Simply brilliant game, but give me a sequel without the silly carnival-style shooting sections please. Rare though they were they were out of place amongst the puzzley awesomeness.

Also, let me build a multiplayer playlist like flatout ultimate carnage, but save it for quick recall.

This (well, the first game) is one of the ace Wii games I mentioned yesterday when trying to think of examples of Wii games that are conveniently forgotten when people talk about there being nothing to play for it. This one's so recent and even I forgot D:

So was this suitable for a 5yr old. Looking for decent games for the kids but am dispirited by the sheer volume of shite on the wii.

I'd say probably not - well maybe some elements - depends on their hand eye coordination and throwing arm.

/gets hit on the head with ball.

/teeters.

/falls and asplodes.

/10 points.


@barchetta

To be honest a lot of the game will be out of scope for a 5yr old. There are some pretty taxing puzzles in the bombs/chemical blox sections.

Looking to pick up the original as still not played it but not prepared to spend over £20 range as it's basically just a puzzler isn't it?

Great game..shame about the art style (and awful cheap cut scenes).....if they want to sell more units they should slap their Harry Potter llicence on the sequel and give the impression you are controlling the blocks with a wand.

Shame the controls haven't been ripped off for other games...the aim and throw/pull mechanic could be used to great effect in multitude of genre's (shame the Star wars Wii games don't use it for force attacks etc).

great game but the art style was awful. a heartless, generic, corporate attempt to emulate nintendo cutesyness.

Is the original worth getting for Xmas party fun (age range 10 to 72)? I've already got M-Kart and SSBB lined up.

Yes, it is worth getting for groups of folk.

Pretty much the only game my family will play is Wii Bowling, but they got fairly into the Jenga-style levels in the multiplayer mode.

I managed to get Gold on the 4th July level last night as well, so it has the 'joy at achievement' factor :D

I'll take this art style over Nintendo stuff any day. This has actually got some style to it.

"Looking to pick up the original as still not played it but not prepared to spend over £20 range as it's basically just a puzzler isn't it?"


That's like saying "i'm not prepared to spend over 20 quid for cod5 - as it's basically just a shooter isn't it?"

(or insert any of the latest fps games in there)


... At least that's what my "common sense" is telling me.. In REALITY i havent bought it either as it's too pricey for a puzzler.

(which is MAD when you think about it!)
