of my very own, and have the best time. The best part about it is you get off your butt and burn some calories. I like switch between workout mode and grove circuit mode. I always turn the hand things off and gimmick off to make it a lot less confusing. For those of you who are complaining about the lack of Konami songs, play grove circuit mode to unlock them.

It was a realy good investment!

5 Stars Good starting point for DDR, better workout than Wii Fit.
DDR Hottest Party for Wii is my first DDR experience (mostly because the Wii is the first game console I’ve owned since Intellevision!). Now that I’ve really gotten into the game, and looked through other forums on DDR, it appears that DDR Hottest Party is a fairly “light” game compared to other DDR titles. I only have my experience with the Hottest Party for Wii to go by, though.

I only have a few things to say about this game –

1) You can easily turn all of the annoying features off; The “gimmicks” can be replaced by regular foot markers, the freeze steps (where you have to stay on a particular arrow for the indicated time) are turned into regular arrows, and most importantly the hand markers can be turned off. A lot of people recommend doing this when first starting out, because it simplifies things. However, bear in mind that when you turn the hand markers off, the game replaces them with foot markers. The end result is that the game becomes physically more challenging. This is a good thing to keep in mind if you’re going for a harder workout (the hand markers really don’t add to the exercise value of the game).

2) REPLAYABILITY. This game has only so many songs, but with all the different levels, challenges, and battles, it has a high level of replayability. I had gone through the venue mode all the way up to that demonic “Super Samurai” level, and pretty much gave up because it seemed impossible. Instead, I started using the workout mode, and worked my way up to AA’s on difficult on most of the songs. Then I read somewhere that you get more dancers if you beat Super Samurai, so I went back and tried it. After all my work on Difficult, I actually managed to beat the challenge, which then shut down all the venues, gave me two more dancers, and now I get to go through the Venue play again with higher challenges and more rewards. Unless you’re a DDR junkie and an old pro, this game can last you a LONG time.

3 – I also own a Wii Fit. I can tell you right now that if you’re looking for a game that will give you a hard workout and get your blood pumping, don’t waste your money on Wii Fit. Get DDR instead. Wii Fit is okay, but DDR is what gets my heart rate up, gets the sweat pouring, and it’s FUN.

4 – Don’t be put off by the songs (whether you know them or not). I am not a big fan of this kind of music, but in the context of this kind of game, it works. And hey, it also turned me on to the Scissor Sisters!

5 and Lastly – Okay, look. I am a morbidly obese 35 year old. If I can do this game, YOU CAN. Seriously, did I mention I’m at AA’s on most of the Difficult levels (with jumps) (including 99 Red Balloons)? And yes, it’s helping me lose some weight (probably about 20 pounds since February or so), but fitness is a whole-lifestyle thing. DDR (OR Wii Fit) is not the magic bullet. But it sure is fun!

4 Stars Fun game, but there are some flaws!
i bought this game as a way to excercise that would be fun and make me want to do it. i had debated which system i wanted to buy the ddr game for, and ended up choosing wii because of the song list on the box. (i played an older version of ddr and it was all songs i didnt know and i didnt like that!) i really do enjoy the songs that are on the game, but some are too slow and awkward to dance to. i also don’t like the handmarkers on the game. i can’t get them to work half the time so i always turn them off. the game judges WAY too hard…you can only miss one or two arrows to get an A which is annoying! also, there is no way to abort a song once it has started (if you accidentally switch your dance level you have to just let the song finish). i really like the workout mode which lets you customize which songs you would like played and it will continuously play them so you dont have to scroll and find them (it also allows you to set calorie goals!) i also like how it shows the beats per minute on the menu page so you can tell which songs are harder (generally it arranges them from easy to hard) overall i give it 4/5 stars because it is still fun even with the flaws.

4 Stars Great Fun for all!
This game is a blast! It challenges all levels of “dancers” and even has a setting that lets two people work together to achieve a higher score.
