Lost Vikings 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a strategy game where you control three vikings, as well as other characters, who are lost in time. Each character has different abilities and you must use them together to get through underground maze-like levels. The learning curve is reasonable, so you'll be challenged without getting stuck on the first level. Gameplay is innovative, the characters are unique, and new elements being constantly introduced keep it from getting repetive. Buy this game! I guarentee you will become addicted to this game.

Mega Man X2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is, overall, better than the previous X installment. It has a good level of challenge, although once you get the hang of it, the game becomes pretty easy. The weapons, though somewhat dull and uncreative, are still pretty fun to mess around with. For example, changing the weather using your bubble splash, speed burner, strike chain, and crystal hunter in Wire Sponge's stage, and the priceless joy of making Crystal Snail chase his shell around by using the magnet mine on him. This game has awesome replay value, not necessarily cuz of all the secrets, but just because it's so much fun! The graphics are great, not like the first one where there wasn't really definition between colors. One of the best features of the game is the music. The tunes in X were cool, but the tunes in X2 are so cool I've died trying to finger drum along with the music (especially in Flame Stag's level). The only complaint I have about the game is the slow down. I personally think slow down looks pretty neat-o, but only when it's supposed to happen! It's NOT cool, for example, when you're trying to dodge junk being thrown at you by Morph Moth's cocoon form! Fortunately, that flaw is ruled out by the game's overall well roundedness. The gameplay, music, and number of hidden gizmos to find make this game a must have for long time fans and a best buy for people who are new to the series(too bad it's so expensive!).

Suikoden Tierkreis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I haven't finished the game yet, but so far it's reasonably enjoyable.However, I feel compelled to write this review now, on the basis of one single glaring flaw: the dialogue and voice acting are appallingly bad. In the world of computer gaming, there is voice acting that's so bad it's good (i.e. you listen to it just for the amusement value) and then there's voice acting that is so bad it's painful. This definitely falls into the latter category. The characters sound like they were voiced by a group of random Canadians (that's not a dig on Canada, most of the voice actors really do have obvious accents) who spent about 4 hours one afternoon in a conference room at their offices doing the recordings and called it a day. It is truly, truly awful. My initial reaction was to be impressed that they crammed as many voice samples as they did onto the cartridge. But after 10 hours all I want now is to find an option to delete the voice track entirely.It is that bad.I don't consider voice a must-have in a DS RPG by any stretch of the imagination, and in this case, the game would have been much better had they just left it out.

As for the gameplay, it's average JRPG stuff. You navigate from place to place on a world map and then run around in a 3rd-person view (fixed camera) within each location. Lots of random battles as you run around the individual locations, but the individual fights don't take very long and you usually only have to traverse maybe 3-4 screens to get where you're going, so it's tolerable.When you get to a town you are presented with a list of locations you can visit (which I actually like; sometimes it's a pain in these games to run around the towns trying to find every single NPC hidden in every nook and cranny that you might want or need to talk to).

The combat system is a bit disappointing -- it's very simple, even when you manually give commands to your characters.(Overall, the game is very easy so far -- I am playing on the "Normal" setting, and I generally just hit the auto-battle button and watch my characters wipe out the enemies in either the first or second round of combat.) You have a basic attack option based on the type of weapon you wield, and the individual characters quickly learn a magic option with different spells of the expected types (damage, status conditions, healing, etc.) Each character can have up to 4 spells ready although there are a larger number to choose from as you progress in the game.There are two "ranks" (front and back) and the characters in the front rank protect those in the back rank (although there are also reach weapons, ranged attacks like bows, and magic, which can hit across ranks). Your selection of equipment makes a huge difference in the amount of damage you deal -- equipment seems to be far more important than level. That's about the entirety of the tactical depth I've seen so far, which is a bit of a disappointment, but maybe it gets more interesting later.Seeing the fight play out in 3D is nice, but I would rather have more tactical options (such as moving around the battlefield).I haven't played any of the previous games in the series but the description on Amazon made it sound like it was more of a tactical RPG than it really seems to be.

Definitely the best thing about the game is the graphics -- they are excellent, and there is a lot of variety.The character portraits are done in anime style but each character has a 3D model and you can see it in some detail on the equipment screen, including the equipment/weapons you're currently using, which is cool.There are some animated cut-scenes which are fun to watch (usually too short, but nicely done). I am from the old school of RPGs so super-spiffy graphics aren't a must-have for me, but I definitely appreciate them when they deliver, and the graphics in this game do indeed deliver.

Apart from the battles, there is a "trade goods" system that lets you buy low and sell high among the various cities you visit; it's easy to make a massive amount of money this way, so you should always be able to afford to buy the best equipment. The quest rewards are also generous.Some of the quests take on a mission type structure where you have to pick your party (there are combat characters and support characters) and then play through a pitched battle. I'm hopeful that perhaps this mission system will evolve into something complicated and interesting as the game goes along, with multiple battle groups that each have to complete different objectives or something along those lines.Fingers crossed.

The story seems like it has the potential to be interesting (travelers between an infinity of worlds, the classic debate between free will versus pre-determination of each person's destiny) but I'm having a hard time getting past the poorly-written dialogue and the horrible, horrible voice acting. To be clear, I don't think the dialogue being bad is a localization issue -- there aren't a bunch of typos and nonsensical word choices as one would find in a bad translation -- it just seems like whoever wrote the English dialogue really needs to go back and take some creative writing classes.It doesn't help that the main character seems to have the IQ of a gnat and is apparently surprised by more or less everything no matter how blazingly obvious.Half his lines are some form of "Huh?!?" or "What!?!"

So far this game is a definite "meh" which is too bad as I had high hopes based on what I had seen of the previews. We'll see if I can tough out another 10 hours or not.The combat is easy enough that I don't expect to hit any speed bumps, which means I will likely finish the game just to see how it turns out.

Wii Nunchuk Cord Free Wireless Adaptor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As of this writing the only place that sells this is online or gamestop (which is where I went to purchase this).With that said, unto the review.

For this review I will mention a few games since those games were used to test this product.

Synopsis:
First of all, I have to say I am glad NYKO has finally addressed the biggest complaint about the nunchuck, that is being attached to the remote and not being wireless.This product converts your existing nunchuck into a cord free unit.It is very easy to configure as all you need to do is get your nunchuck, slide it into place then coil the cord around until you finally connect it to the backside of the unit (just remember that when you are coiling to start from the bottom as it will bulge out a bit and you do not want it to bulge out on the top as you will need that space when you are connecting the unit, you won't understand what I am saying until you actually have the unit so keep this in mind).The unit itself is not heavy and it feels lighter than the remote.The power switch is located in the back and you put the batteries (2 AAA included) on the bottom of the unit.

Setup:
Turning on the unit is done by simply plugging in the small plug-in attachment to your Wii remote, power on the Wii remote then pressing the power button on the cord free attachment and that's all there's to it.Powering off is done by simply turning the remote power off (the cord free unit will blink a few times and then it will shut off altogether).

Testing the unit:
For this portion of the review I have used the following games:

Super Mario Galaxy: Though this isn't the best game to fully test the unit I tested it out to find out how easy it was to play this game.I found it very easy to use since the unit does stand up and I was simply resting the unit on my lap while playing the game and it was very comfortable.

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles (With NYKO Perfect Shot): This was a big test since I wanted to know whether or not the plug-in fits the perfect shot.It fits the gun, though it's not a perfect fit when compared to how it fits the Wii remote but I can confidently say that the unit and gun fully works with the plug-in attached.I had a blast playing the game since I wasn't restricted with a cord attached to the gun.

Mario and Sonic Olympics: This was another huge test as this game involves a lot of games that requires shaking the nunchuck and I wanted to test how well the unit works with this game.First of all I have to say this is the best test for the unit since every time I play this game with the nunchuck, I usually have the cord hitting my chin and my hands, but with the cord finally gone this is no longer the case and I can enjoyevery game without having to get hit with the cord.This test was what made me decide to score this unit the following:

4.5 Stars

The reason why I deducted .5 star is the price.If the unit was $15 or under I would have no problem giving it 5 stars, but alas this isn't the case.If you do the math a regular nunchuck costs $20 and this unit is $20 bringing the total to $40.Also, NYKO will be releasing a separate Wireless Nunchuck called the Kama Wireless Nunchuck this May and will cost around $30 which is another reason I had to deduct from the final score (watch for my review for the Kama Wireless Nunchuck in May).In conclusion this unit is very good and I highly recommend it for anyone who is tired of the nunchuck cord.Battery life is estimated 60 hours on 2 AAA batteries.

One Piece: Unlimited Adventure Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been a one piece fan for few years now and still watch it when i can. I've bought all the American releases of the PS2/GC one piece games and lets just say none reached above a 6 for me, if even that high. So when i picked up a Wii besides the big games like Mario and Super Smash i was really looking forward to One Piece: Unlimited Adventure. And FINALLY I got what i wanted.

Story - 6 - The weakest part of the game. It's interesting enough to keep playing but just not enough to give it a great one. It's basically luffy and his crew head off to another adventure and get stuck on a Island which makes you remember memories of old times. This is interesting enough but nothing big happens but it's still worth finding out what happens to Luffy and his crew. Also just so US watchers know this game takes place after Enis Lobby so don't play unless your up to the current Japanese episodes.

Graphics - 9 - Some great graphics for the Wii. While things do look blocky at times the areas + Character models make this game look great. No more chibi looking characters, this is the real one piece look!

Gameplay - 8.5 - While it can get boring since each character only has about 7-8 attacks you have 8 characters to play with. This keeps the flow going and leveling up characters + Moves makes it even more fun. You also have over 40 characters to use in multiplayer!

Enjoyment - 9 - A long adventure with tons to do after beating the main story. Unlocking all the hidden bosses so you can use em in VS you'll have plenty to do. For 40 bucks your defiantly getting what your paying for.

Final Score - 8.5 - As a one piece fan it's a easy 8.5 and if your not it may only be a 7 or 7.5 but it's still a worthy game for my Wii collection. So go out and have fun one piece fans, i did.

NINTENDO NES GAME: A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been playing this game since I wore diapers (I'm serious). This is really fun and entertaining. I love it! The only down side is with muliple players. If you have a really good player and a bad one, you will most likely end up losing your soul to Freddy. The reason for that is that the two people need to be in the screen. No split screens in this game. For information on the game, it is roughly based on the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Another version, but completely different, was released for Commodor 64 & PC. Just to wrap this up, it is a great game even with poor graphics, (give the designers a break! they didn't have high-tech HD computers and fancy tools like today) so give it a chance and play. You won't regret.

Justice League: Chronicles Review

(More customer reviews)We got this game for my 5 yr old son for Christmas as he loves the television show!!He absolutely love the game and never tires of playing it!! It was definately worth the money and my sons friends all love playing it too.As a matter of fact I finally sat down to play the game and found my 5 yr old instructing me on how to do the special feature moves with the extra buttons.I also have teenage brothers and sisters and they were absolutely in love with the game too.I would say the game would normally be for a bit older than 5 yrs old though because my son is already very computer literate and can read completly, this is why he is able to handle it so easily. There are words on the screen they need to read or have read to them in order to do the games.

NES Advantage Joystick Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The NES advantage was great... All the cool kids had them. And unlike some of the awful accessories Nintendo would unleash on us kids like the Power Glove, the advantage was actually a good, solidly made peripheral. It brought home the feel of the arcade like never before, and for those willing to get used to it (or already were used to it, due to rigorous arcade playing), it offered a level of precision unmatched by a standard controller. There are plenty of games that are best played with a classic NES controller, but there were also a great many that made you glad to have the Advantage handy. It even had turbo switches, which back in the NES days were a necessity for some games. If you had an NES, you wanted an Advantage arcade stick!

Digimon World DS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Firstly, this isn't really a game called Digimon World 6.This game is Digimon Story, translated into Digimon World DS.Chronologically, in America, it would be Digimon World 5.

To start things off, this is a really fun game.The premise is that you are a human who is brought to the digital world to raise digital monsters, or digimon.Throughout the game you can raise your digimon from Baby to Mega levels, even degenerating to make them more powerful.Furthermore, there is a training area, called a digi farm, where you can put your digimon to grow while you are out battling.

The game is an RPG.You gain levels and stats increase, allowing you to digivolve once certain requirements are met.You can also equip swords, shields, and accessories.

Pluses -

You can own over 200 digimon, and choose to make your favorites as powerful as they can be.

If you are a fan of the show, it's great to see your favorite digimon show up in the wild, be it Gabumon, Angemon, or even Myotismon.

North America is introduced to Digimon Savers, the new series running in Japan.There are many character that appear in the game that are from the series.

Negatives -

The game can be a bit glitchy.Some things may not load right away, and I once experienced the top screen, which holds the digi farm, turn black.This was remedied by entering the digi farm and talking to one of my digimon.

Some of the evolutions of the digimon aren't the same as the television series.Angewomon doesn't evolve into Magnadramon, Impmon doesn't evolve through to Beelzemon...Matadormon doesn't become Grandracmon and so on.It's not a bad thing, just a tad dissappointing to the die hard fans such as I.

All in all, Digimon World DS is a great game.It follows the RPG genre very well, creating an enthralling world for players.One warning though, just because you may be a Pokemon lover doesn't mean you will like this game.The style and speed of gameplay in both games are very different.

You should purchase this game if you are a fan of the Digimon series, the RPG genre, or are just looking for a fun game to put 30 plus hours into.

F-Zero : Maximum Velocity Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The original F-Zero was released way back in 1991 as a SNES Launch title. It featured "Mode 7" which enabled games to pull of a 3D effect.
The game was followed up with a special "Sattelaview" version entitled "F-Zero 2". However, it only included one more class "Ace" and the tracks were not as good as any in the first version.
The latest F-Zero game was released on the Nintendo 64 a couple of years ago and followed the same princible - Fast cars going along space themed tracks. However this version included twists and hills in the tracks, as well as 30 cars on the track and many tracks.
Now Nintendo have released a portable version of F-Zero and it follows the SNES roots more than the Nintendo 64 game.
F-Zero Advance (which will be titles F-Zero : Maximum Velocity for the USA launch) is basically an upgraded version of the SNES title. The game however, features all new tracks, cars, classes and music. It only shares the same graphic style as the SNES version - which I'm sure many people are pleased with. This game is not just a "rehash" and overal it is very playable.
There are three initial Classes - Pawn, Knight & Bishop - with an additional Queen class which is uncovered later in the game. The game also has difficulty modes - Begginer, Standard and Expert - again a further difficulty "Master" can be unlocked later in the game.
The game starts of with four cars and you can uncover a further four by completly certain tasks in the game.
The game uses the GBA techology to full effect - the graphics are very sharp and smooth and once you have got used to the controls you will just be speeding though each track with ease.
The sound is also pretty good - all the music is brand new. However, I would have liked some of the classic SNES F-Zero music to be present, but really it doesnt matter much.
The control does take a little while to get used to. I did have problems with the L & R buttons at first, but after 20 or so minutes I had gotten used to it. Now I don't have any problems at all.
The only major dissapointment is the Multiplayer mode. You can play upto four players using one cartridge. However, you can only play one track (Silence) which is very simple and short. You can also only chose one model of car to play with.
If you have 4 copies of the game though you don't need to worry. You may play any track and as any car as you want!
Overal, I reccomend this to everyone as a must buy launch game. It really is great fun - and as the tracks are all brand new, you won't have already played this game in another form already.

Product Description:
If you like blazing-fast racing games (and have thumbs ofsteel), F-Zero: Maximum Velocity is one of the wildest rides yetfor a handheld system. Based on the famous Super NES game of yore, thefuturistic F-Zero asks you to pick from a starting lineup offour pilot hovercrafts that tear across flat but hazardous tracks. Yourgoal: compete for first place so you can advance to the next track anddifficulty level.
To have any success in F-Zero, great reflexes and a memory fortrack detail are absolute musts. While the controls are responsive, ingeneral the frictionless racing means that almost all cars have asuitably loose feel to them, and require skilled pilots to handlecorners. Be warned that gamers with adult-size thumbs may be in for avery painful experience due to the constant mashing of the GBA'sshoulder buttons. When you get bored of racing the computer, you cantake on up to four opponents via the link cable--and unlike multiplayerGame Boy games, only one cartridge is needed.
While F-Zero features many tracks and skill levels, beyond thesimplistic (yet challenging) racing, there isn't much depth.Fortunately, the silky smooth animation and detailed graphics shouldkeep fans of speedy arcade racers taxing their thumbs long afterthey've brought home the checkered flag. --Mark Brooks
Pros:

Ridiculously fast-paced arcade racing done right
Many tracks and hovercraft to choose from as you gain skill
Graphics give a good hint of the GBA's pixel-pushing power
Four-player racing is a blast

Cons:

Extremely painful to the thumbs of adult-size hands
Lack of depth may be a turnoff once novelty of speed wears off

DSi Screen Protective Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a Hori screen protector, branded under the Nintendo DSi name/packaging.Many consider Hori to be the best, I find it tied with Martin-Fields Overlay in the screen protector department category.

I bought a Nintendo branded third-party screen protector in their "clean and protect" kit, and it was AWFUL--very difficult to apply, and not as effective.Other third-party screen protectors have left a film/residue, that is why I say brand matters.My experience with the Hori/Nintendo co-branded product was smooth and easy and it's been quite effective on my DS Lite and DSi.

A good tip for the application process is to have a credit card or something similar handy, and press gently down and forward simultaneously as you peel it off, because if you don't "smooth it out" you will end up with air bubbles, or particles of dust which create visual imperfections.

The reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is, while this does provide excellent screen protection, the glare reduction advertised seems minimal.I use screen protectors on just about everything electronic and portable that I have (iPod, phone, DS, DSi, GBA, etc.) and I find the glare reduction noticeable, but relatively minor.The real reason, I think, to buy this is to avoid scratches and other blemishes, which this does fantastically.

I'm not sure if the "new" DSi screen is scratch-blemish resistant, but in my experience when it comes to portable electronic devices, just about everything will develop scratches and blemishes, under normal use, if not protected.The iPhone/iPod touch is the one exception I have found to this rule, other than that, I would say, if you want to keep it "like new" it's a relatively inexpensive investment.

Nintendo e-Reader - Card Reader for Game Boy Advance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Game Boy Advance is nothing if not, well, advanced.It's more powerful than a Super Nintendo Entertainment System and yet runs for hours on a pair of AA batteries.It plays all the original Game Boy (classic, Color, Pocket) titles, and its games are priced right for kids on tight allowances.Now, it provides something for the old-school gamer in all of us, along with new features and boundless possibilities.
The Nintendo e-Reader is the latest in an oddball line of scanning devices for kids.Earlier such devices generated virtual pets based on the UPC barcodes on various products; in fact, a particular brand of instant soup flew off store shelves in Japan after it was learned its barcode created an ultra-powerful character.However, the craze has never really caught on in the United States.That is, in my opinion, until the e-Reader.
The e-Reader is about the size of an N64 Transfer or Rumble Pak, and plugs directly into the cartridge port of the GB Advance.As the e-Reader also plugs into the GBA's Game Link port, a "replacement" port is provided on the e-Reader itself, so you can continue to use Link Cables and some (not all) GBA lighting products.
The key to the e-Reader system is its data cards, which are basically another family of trading cards, a la Magic The Gathering and Pokemon (more on this in a moment).Cards designed for use with the e-Reader are distinguised by rows of dots along their length.These dots are the basis of Dot Codes, a proprietary format that the e-Reader sees as digital data.By swiping a compatible card through the e-Reader, you are loading data into the Reader.
What kind of data, you ask?Depends on the cards.The e-Reader comes packaged with two 5-card booster packs.The first contains the complete Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) port of Donkey Kong Junior ... you read that right, an NES cartridge stored on five trading cards!Other NES games, similarly translated, are available from retailers now, with many more to come.
The second pack contains an assortment of other e-Reader cards, including three from the Pokemon Trading Card Game.These three cards are the first in a new line of Dot-Code-bearing Pokemon cards.Along with being used in the Pokemon card game, these cards hold (in their Dot Codes) extra data on the particular Pokemon (readable on the GBA screen), and even mini-games you can play.A fourth card includes a sample Nintendo Game-and-Watch game (old pre-GB handheld games).
However, it is the fifth card that really can open up doors in how you play games.This card contains bonus items that can be used with the Nintendo GameCube title "Animal Crossing."By connecting your e-Reader-equipped GBA to a GameCube via the appropriate Link Cable (with a compatible title, like "Animal Crossing"), you can upload new information to the GC game.Just imagine ... you could update the stats of your favorite football or baseball player simply by swiping his compatible trading card through the e-Reader!
How does the system work in practice?Actually pretty well.It takes about 60 seconds to completely load a game like DK Junior, for example.Unlike ATM or credit cards, an e-Reader card needs to be swiped slowly.Like credit cards, you need to treat them somewhat gently; any stray marks (such as writing something on the card) in the Dot Code area could mess up the data, rendering the card useless.Younger kids may need some assistance at first with swiping, but they'll get the hang of it quickly.The e-Reader has a small amount of internal memory, so if you load a game/program you like, you can keep it, at least until you want to swipe something else into it.
Also, some of the NES games aren't 100% perfect ... DK Junior's sequence of boards is wrong, and it seems to have gotten slightly squashed in order to fit onto the GBA screen, but neither of these detract seriously from the gameplay.In other words, it's as fun as I remember it.
It's too early to see how e-Reader will catch on.After all, Pokemon isn't as popular as it once was, and so far only Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast have any card support.But, as early adopters go, the e-Reader is a cheap investment whose potential uses are as unlimited as the imagination.

Product Description:
The e-Reader is an accessory for use with the Game Boy Advance that reads information from collectible trading cards and translates it on the GBA into standalone games or enhancements to some traditional games. The e-Reader connects into the GBA cartridge slot and can also connect to another GBA or even a GameCube. Players simply slide the paper cards, available for as low as $1.95, through the e-Reader much as you slide a credit card through a point-of-purchase machine at a grocery store. When you do this, the unit scans the codes imprinted on the card and stores the information in its 1-megabit flash ROM for as long as the power is on. Animal Crossing for the GameCube takes advantage of this technology, and many more uses are planned. This set includes the e-Reader unit and the e-Reader card for the NES version of Donkey Kong Jr.

Wii 2000 Points Card Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First things first: the Wii Points Card allows you to purchase classic video games from the NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, and Turbo Grafix 16 consoles and download them onto your Wii console.Nintendo has many great old games available already and is adding more regularly (generally about once a week).

Basic information:100 Wii Points roughly equals 1 dollar.You should never pay more for a Wii Points card because you can buy the points directly from Nintendo at a rate of 100 to the dollar.On the flip side if you can get these cards cheaper (and sometimes you can buy them at a bit of a discount) you get a great deal.

What's available:There are new games being released all the time.I have a wishlist a mile long for these games, but some of my favorites include Zelda, the original Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Donkey Kong Country, Golden Axe, Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World, and Mario 64.Again--almost every week there's something new.A current list is available on Nintendo's website.

Game Cost:The cost for classic games varies a little but is fairly uniform.NES games start at 500 points (at this time there is only one game that I'm aware of for the NES that costs more).Most Super NES, Genesis, and TG 16 games cost around 800 points, and N64 games run about 1000.Considering a nostalgia trip used to sometimes cost as much as the original game (the original Zelda used to run about $50, and that's if you had an old Nintendo to run it on) these games are a great deal.

Why buy the card?: I purchase most of my points directly from Nintendo without using these cards.So what purpose do they serve?Simple--they're great for gifts.I love that these come in 2000 point increments--it means my friends and family have a cheap gift idea for me and can give me something I'll really enjoy rather than trying to pick out a game for me themselves.And of course if you've got a gift card or discount for your favorite retailer you can pick them up cheaper.It's a great alternative to just buying the points on your Wii.

Overall this is a great way to get your hands on some classic games.You may prefer to buy them directly on the Wii (as I do), but keep this option in mind when special occasions roll around and people are asking what to get you!
