Topic: Rock 'N Roll Climber - Impressions

It's an alright game. Very meticulous. Very technical. But the visuals are bland, the music is non-existent aside from the end of the rock guitar rock piece at the end of the climb, and I would have liked to have seen a bit more diversity between the various walls. I do like the crickets though.

Agreed on visuals, music and variety. Right on. It's just the controls I don't agree with you on.

And shoot, my video got interrupted again during the upload... Grr.....

Well I don't think the controls are necessarily bad, they're just a bit tweaky. Might cause some people expecting a certain level of responsiveness a bit of frustration. My wife hates it. But she's not a very patient person. I'm most likely going to emphasize that it takes time and practice and a trip or two through the tutorial to gain a good hold on it. The climbing without the board is much easier.

Yes, but not nearly as gratifying.

True, it doesn't feel very authentic using only the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Not even close.

Not only that but this is a success on Nintendo's part - they're responsible for yet another game that makes you look silly and yet somehow draws onlookers to try the game for themselves!

Just as a matter of interest, I just created uploaded another vid of the game. Shows me using the Balance Board. Look how quickly I can clear the stage using the Balance Board. (I can still improve, too!)

(How do you implement YouTube links directly on here? It's not the same as other sites, it seems.)

What are you apologizing for? It was a comment on the way the character looks when he moves, not on the quality of your playing. Unless you were involved in the design of the game it's not a reflection on you...

That game looks painful! Yuk!

@Chicken_Brutus: The "sorry" wasn't apologetic. It was more of a sarcastic, "you're so hard to please".-type sorry.

Yeah, I realize you were intentionally being a jerk, I just didn't want to draw attention to it. The point still holds. It was a comment about the game and not your playing, so why so defensive?

Aren't you drawing attention to it just by bringing it up again? It was over and done with weeks ago! XD
Touche!

Yep, ya got me. An unnecessary, rude slap across the face a few weeks ago that I replied to with a smiley face and an explanation that I never meant to offend you in the first place. Jus' call me The Jerk.

I cry fowl.
