Wii Music

Oh yea Music....now in a Wii!

Name: Wii Music

System: Nintendo Wii

U.S. Release Date: October 20, 2008

Ok, I got Wii Music for Christmas, i thought it would be really awesome, but it wasn't that great as i suspected. I mean it can be fun, just not as fun as i thought.

I mean i saw the commercial

And it looked pretty good. There's just not that much to the game. It really gets pretty boring, and not that fun.Ok you play as any of your Mii's, and well play music of course. Oh and man there's TONS of different songs(52) and instruments(66). You may not start out with much, but you unlock more the longer you play. Now some of them are funny (Dog suit, cat suit, toy piano, Turntablism, NES horn, etc.) and i'm not lying about those lol. They have like every instrument ever made! The first problem is that some of them are pretty hard to control, like let's say you playing the piano in it, you can move your hands to play the note, but you can't move your hands accross the piano key board. They do have notes for you to follow, by pressing the - button and it'll show. There's also 4 little note things(i don't have an image of it) but it's at the bottom right, and there kind of pointless, i would explain more but they make Noooo since what so ever. The second problem is that there's no intro or title??? That makes it look dull. You can also make a video, the ones that the game already had in were awesome, but when you make one it isn't that good, not including you playing the instrument lol. Like the camera doesn't go where you want and all. They have "Lessons" for if you suck that you can practice. But the instuctor in the game is really agervating! Like he talks for 5 hours, and you can't skip through it fast enough, takes forever to skip him talking, plus he sounds kind of like an adult in Charlie Brown, but not as Whaa Whaaish lol. They have minigames, only 3(or 4) as of now, i don't know if there's more.

Minigames

Mii Maestro- Uses the Wii Remote to conduct an orchestra. The player swings the Wii Remote up and down to a certain tempo. Moving the Wii Remote quickly with no real rhythm will make the Mii orchestra play frantically, while slow, more graceful movements will create dragging notes and softer, longer tones. At the end of any song, a round of applause sounds and a numerical score is displayed. It's ok but a little annoying/hard.

Handbell Harmony- Kind of like Guitar Hero, but on the side. There's 8 colored notes on the screen(you only play 2 while the computers play the other ones) and just match them when they pass through and ehh i think i got you when i said Guitar Hero. It's the second best minigame yo.

Pitch Perfect- There's always a different amount of Mii's, and they all sound different, some they play the sound on speakers, and you have to find which Mii the sound matches too, others plays a song and you have to match them in the right order, and there's different levels, and you unlock something if you beat a level too. This game is the funniest/best in my opinion.

They also have another game "Drums" but you can't play it unless you have the "Wii balance board" and since i don't have one i can't talk about it. Sorry, i am getting Wii Fit soon along with the balance board so when i get it i'll talk about it more, ok?

Now the main thing is "Jam mode", you can ether "Quick Jam," it just picks a random song for you to play, "Custom Jam," has 6 people playing, and you choose what musician or instrument you want to play with, and "Improv," you play instruments without backing, (whatever that means).

That's really all to say about it. Let's now do the best part of a review, RATE IT :D

Mario Kart Wii

The 6th Mario Kart Game, yay!

Name: Mario Kart Wii

System: Nintendo Wii

U.S. Release Date: April 27, 2008

Ok Mario Kart Wii is an awesome game, the wheel makes it easier to play, and it is just plain fun. Now you've played the other 5 before; Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Mario Kart: Super Circut, and Mario Kart DS. So this one is no different. It has new players, idems, tracks. Sometimes it can be hard to unlock a character, but hey their cool enough. The best part of the whole game is that they introduce a new way to ride, BIKES!!!!! The bikes are better, a little better to control, can do tricks, and look cool, plus they turn just so awesomely. Another thing I like is how they extended the racers from 8 to 12, so you can be in 12th place, yaaay. There is some bad stuff about the game, and you know me, I usually always talk about the bad things more lol.

Bad Things

1) Their is no option menu, like lets say you want all the tracks to be 50 laps instead of 3, or you don't want any music or sound. Their is an option menu, but it is just for editing your profile data. -_-'

2) Their is not a good intro! Ok you've seen the other ones before, the intro's were fun to watch well this one......just shows a 30 second thing with Mario and Luigi driving and bumping into each other......* Yarns*.

3) Like i said earlier, some characters are hard to get.

Like here's some that look a little tough to get:

Mii (Outfit B) - Unlock 32 Expert Staff Ghost Data in Time Trials

Mii (Outfit C) - Get 15,000 points in VS mode

Rosalina- Obtain at least 1 Star Rank for all Mirror Grand Prix Cup

Bowser Jr- Obtain at least 1 Star Rank for all 100cc Retro Grand Prix Cups

Baby Daisy- Obtain at least 1 Star Rank for all 50cc Wii Grand Prix Cups

Funky Kong- Unlock 4 Expert Staff Ghost Data in Time Trials

Baby Luigi- Unlock 8 Expert Staff Ghost Data in Time Trials

Dry Bowser- Obtain at least 1 Star Rank for all 150cc Wii Grand Prix Cups

Yeesh, the other Mario Kart games wasn't this hard to unlock characters, ether that or i'm a noob.

4) Let's see, hummm. Battle mode, doesn't suck, but whenever you wanna battle, instead of letting you choose from 2-4 players, they do every player in the game. Plus you don't get to pick which characters you want on your team, better yet choose what color you want, red or blue.

5) After playing it for a while the whole game starts to get boring, and you just stop playing it. But that doesn't mean the game isn't fun.

That's all of can say of it for now. The game is both ok and unok(Yes i know, that's not a real word).

Let's just rate it already.

Gameplay- 9

Graphics- 9.5

Music- 8.5

Animations- 8

Overall- 9/10

Rock Band

Well I'm pretty sure most of you know this is a good game.

Name: Rock Band

Systems: Wii, PS2, PS3, XBox 360

U.S. Release Date: November 20, 2007

For one thing it is easier than Guitar Hero, don't get me wrong their both great games but still.

Guitar- Pretty easy. Much different than a Guitar Hero Guitar. The strumming bar kind of makes your hands tired easily but the fret buttons are closer together and easier to press. I also hate the solo's(hard sometimes >:( ) So the guitar is awesome.

Microphone- Ok singing is so simple. The words show on the top of the screen but you don't even have to say the exact words. You just have to get the right tone height and can just say random things in the mic. So mic is nice, not gay

Drums- Cool but somtimes ignoring. Ok it's just 4 keys to press including the drum pedal, but the drum pedal usually breaks alot(mine never broke) but they are the most common malfunction with the whole game. The drums are agravating sometimes cause it doesn't respond when you hit the key which messes you up. Plus there not really like real drums. So the drums....ehh the're ok.

The songs are awesome, gameplay is fun, animation is fantastic, just koolieo. :D

I know most of you know about this game already and i didn't know how to go into further detail.

So yea i guess that's all to talk about

Thankz!!!!!????????!?!?!?!?!??!?!?1???/!?!?!??
