I had high hopes for this game, and it definitely did not disappoint me. As a faithful Zelda fan there is a lot I expect to see in a Zelda game and all the key components were there. The wii controls added a whole new dimension to the game that made it a whole new experience that was absolutely amazing. While the graphics don't necessarily match up to anything you might see on the PS3 it most certainly the most beautiful Zelda game to date. As expected being able to use the wiimote to aim your bow and slash your sword is extremely fun and the game play is amazing I highly recommend this game.
They may look cute, but there's nothing nice about the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This fighting frenzy will have you inflicting painful KO's on familiar opponents you thought were your friends. Take your frustrations out on Link, Mario and other characters from throughout the gaming world. Shoot spaceships out of the sky in the Lylat System from the Star Fox games and deal out killer blows in Rumble Falls based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.Hit opponent after opponent to build up your damage meter, then knock your enemies clear off the screen. Rely on weapons that are silly but very effective, such as banana peels, pitfalls, gooey bombs and many more. Hurl old-school crates and barrels or select from Assist Trophies and Poke Balls to strike fear in the hearts of your foes. Combine Standard, Strong and Smash attacks to bash your way to victory. There are so many ways to smash, you'll get lost in the melees for hours on end.

I thought this was a great new Smash Brothers game, it definitely did justice to an amazing series. The new characters they chose to add were wonderful choices. My only complaint is that it doesn't use the wii controls at all, I had hoped that it would. I guess in the end the lack of wii controls is not really too much of a loss because most people prefer the gamecube controllers anyways. All in all however this is an amazing fighting game and great fun for you and all of your friends.

I'm sure that many people out the had as many misgivings as I did about this game. I was worried that the addition of Disney into a Square game would lead to something childish and immature. While this game isn't really as serious as many final fantasy games it still turned out to be an amazing game. The battle system is extremely fun and the Disney was tied in well in the game. Going through the Disney worlds ended up not being as corny as I expected it to be and was instead quite enjoyable. I highly recommend this game to any fan of Square, and to many who are not.

If you've played the first Raving Rabbids you already know that the fun amusing Rabbids are back. This game does not disappoint. The single player was completely removed in Raving Rabbids 2 but was not really missed, instead they focused on the multi player action which is the real reason anyone played the game in the first place. Unlike in the first one, the majority of the games can be played by four people simultaneously rather than switching off which greatly increases its multi player potential. My only real complaint about this games was the change in the style to the shooting gallery. In the first one it was fun and quirky, and reminded you of arcades. In this one the shooting games are a wierd mix of film and animation that really detracts from the overall effect. The games are longer but tend to simply be overwhelming amounts of Rabbids making it less of a game of skill aiming for a perfect score to shooting randomly at a cluster and hoping you hit a lot of them. Despite the fact that the shooting games are not as much fun it is more than compensated by the other mini games and I would highly recommend this game.

I thought this was an amazing game and perhaps the best use of the wii controls of all the games I've played to date. It was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it. It was hard to put down when playing it. Now the reason I gave it 4 star instead of 5, its disappointingly short especially for a Square Enix game. If it weren't for the fact that the game was so much fun for the short time I did play it, I would tell everyone to just rent it rather than buying because you can finish it that fast. There are a few extra bosses you can fight after the game is over but even with that I constantly felt like I wanted more levels and the bosses were just a consolation.
