Rayman Raving Rabbids 2

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

This time, the game it is a lot more simple than the first one. Much simpler games, simpler movements and without history mode. There are 5 different travels around the world, with 5 games in each one. The fifht game is the music one, wich is like the one on the previous version, but not as funny as it used to be.

The shooting games are not part of the main game. You can play them apart when you unlock them by playing on the travel mode. The shooting games are very realistic this time because they have been recorded in real scenariofinished with digital rabbids attacking you.

You can also create your custom travels, joining different games from the standard travels.

I finished the whole game in one day. I didn´t play all the games, because every travel consists on 5 gamos out of, maybe seven or eight, so if you want to play them all, you have to repeat every travel until randomly you play to all of the games.

Maybe for the multiplayer mode, this is a better game, but for the stand alone mode it is not as funny as the previous one was. I enjoyed a lot playing the first one, and I enjoyed a lot the dancing part, because you were able to dance and enjoy watching the rabbids dancing. In this one, you don’t have time to wath what is happening, or you can miss some of the movements.

The conclussion is: If you havent got the first Raving Rabbids and you want to play alone, go buy it before the second part, because you will enjoy it a lot. But if you want to play simple multiplayer games, give it a try to the second part.

Sonic and the Secret Rings

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

This is a good Wii game. You play it with the wiimote sideways and dependeing on the inclination to one side or another, Soinc will turn to the left or to the right. Sonic jumps whenever you press button “two” and if you make a fast movement forward, sonic will go forward or will attack if there are any lit aims on the screen. If you also roll the wii mote backwards, sonic would eventually go backwards (if you have got this ability acivated on your ability ring).

Basically, the game consists on Sonic running constantly and you having to go from left to right getting all the rings, jumping whenever you are required to, killing some bad creatures and avoiding obstacles. On your way you will find special objects like treasures, eggs, switches and you will also have to hit them to obtain something extra or continue your way.

The multiplayer minigames are very good for having fun on a party. I recomend this mini games for parties. They are lots of short games (60 seconds) very easy to understand and very easy to play for new wii players (this people that come to your home and see the wii for their first time) You can play up to four players with four wiimotes. Most of the games are all at once and some others by turns.

Carnival Games

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

This games is exactly as going to a fair with the typical games. They are interesting simple games and you wont have to pay tickets for playing everytime you want. Believe me, the sensation is the same as playing this games for real. Some are frustrating, some are quite easy and some others are difficult, but with practice you will become a winner.

The multiplayer mode can be a little bit boring, because you can participate simultaneously on some games but you will have to wait for your turn on most of them. This makes the gameplay a little bit slow but it can be interesting after all. This is the kind of games that you can enjoy in a party with friends. I would give it a 7 from 1 to 10 for the multiplayer mode.

During the single player mode, you will be unlocking objects for your character and up to three extra games on every alley (they are the same as the ones you play in the alley, but with a slight difference that makes them more difficult)

On every alley, you will find a “non competitive” machine, this is a machine that costs tickets, but you wont be able to score any points. They are for fortune telling, love telling, coin cascade, mumpet . They apply a little bit more of fun without competition.

You can give it a try renting it and if you like it, then you can buy it.

Table Tennis

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Brought by Rockstar Games, this Wii game is a Table Tennis simulator, quite easy to play because you can just predict movements and your character will hit the ball with the effects you prepared when it reaches your pad.

The first time I played this game, I selected a tournament (on easy mode, of course!) and I won without many problems. On the first game I got used to the controls and understood that I could predict movements (because at the beginning I was trying to hit the ball when it was on the exact possition to be hit, but it didn’t work) On the second game, I learnt about effects and practiced a bit with them.

Everytime you do something that could have been done better, a hint appears on the screen telling you how to enhance your gameplay, but sometimes you miss this hint because everytime you score, you can view the replay or skip it by hitting the “A” button and you also skip the hint with the “A” button too, so at the beginning, you watch sometimes the replays, but as you play forward, after scoring, you keep pressing the “A” button repeteadly to skip the replay as soon as possible to go for the next point.

You can play just with the wiimote (Standard mode - you wont control your character’s position) or with the wiimote and a nunchuck (”Control Freak” mode - you will be able to control your character or “Sharp Shooter” mode - You will control the “ball palcement” with the analog stick)

People who like Table Tennis will enjoy this game very much. It is full of possibilities. It is a more strategic game than a reflexes one.
