That I've done my best to avoid full lag, but still show some. I will do a few fights though for the cam to show it at its worst
Its just for the review, I wanted to show some footage, lol. I mean it's not as bad as I'm probably making out, but if you look at SFII Turbo and then this. You'll notice it.
Because I hadn't played a beat 'em up for a few days and straight away I noticed it.
It happened, I turned to my bro whom done likewise, then I made a coffee and started learning Oh Canada while I was waiting for it to start the action again XD
Jon, don't you realise that almost all of the 56, 5 star & 78, 4 star titles suck?
They're not 1st party Ninty game so they automatically suck. The VC is terrible and our releases have been awful for months. We haven't recieved a good(=Ninty) game in months. I'm going to sell my Wii. Or just stop checking the VC weekly and go for one big dissapointment a month rather than 4-5.
XD
Bananiac, the VC version really lags. I've done a video review, but tried my best not to do the moves that make it lag as bad, and even then it's still noticeable in my vid. I think I'm going to record a few fights to truly show it off at its worst.
Yeah, I agree. Because then DYC could be the feature Wii friendly flash game. Why pay 500 points when you can play it for free? However I'm in the camp of, why play it at all? lol
What next? A game where you play as the head of a major games company and you don't have a button for "no" or special powers. Like that really fictional super power called quality control.
IMO it's a good review that tells me everything I'd want to know. After reading it I know it's not something I'd buy, and the only reason I have it, is that it was a gift. After playing it, I personally think a 7 is probably being a lil generous, but not by much at all, and 1,000 is too pricey for what you're getting.
Make this 700 and PoP 500 and I'd have been happier. Although Toki Tori I'd have payed a 1,000 easily. FFCCMLAAK is priced appropriately IMO, but some of the content is a bit dodgy. 200 points for 2 constumes, which have to be activated EVERY time you switch the game on, is a lil bit of a joke.
Anywho, now I'm going off topic again, so I'll leave by saying, once again, good review, I look forward to your next
Really wish I'd posted what I wanted to yesterday. Because of all the exclusive interviews I was going to post how impressed I was and then say "Who's next, Hudson Soft?".
ESP!
Liking what I'm reading though, however worried that not once did I see the words "Classic Controller" Wii Remote has killed many a game, don't let it claim these!
Well, I'm done (Actually I've still got the news to write up, but there's not much). Totally agree with the review, IMO it's one of your best Drake and IMO this is the best WW game out. Although FFCCMLAAK is VERY addictive, lol.
My review looks crap after reading this, but I'm always worried that if I say the music's great that someone will leap at me, so I try to cater to both by saying "It's basic but it's still very good". And the same goes for graphics, because I can't stand getting barraged from graphic Fanboys.
However when it comes to the pointer and the post card, I left it out because the 2p feels like filler to me and the post card thing is a great surprise
As I've just had to condense this for a Pod Cast, I can now say that I fail to see why this is a bad review. I thought it was a very good review and you mentioned everything that was important (Demo sending, 4 player co-op for Germ, the gameplay and how it works, the new modes and old ones, all of the extra options etc...). It was a bit long for my liking, but still, you done a good job
Personally though I find the game pretty dull and boring and I never seem to play more than 1 game at a time. I've never been a Dr. M fan, but this is better than I expected. I would like to say though, how I have the game and didn't know that it had 4p co-op, as in the game menu's, it's not advertised ANYWEHRE! The only way to find out is in the operations guide which requires you to connect to the net and therefore exit your game in order to read them.
I'm LMAO though at the comments comparing reviews. Because last time I checked, my man Drake reviewed Toki, not Sammy. So of course they're going to be different, as all reviews are, are peoples opinions. So one reviewer will be A LOT different compared to another. Including how he/she rates games, what they rate them on and why. And that goes doubly for sites. Comparing the VCR to the WWW is hilarious. That's like comparing Wii controls to SIXAXIS or Blu Ray to Beta Max. Or Gorgonzola to Mozzarella.
Man, it gets worse, the comments stating how old games shouldn't have been rated as high as new ones because they don't have online play.
LMAO XD
I'm gonna have to leave before I bust a gut. Because I've still got Toki to condense, I really hope that the review is identacle to this one, oh wait, they're by different people so of course they're not going to be LMAO XD
Ah, I was about to say typical, the review finally goes up AFTER I review SSR for the Cast, but now that I've seen the score, I don't think I'll complain, lol.
No idea if I'm still 1st in the U.K with over 800,000 in the 2 min mode. Haven't played it in a while, to busy writing these reviews up for a Pod cast, lol.
Well now thta the game's launched here, all I'll say is WOW! And the content only costs 1,600 points. Because...
Triple Race Pack - 800 Points - 2 Blocks Requires
That points up
Lilty Hut - 300 Points - 1 Block Required
Selkie Den - 300 Points - 1 Block Required
Yuke Shack - 300 Points - 1 Block Required
Is the same as those points up
The reason they've seperated them, is for folks who only want or can afford 1 race. You don't need to buy those 4, as it doesn't let you. So the game costs 3,100 points overall, 3,200 if you buy them seperately. Which is why I now own the game, as I had 3,100 points left
Also Dazza, I plugged this place on them. Decided that I coudln't get away with it on VC vids, because WWW has nothing to do with VC, but I can plug you on WW vids
Well then Dazza, I obviously misread the article. I thought this was what we were getting. Looking again, we're getting Toki. So I'm chuffed at that, because it looks mint
After reading the review I think I'll get it, if my mates are willing to play it that is.
Because the single player sounds too basic for me to part with 700 of my points. But with multiplayer open to me, I would. So if I'm forced to play alone, I think 700 is too pricey for me by 2-300.
Although I'm going to have to get Star Soldier. People are bagdering the hell out of me about covering the launch. And from what we're getting, I really don't want to lol.
I hope we get PPL to at least make me feel better.
And to be fair, I'm gonna go bone up on SSR and Critters, and try and get me wanting them.
My point was that Corbie done bone the FFCCMLAAK and SP reviews and reading them, it sounds like he thinks SP is a much better game.
As for the complaints about no DoRe or Gaiden or Earthbound or SMRPG. I reckon we'll get the lot in the next Hanabi, which if they want to do a 6 month thing, then it'll be November. If not, itn might just be September again.
Corbie, it's $10 to you, it's $15 to us. Although I don't doubt that it's better than most Wii titles. Yup, Drake told me that SSR wasn't complete, which is why I'm no longer getting it. It brings my list of wanted WW titles down to about 7. 5 I will pay almost anything for, 2 will have to be 500 points.
Yeah, the 2p does sound naff, but I'd still be happier if I mentioned it in the Pod Cast
As for a discount, it took XBL:A ages to do that. And when the PSN's done it, it's usually been that they put it up for cheap then increased the price. So I doubt we'll see it drop, unfortunately
And I'm the same as Knuckles, length only plays one part for me. But this just doesn't look like the type of thing I'd enjoy.
Possibly the 3 biggest things I look for is fun, challenge, and length.
BTW, great Parodier review, totally agree and I've only played it for 20 mins. I love the game

Re: Dr Mario WiiWare pulling a sickie?
@Kevin.
Read my above comment.
Re: Pop
Ouch, just read the IGN review of this, they don't like it. But then again, IGN rarely like quality games anymore. So I'll still buy this I think.
But Nnooo, have you guys signed up to every site that's reviewed PoP? I spotted you on IGN too
I'd love to see more devs do that.
Re: Pop
After reading the review I think I'll get it, if my mates are willing to play it that is.

Re: Dr Mario WiiWare pulling a sickie?
@Atlantis1982.
Probably because SMK OWNS MKW and SSB is great enough to own. Also I prefer SSB's combat to SSBB.
Oh, and MK 64 is awful when compared to SMK.
Re: Toki Tori - Gameplay Trailer
One of the few WW titles I've wanted since it's announcement. Gutted that we're not getting it on the 20th.

Re: Review: LostWinds

Re: Square-Enix Changes Its Mind About The Virtual Console?
So in other words "If we release them all seperately on the Wii, idiots will buy them for £30. Whereas we'd only get 800 points for it on the VC".
Re: Review: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King
AMP, if the game has multiple save files, then it should count for all files.
Re: Review: LostWinds
Corbie, it's $10 to you, it's $15 to us. Although I don't doubt that it's better than most Wii titles. Yup, Drake told me that SSR wasn't complete, which is why I'm no longer getting it.
