Nintendo Wii Reviews

Sega of America and Europe announced a worldwide partnership with High Voltage Software to publish and distribute the Wii-exclusive title, The Conduit, in March 2009. The first-person shooter garnered multiple awards at E3 2008, including Best Wii Game by GameTrailers and three awards from IGN: Best Shooting Game (Wii), Best Graphics Technology (Wii) and Best Overall Wii Game. The Conduit is a stunning, futuristic title powered by a new game engine technology that delivers remarkable visuals an

Call of Duty: World at War will “beat” Gears of War 2, Resistance 2 and Far Cry 2 as this Christmas’ most sought after shooting game, says developer Treyarch and publisher Activision. And while that is quite the arrogant statement, they really have gained the clout to say so, due to the fact that their last game, Call of Duty 4, is considered by many to be the best shooter of last year. And they certainly have the high sales figures to back up that statement, not to mention the critical acclai

4 Stars Wii Zapper
Excellent addition to my kids’ game. Fine product, stick with the Wii products as they work best.

4 Stars Great fun!
Product came well packaged. Game was fun. I would buy from this vendor again.

3 Stars Good
The Zapper is somewhat short in length, so I wish it were adjustable to allow the player to expand his/her arm distance. The one other downside I find with the Zapper is that it requires a very steady hand. Link’s Crossbow Training often requires the player to point at a target with precise aim, but it is made difficult because the line of sight between the Zapper and on-screen crosshairs has a slight delay and tends to drift outside of the desired focal point.

Despite the Zapper’s limitations, Link’s Crossbow Training is a thrill. Each stage provides a different type of play and all are fun to explore by using the Zapper for various functions like shifting character point of view.

I’m very pleased with this Wii package, mostly because of the entertainment value of the included game. Overall, I think it’s a good buy!

5 Stars Lots of Fun
This game and controller is way too much fun, and I’m over 40! Getting through the game on the first level (i.e.: medals) is not too difficult, although challenging enough to keep you entertained. The second and third levels are considerably more difficult. Levels are based on your ability to be accurate and fast, as well as see what is going on around you.

This is an excellent trainer, and has improved my skills for more demanding games, like Call of Duty, and I can even use the controller as a rifle if I choose.

Overall, I have no regrets, nor am I disappointed in this purchase.

5 Stars great deal
always thought, Why buy a piece of plastic but I had to take the chance and see why so many people do, in fact, now I realize Why, so much realistic experience, I recommend it 100%

3 Stars Wii Ghost Squad
It’s a fun game when you first start to play but with only three missions it starts to be the same thing over and over. Good shooter game, wii needs more of those but I think so far this is one of the better ones, wish it had more different types of levels

1 Star Crapola
One of the worst shooters. If you dont have Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicals, get that.

1 Star Way too short
This game is rally fun for untill you beat the three levels in the game! They have basicly the same three levels but change it to nighttime instead of day to pass as another level. I’m talking the same enemies in the same places, same mission. In Japan this game comes with the zapper so it is meant to be a quick short cheap game, but th en they sold it sepratly in the US as a full priced game. Unless you like to waste money, do not get this game.

5 Stars Simple shooting game – Loads of fun
Other reviews give this game negative comments but we love it. We’re not big gamers so we just wanted something simple to play that friends can play instantly when they come over. We tried the Looney Tunes shooting game, mistakenly assuming that would be simple but there were 2 remotes, 4 buttons, button combos, the joystick plus you could shake the remotes. It was too much. We just wanted something fun and easy. Ghost squad is that. All of our friends have also liked it (40ish women).

4 Stars Good replay.. Many alternate scenarios!
I really have enjoyed this game. Usually an on rails shooter like this does not have much replay, But Sega did a great job of giving you plenty of reasons to keep revisiting the missions. Branching missions, improve your rank and times etc. Which causes the game to change the scenarios each time you play through it. Cool little things. Example: one time you may go through a room that is lit normally but next time you’ll use smoke screen and have to used night vision to see through the smoke. Another time the enemies may mix it up and attack in different ways. Also you acquire many different types of weapons that will change the strategies you’ll need to use. I also like that you can get in and out of this game for a quick bit of play when you don’t have allot of time but ya need some action. It’s great game for 2 players. You can set the options individually for each player to compensate for a younger or inexperienced player. I found I prefer the Nyko Perfect Shot to the Nintendo Zapper with this game.. It’s just easier to aim with it. You can play with just the Wii Remote if you chose but it kinda diminishes the fun factor.

5 Stars will perfect shot gun
My son has a great time using this wii shot gun for his game.

The only drawback….the gun fell to the ground, about two feet (my fault!!! :0( ) and the orange safety thing fell off (still yet to be found :0/ ).

4 Stars The Perfect Shot
The product is awesome. It came fast to me, and it didn’t have any faults to it. My only complaint that no one can solve, except Tylenol, is that after awhile of playing with the perfect shot, it starts to hurt your wrist. Other than that, the Nintendo Perfect Shot is a good item to have for your Wii.

4 Stars Good product, lots of effort to shoot
The gun holds the controller well and uses the b button to shoot so it works only with games that shoot using the b button. If the game uses the A button to shoot (Resident Evil) you shouldn’t use this gun. My only complaint is the trigger is stiff enough where you really have to work to pull the trigger fast enough to kill the enemies. Good gun overall.

5 Stars Nice gun
I just received my Perfect Shot and I LOVE it. Time will tell about the durability, but this is great for House of the Dead. I found it to be comfortable to hold and easy to handle. I have seen no issues with the remote lifting when the trigger is pushed. If the orange strap breaks, as some reviewers state it has, I plan on just using a zip tie or rubber band. My friend and I switched of last night between this and the Zapper, guess what? I’m buying a second Perfect Shot today!

3 Stars Pretty Good Gun.
I’ve two of this perfect shot to play with my girlfriend. It’s a great gun for certain shooting game but not all. The only complain I’ve is the handle seems to be a little too big. You might feel some pain on your hand after long period of time playing with this gun. It’s no bid deal just need to take a break from time to time. I hope they made the handle a little more comfortable. Over all still good.

4 Stars Just Plain Fun
Luxor for the Wii is fun. End of review.

Well….okay, maybe a few more thoughts. I did own Luxor 1 & 2 for my Mac before I got this for the Wii, in fact, owning it for my computer is most likely the reason I bought it for my Wii. Computer games are cool enough but I just can’t get into playing games with my keyboard or mouse so the Wii version was much better as far as controlling game play goes. The game itself is much the same, shoot balls at other balls to make three in a row or more of them disappear. Good stuff.

The only small fault I could find was that the graphics seemed a little small on the screen although, due to the wireless nature of the Wii controls, I was playing it from across the room on my couch instead of 12 inches away like on the Mac version.

All in all, Luxor is lots of fun and through the “find new and used from $$” button on amazon, is easily purchased and shipped for less than $20.

3 Stars Too easy for those who have played Luxor on the PC
This version of Luxor is essentially the same as the computer version. Having played and loved the computer version, I decided to buy Luxor for the Wii. I had read that it was the same as the PC, but I purchased it anyway.

I had fun while playing this game, but the fun was short lived. I finished this game after just a week. I remember the PC version being very challenging and it taking me several weeks to finish. I must not have lost my Luxor skills because the Wii version seemed very easy.

I highly recommend this game for anyone who has not played the PC version. It is challenging for new players. This game requires fast reflexes and concentration. Therefore, it’s a great game to play when you want to get relax and forget the worries of the day.

The developers did a good job with porting this game to the Wii. I did not encounter any bugs and the controls worked flawlessly.

5 Stars Fun for the whole family
“Totally addictive” – true. I haven’t finished this game 2 times like I have on DS, but it is still a lot of fun. My whole house hold loves to get on and try to beat each others high scores. I’m glad that Luxor has finally branched out off the PC and came to a console that I can play without sitting at my computer.

3 Stars Luxor Wii
Luxor for the Wii is an alright game. I’m having a hard time getting super-enthused to play it, but at the same time I don’t hate it. If you’ve played Zuma on the PC before, then you basically know what you’re getting. That’s why for the price ($39, but on sale for $29), I’m not really sure it’s worth the money.

The gameplay is smooth and it’s easy to control the shooter. The endless mode is fairly good too, and it should keep you entertained for awhile.

One big drawback, though, is that it’s strictly a one-player game. I’m not sure how you would incorporate a second player, but it definitely would have been a worthwhile addition to the game.

Overall, Luxor is a one-trick pony, but it’s decently done. There’s not much depth to the game, especially given the lack of a second player. If you love Zuma, I’d say pick it up for the full price. Otherwise, I’d wait until it’s down to about 19.99, which would be a fair price for Luxor.

5 Stars IF YOU LIKE ZUMA!
if you like zuma and you are addicted to it like i am you will love luxor. great price! i’ll have to tell you amazon has the best prices. what keeps me coming back is the price and also the free shipping!

4 Stars Good Controller Great Game
The zapper is a little strange as the trigger is out front rather than in back where one would find it on a rifle. Once you get used to that oddity the zapper works great. The game that comes with it “Link’s Crossbow Training” is great. I loved this game the only problem is it was a bit short. The game developers really should make some more games utilizing this controller though. Once you’ve beaten the game there isn’t much else to do with the controller.

4 Stars Surprisingly I Had Fun w/This!
I bought this for a gift for my boyfriend’s son and was pleasantly surprised with the game that came with it. We all tried it out and I became pretty competitive (But of course was no match for my police officer boyfriend who blew us all out of the water with his skills!!) Nonetheless, I actually had fun with this and am contemplating getting one for my Wii system! I will say that my controller seemed to have the battery life sucked out of it a lot quicker though…which didn’t make that much sense to me, but that’s the only thing I noticed. For $20, this really offers a lot!!

5 Stars The game was worth it!
I bought the Zapper because I liked the way it looked and wanted to have something to shoot with. But the game that comes with it was worth twice the price. A WII game for $20? The game is one of my favorites.

5 Stars A Much for the WII
I receive this from amazon and tried it right away. It is a blast. If you love duck hunt like I did with the first nintendo. Then you will love this. I even had to take the gun away from my mom she love it so much. This will be another fun game to play with family and friend.

4 Stars Good, for something to do.
I mean, come on! Nintendo has tons of new products for the Wii everyday, and for something to do, I would say pick up the Wii Zapper. The Zapper is fun, and Link’s Crossbow Training is also the same. It will at least give you something to do for just 20 minutes.
