Warning: This game is not for you if you can’t stand blood or the thought of cutting anybody open.  You have been warned.

Trauma Center: New Blood is your gateway to a simplified surgery multiplayer game.  In the future there will be many medical break through.  You’ll be playing doctors that will have an important part in future events.

If you can’t do operations by yourself, either practice, or…call for the help of a friend to help you.  In this multiplayer wii game you can get your friends to help you in every operation.  They have all the tools you have.

Even with friends to help you the game switches things up by adding difficulty settings from easy to hard mode.  How’s that for a 2-player Co-Op game?

Ouch! You have to fix bones too.

Trauma Center: New Blood Gameplay

If you know what surgery is, you’ll pretty much understand this game.  Every operation you’ll have two playable doctors (Dr. Markus Vaughn and Valerie

You also have to do operations outside of the person!

Blaylock).

Your goal for each operation varies, but you have one goal: save the patient, and get as much points as possible.  You lose either by running out of time or for the lack of better words: die.

There are 8 tools you can use.  The tools are:

• Antibiotic Gel: This is the miracle gel in the future that could heal minor wounds and sterilize things.
• Syringe: By injecting fluid into the person you can regain their vitals.  The higher the difficulty the less this heals, but it’s still a great life saver.
• Suture: This is used to close wounds on the person to prevent them from bleeding even more, damaging their vitals.
• Drain: Like the name suggest, this tool drains the blood, and any other liquid substance.
• Laser: This is used to ZAP stuff that you ordinarily can’t do anything about.
• Ultra Sound: This allows you to move around the patient’s body.  You use this to find hidden problems in the patient’s body.
• Scalpel: This is the fancy name given to a small, but sharp knife used for medical purposes.  You use this to cut into the patient’s body, cut things off, and other things.
• Forceps: Forceps are pinchers.  This tool is how you move things around in the patient’s body.

Trauma Center: New Blood Multiplayer

There is wi-fi in this game, but it just a ranking system that let us share our scores on each operation online.  Bragging rights at least!

What this multiplayer simulation game does have is 2-player Co-Op.  You can play Co-Op in every operation in this wii game.

2 player Co-Op mode

This game is: the only if not few surgery game that has Co-Op that feels and plays like a true Co-Op game.  You and your friend can each do your own thing, or you can come up with a plan

Conclusion

Trauma Center: New Blood is a must play game.  It doesn’t matter if you want to be a surgeon or not, because the plot and gameplay will drag you in (as long as you don’t get stuck somewhere).

if you’re interested, I recommend you to buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Animal Crossing: City Folk bring the animals back into the village in this multiplayer wii game.  This time you won’t be limited just to your village you’ll also be going to the big city (even though the city is smaller then your town).

While you can build relationships with the villagers (sorry you can’t date them) you can also destroy them by making fun of them.  Sending hate mails however won’t work, trust me I tried.

The game has multiple potential of what to do, as you can tell from reading below.  Let’s just say there are multiple things for you to do everyday.

Animal Crossing: City Folks Gameplay

Animal Crossing: City Folk is a real life simulation wii game.  You have just left your family to start out a life on your own.  That’s about how far the story of the game lasts.

After answering a couple of questions that determines what your character looks like, your name, and the name of your town, you’ll arrive in town.  Here you meet a colorful cast of randomly created characters that can come and leave from your village.

You’ll be forced to do a bit of manual labor to get to know the game, but after that you’re free to do whatever you want and whenever you want.

You can:

• Catch fish and insects
• Dig up fossils
• Donate bugs, fish, fossils, and painting to the museum
• Decorate your house with the furniture
• Play the Stalk Market (I’m serious on stalk)
• Chat with neighbors
• Design your own clothing and then once it catches on force people to talk to each other and make them change clothes to make a cult.  RAINBOW FOREVER!!!!
• Cut down trees trying to get bees for revenge on popping a balloon
• And the list goes on.  It’s life away from life!

Meet characters like Nat during special events.

Oh yeah! Beat the previous record by 1 point!

The only thing that actually keeps the game going though is your debt.  You’ll be dealing with Tom Nook here.  Tom Nook builds your houses, and when you pay it off the greedy raccoon will force you to upgrade it.

There are special events that are scattered across the year in the game: a walrus that eats everything, a naked dog that plays a guitar, the lists goes on.

The City

The game is called: Animal Crossing: City Folk.  At one point I didn’t get why it was called that.  There was no city.  Well 3 months later I found out there was a city, and how to get there.

To get to the city you just go to the place just outside of the gate to invite your friends via Friend Codes, and click on the bus stop sign.  This will take you to the city.

In the city you’ll meet all sorts of different animals, maybe even some that you previously had met in older games.  There are many more things to do in the city:

• A lousy comedian – He’s so bad sometimes he’s funny.
• A shoe shiner – He changes your shoe color
• A barber – They give you a new haircut.
• An overpriced store – They sell extremely over-priced clothes and furniture.
• A shady, overpriced store that everybody knows about – Crazy Red is back, and he’s easier to reach then ever.
• A fortuneteller – Katrina is also back, and she’s also easier to reach.
• HRA Academy – Guess who runs it?  Lyman the guy who hates his job and life.
• A Auction – Here you can put items up for auction with your friends and anybody else with WiiConnect24

Animal Crossing: City Folks Multiplayer

There really isn’t a local multiplayer mode for Animal Crossing: City Folks.  You have Nintendo WFC.

If you want to go to other peoples town you have to go to the gates, but first you have to register your friend code with each other.

Offline

I don’t know if you consider this multiplayer, but you can make a total of 4 people in your village, however you can only play one person at a time.

Nintendo WFC

This is the good part, here you can go online and visit other people’s towns, or you can invite people over to your town.  Remember you need your friend’s Friend Code and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

When you invite people over you can do anything you normally can do except do it with a friend.  You can play hide-and-seek, tag, fishing, bug catching, etc.  The skies the possibility,

Conclusion

Even though I have talked about a lot of things you can do there are still many people and things you can meet.  Another example is when you reset the game.  You do not ever want to do that, trust me.

This little mole comes out whenever you quit, reset, or any other excuse that you have on not saving

Anyways there are special characters that come out on specific holidays, and even a talking snowman.

Animal Crossing: Wild Folk have a great amount of things for you to do and get bored of for an hour, and then be back 30 minutes later.

if you’re interested, I recommend you to buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

When I first played this, I saw a little more then little 3D figures that would run around to try and kill everything with fists and books.  I saw bones…as weapons!

So yeah, a lot of violence in this multiplayer wii game, just like in the TV show, but not everything is solved by violence! Sometimes you’ll do something else, like killing some monsters. Wait…I take it back violence is the answer to everything in this game.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy is kind of similar to Power Stone.  It’s similar, because the fighting style seems pretty much the same, the way you grab and use weapons are similar, and after time you move through stages (every level has 3 parts to it as you play through it).

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Gameplay

The game is simply mashing the “B” button to punch enemy while shaking your wiimote to do a harder hit.  Pressing the “C” button allows your character to grab weapons. The “A” button makes you jump. The usual fighting game controls.

When you reduce someone’s lives to 0 and they’re out of hp, hit them once and then you enter a mini-game.  Point at the skulls with the wiimote to finish them off!

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy Multiplayer

The multiplayer for this wii game is a button smashing with 4-players, or a total of 3 CPUs. No Nintendo WFC in this game. But what you DO get is a whole lot of multiplayer modes. They are:

Last One Standing

With 4 people and a set amount of lives what should you do?  Throw each others off of cliffs?  Punch them straight into cerberous’ mouth, or maybe just give them the good’o one two?  Doesn’t matter kill all that oppose you!

Coin Battles

You beat up everyone for their coins. The time is changeable, the same as every other timed modes.  The team with the most coins win.

Capture the Flag

In this mode you have to attack flag post.  The flag with your team color will rise on the pole, and at the end, the team with the most flags win.

Crush the Horde

Kill a lot of enemies, the amount is changeable. Whoever reaches the goal amount first wins (the amount killed is shared among your teamates).

Break Stuff

You break hundreds of dummies that respawn everywhere on the map you choose. The team who breaks the most wins.

King Reaper

Kill your enemy as fast as you can.  Everytime you (or your team) dies you lose a point and your killer gets a point.  At the end the person who killed the most (or stole your kills J) wins.

Conclusion

This game is an extremely fast and furious fist fighting game. You can punch, kick and throw people out of the arena in 6 different modes.   I would like to think this is similar to the Power Stone games if you have ever played it before.

My personal opinion is that this game is like a 3-D attempt at Super Smash Brother Brawl, my personal favorite multiplayer fighting game.

I would recommend you to try renting this game at Gamefly Starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

I’m going to start out by saying Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is an awesome multiplayer fighting game.

In dragon ball all the characters can fly and they all have awesome moves that can blow up the Earth if they wanted to.  Put that all into a game and you have this!

Combined with all that there is the Dragon Net Battle, this is basically Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.  You’ll be going online to pummel friends and soon-to-be-friends online!

Also you can play through the Dragonball Z history all the way from Dragonball to Dragonball GT!  Did I mention all the important characters are playable? Some have more then one forms :0

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Gameplay

Power level over the charts! The world is doomed!

Playing this multiplayer wii game is easy.  There are numerous combos you can do (some I haven’t even tried), but I’ll just go for the basics.

After choosing your characters out of hundreds (some may even have more then one form) you choose the map to play in.  They all vary from a destroyed Earth to even land being held up by a small poll.

You fight in this game by punching with A, while punching you can press B to use a strong finisher to knock them away.  There are many combos you can do with these.

Pressing B your character will shoot energy beams. Holding it will charge a big ball of energy, or, for some characters, two!

By pressing the D-Pad, you charge up your ki. If you have enough, you can perform super moves that usually involve giant energy beams.

The world...after the giant nuclear explosion

By pressing up on the D-Pad and swinging the wiimote you can use blast 1 moves skills that makes your character stronger.

By pressing left or right on the D-Pad you can use blast 2 moves which are super attacks that can do a lot of damage.

Once you charge your ki to the max (blue bar) you hold down on the D-Pad to use your ultimate move.

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Multiplayer

This wii games allows you to go on Nintendo WFC and cause some real damage to the morale of the people around you.

In this multiplayer wii game you can play both locally with people around you in duel or tournament or go onto Nintendo WFC, just remember to get your friend codes.

Super Saiyans like Goku and Vegeta has multiple forms.

Dragon Net Battle

This is Nintendo WFC.  Once you get online is this multiplayer wii game you have several choices you can fight 1 vs. 1 with random people with, without custom characters, or ranking mode where you get points whether you win or lose.

The other option is to go and play with one of your friends that has the game or even friends you met online.

Duel Mode

Here you can choose 3 modes to play with a friend or a CPU.  1 character vs. 1 character, 5 characters vs. 5 characters, or destruction mode.

In destruction mode each character is graded by destruction points.  You get to choose a limit and you can’t break it.  This is the perfect way for you to have a fair balance fight with your friends.

Tournament Mode

Here you can enter up to 8 people to fight.  There are 5 different arenas and if you touch the ground out of the arena you lose.

You can only choose one character to play so choose wisely.

The trick to winning in this mode is to forcefully hit them to the ground.  I have done combos that smash your opponent down to the ground and won in less then 10 seconds.  This is much easier then smashing their hp bar to 0.

Conclusion

All and all, I think Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is a fun wii game. One let down is the lack of overly high speed teleportation combat you’d expect from super fast muscle masses of fury.

The gameplay is still fun, cause bashing people through building is quite an enjoyable experience, as well as blowing things up, like, the whole world in one shot with your ultimate move, whether your friends dodge or not.

I think blasting energy beams out of your hands is fun, but hey it’s your opinion.

I recommend you to buy this game, but you can try it from Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Have you played the previous Super Smash Brother games?  Well, if you have, you’ll love this game even more.

Super Smash Brother Brawl has added more things they you’ll ever expected for a multiplayer wii game. That and it also improved the graphics from the older Super Smash Bro. games (is it just me, but do the characters look bigger?)

That’s right Super Smash Brother brawl has grouped up a whole bunch of things from older games and I’ll tell you this, you won’t be disappointed at all in this multiplayer fighting game.

Super Smash Brother Brawl Gameplay

Goal in the game: Crush, beat, stomp, and jump your friends to death.  There’s no HP (unless you want to have it), so the only way to win is to knock them all off the screen

In the battlefield a cardboard box is the ultimate weapon!

In a battle you have weak attacks, smash (strong) attacks, and special moves.

Weak, smash, and special attacks all have more then one variation of their attack.  By pressing a direction and attacking you use a different attack.

By jumping into the air you can do ariel combat.  Some characters are pretty good with things like that.  Not only does it make your character looks cool, but it also adds different ways to fight.

There are tons of items in the game.  Not only do they help you win, it can also make hilarious things happen, like in an epic final showdown, a bomb appeared, and one of the fighters hit it and died… He never forgave me ever since.

Smash Ball

Super Smash Brother Brawl added new items to the series.  One of the game changing items is the smash ball.  Everybody will hate you when you when use it.

Whoever breaks the smash ball first gets to use their final smash A.K.A. their strongest move.  Once you have it press the B button to use it.

Super Smash Brother Brawl Multiplayer

Where do I start?  Super Smash Brawl has so many ways to play with your friends.  Super Smash Brother Brawl has Nintendo WFC + random matching means you

Can you de-falcon the Falco?

can battle with anyone!

If you want to play with your friends, you have to swap friend codes (like most multiplayer wii games).

On Nintendo WFC or just normal brawling you’ll be fighting with up to 4 players.  It’s the same thing on wi-fi.  You can battle up to 4 players, however if it’s random you can’t change the settings of the matches.

Normal Brawl

This is where the fun of this multiplayer wii fighting game is.  Here you choose:

• Any of the 35 characters.
• Set the rules to be coins, lives, time.
• Set many other rules that affects the game.
• Set the items (how fast they drop and what items will drop).
• Choose one of the 41 stages (not to mention custom).

Note: Sometimes music CD will drop.  Pick them up for new music, but instead you and your friends will, instead of helping each, ruin each others chances at getting the music.

Tournament Mode

You have a lot of friends over?  Host a tournament!

Just because this game is 4 players at most doesn’t mean you can’t play with only 4 people.  In fact this fighting game you have tournament mode where you set up a tournament for everyone to fight in.

Special Brawl

Special brawl is the same as normal brawl, except you get to have even more options to change the matches, from invisibility, to gravity, to sizes, to the speed.

Can you do this?

Subspace Emissary

This is what you’ll be playing when you don’t feel like brawling with computers or your friends, but instead fight together with them in a 2-player battle against real enemies.  This is the easiest way to unlock new characters.

This is the platforming part of this fighting game.  You run through stages defeating all the enemies in your way.

All-Star Mode

I’ll make this simple and to the point.  Fight and eliminate all of the playable characters in the game.

If it is too hard for you to take on All-Star Mode make the difficulty easier, but if you’re stubborn like me, get a friend, give him coffee and then invite him to play.  This is a 2-player battle to be the all-star player (get it anyone?)

Event Mode

Event mode is back (like all-star mode), and there’s more events then ever.

The first time Mew ever showed up!

There are two different modes of event: Single player fighting and 2-player fighting.

In each even you fufill unique event requirements, making games different from the usual brawling.  If you fail the requirements you lose the events.  If you want a added challenge change the difficulty!

Stadium Mode

Stadium mode has four multiplayer modes in it:

• Target Smash: You and a friend run around a stage destroying all targets.  It’s easier said then done, you’re being timed, and the targets are sometimes in some very dangerous places.
• Home-Run Contest: You have a home-run bat.  Beat the punch-bag up before time runs out and then finish it with a one-hit KO with the bat.  The farther you go the more you can win!  It has a 2-player mode where you and a friend both beat it up
• Multi-Man Brawl: This is a 2-player battle (or one player) challenge where you  slaughters 100’s of weak characters, but the damage you recieve will eventually add up, don’t underestimate them or you’ll be sent flying.
• Boss Battle: Now it’s you and a friend vs. Bosses you met during the Subspace Emissary.

Conclusion

Super Smash Brother Brawl has added so much more to the series.  It’s a one stop party for this wii game.  Even if you don’t feel like doing what this game is all about there are a lot of other thing you and a friend can do.

I have talked about a lot of the multiplayer things you can do, but I haven’t even talked about what you can do by yourself.  Get what I’m saying?

However even if you’re by yourself, and have no one to play with you can always go Nintendo WFC to play with random people around the world.  Now I’m not guaranteeing anything, but it’s still a neat feature.

I extremely recommend you buy this awesome game, but you can try renting it at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves is a multiplayer party game that came out with the release of the Nintendo Wii.

It may be older, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, in fact every time you play you’ll be amazed by how crazy playing from micro games to micro games in this game.

Micro games are fast paced games that only exist in the Wario Wares series.  They’re called micro games, because each one last in a couple of second, too short to be a mini-game.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Gameplay

You'll be fine if you don't run into the tree, the wall, or the ground.

In this multiplayer wii game you play through single player mode via stories of characters you meet as they encounter problems.

The events lead down to you playing micro games.  To reach the end you play through a set number of wacky and random micro games to reach the ending.

You’ll be introduced to many, many ways to swing the wiimote.  An example is the big cheese, which you pretend you’re a big important company CEO and put your wiimote near you waist, or samurai, where you use the wiimote like a sword.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves Multiplayer

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves does not have Nintendo WFC, no friend code, nada, but instead it has 7 different multiplayer party games that you can play with at

Fly! Fly! Fly! Until you lose in a micro game that is.

least 2 of your friends.

To unlock multiplayer mode you have to play single player mode until you unlock it.

To unlock the rest of the multiplayer games you have to play all of the multiplayer games at least once.

The 7 multiplayer games are:

• Darts – You can play up to 4 players.  You play darts by throwing darts onto a board.  Each person gets 300 points. The first one to bring it down to exactly 0 wins.
• Survival – You play with up to 12 players.  You play as angels flying in the sky.  You each play a micro game one by one and when you lose, you fall from the sky.  Harsh?  Yes.  Fun?  Definitely.  Let the best men (or women) win.
• Bomb – Play with 2-5 players.  You have a bomb.  You play a micro game, and if you win, you get to choose what the next player plays (I smell a way to abuse someone…).  However, if you lose, the bomb blows up.
• Lifeline – With 5 people, you basically play rounds of micro games.  Each game you win give you points, and in the end you’ll be hanging by ropes.  The number of ropes you have depends on how well you did.
• Star Nose – With another friend, you play as an airplane flying and collecting nose items.  If one of you crashes, the other person wins, so ram your friend into the wall!
• Balloon – With 5 people, you pump a balloon up.  Each turn you get to pump the balloon.  Then you play a micro game, hoping the balloon won’t pop on your turn.  Afterwards, it’s your friends turn.
• Bungee Buddy – You and another friend run through an obstacle course using the wiimote and the nunchuck.  You each get one of the remote and go through a timed obstacle course.  Get as far as you can!

Conclusion

Want to show your friend who’s the master of speedy reaction? Than this is the game for you then.  This would be a fast pace 2-12 player game for whoever wants to play it.

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves offer you over 200 micro games to play, and 7 multiplayer modes that are and aren’t related whatsoever.  Plus you don’t need more then 1 wiimote in any game.  It’s all played by one wiimote, cost effective unless you have more then one.

If you’re interested, I recommend you to buy this game (lot’s of replayability and fun multiplayer games), but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Mario is back with another party.  This time it’s at a carnival.

Like usual expect a lot of mini-games, focus on multiplayer goodness, and the bittersweet taste of almost beating your friends, but lost everything you have in one turn.

Mario Party 8 Gameplay

The gameplay to Mario Party 8 is still the same as all Mario Party games.  So if you hate the series you’ll hate this game, but if you love the series you’ll love this game.

Mario Party 8, like all of its multiplayer party game predecessors is played like a board game.  Everybody takes turn rolling their dice to make their move.

The goal of this wii game is to gather as many stars as you can and at the end of the game the person with the most stars win.  It’s up to you to do whatever you can to get the stars.

Once you picked a map the games starts and ends with a dice.  You roll the dice to decide who goes first, and who goes last.

Everybody starts with 10 coins.  You can get more by buying or getting items to steal them, winning mini-games, and stepping on blue spaces.

After every turn there is a mini-game.  There all sorts of games with all sorts of variation like 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 2, or free for all.

Mario Party 8 Multiplayer

You don't want to touch the flames...or jump into the lava

All Mario Party games are made for 4-player fun, that’s why it’s a party game.  Mario Party 8 is no exception.

There is no Nintendo WFC in this game so you can’t go online (but come on the game would last forever anyways) but there is local multiplayer.

You can have 4 players (assuming you have 4 wiimote, gamecube controller won’t cut it).  The more people there are the more hectic things become, because people know how to scheme, blackmail, and bribe better then the CPU, sorry but it’s true.

Party Mode

Like all Mario Party games you can play on one of the boards you have.  There are 6 boards total in this game.

You get to choose to play in 6 boards in this wii game.  They each have a theme, but beware, like a board game, this party game is very dependant on luck (that’s not always true though, I won 3 times in a row once).  The boards are:

• DK’s Treetop Temple: Like the regular Mario Party boards, get coins, and then buy the stars.
• Goomba’s Booty Board Walk: Get the coins and buy the stars ‘Nuff said (enough said).
• King Boo’s Haunted Hideaway: The star is hidden in a chest somewhere.  Find it and show your friends who’s the best bounty hunter.
• Shy Guy’s Perplex Express: Get coins and give them to the person at the end of the train.
• Koopa’s Tycoon Town: Get as many coins as you can and invest in hotels.  The person who invests the most gets the hotel, and the more money invested the hotel the more the hotel is worth.

Mini Game Tent

Here in this tent you can play all of the mini games you have unlocked in many different ways.

There are 5 ways you can play with them:

• Free Play Arcade: Play any mini game you unlocked.  You get to choose.
• Crown Showdown: Be the first one to win a certain amount of mini-game before your friends to win the game!
• Flip-Out Frenzy: Play a mini game and then the winner of it get to choose an area that’ll be colored in his color in a + shape.  The game is over when all of the spaces are colored.  The winner is the one who has the most colored area.  This is the place to put your mini game winning skills to your advantage.
• Tic-Tac Toe Drop: This is a 2-player game.  Its tic-tac toe.  Whenever you win a mini game you get to choose the first spot.  First to get 3 in a row wins.  This is definitely the way to dominate people with your mini game skills.
• Test for the Best:  Like the name says, this is the ultimate way for you to show your friends that you are the best.  You have 10 tests.  You get graded by how well you do, and in the end the person with the most points is the best!

Extra Tent

Here, are more mini games for you to play.  The difference is that… well I have no clue why they are different.  More mini game = more fun for you and your friends, right?

You get the first 3 games free, but then you have to buy the last three.  How do you do that?  Well play the game, get stars, and then buy them at the fun bizarre (not that fun if you ask me).

Conclusion

Mario Party 8 is a great multiplayer party game for any group and age of people to play.  There are enough mini-games that someone can find that one game they love to play no matter how simple, or for the board lover inside of us we can all go play on the many unique boards available.

If you’re interested, I recommend you to try renting this game first at Gamefly (sometimes you just get sick and bored of the extreme chances) starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga like all the other Lego games is a multiplayer adventure game.

If you play any other type of Lego games, then this game will still have a few surprises up its sleeve that keeps this game refreshing and having that new game feeling.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Gameplay

Like all Lego games Lego Star Wars: The Complete has a very simple yet addicting gameplay.

Your main goal is to get to the end of the stage by whatever means possible.  If you die you lose studs, and then you come back with 4 hearts again nice and easy.

You can slash, shoot, punch, and do much more things to the enemy droids in your way.  One of my personal favorite things to do is to use the force and push a droid into a mob of other droids, kind of like bowling.

Each character has something special about them.  Some know how to use the force, some jumps higher, and some use guns and know killer karate.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Multiplayer

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga is a giant game with 6 episodes, and 6 stages per episode.  There are a lot of stages to play, why not invite a friend?

It’s a 2-player Co-Op game, and there is no Nintendo WFC.  Look on the bright side that means no friend codes for you to register.

To play some other multiplayer games you have to enter Arcade Mode where there are some multiplayer games for you to play.  It’s next to the door to Story Mode.

Duel Mode

With so many lightsabers swinging around it's hard to count how many there are.

In this mode you choose who you want to play, and where do you want duel at.

You have to kill your friends 5, 10, 25, or 50 times, and yes, you can drop them into an endless pit of death for easy wins.

Collect Studs

This is similar to duel.  You choose your character (press 1 to change character, by the way) and then choose your map.  You can collect 50,000 or 100,000.  You have to do this 5 times and then the first to do it wins.

Destroy Enemy

Same as the above, pick character, pick amount of droids to destroy, and then choose the level.

Story Mode

You each play a character (chosen for you).  At times, there will be more then 2 characters in a level so you can switch by pressing C on the nunchuck.

In every stage there are things you interact with like making things crash and blow up with the force.  Doing things like this will lead you to getting studs.

Conclusion

The 2-player action of Lego Star Wars: The Complete (and all of the other Lego games) is a welcome addition to any Nintendo Wii.  The ability to drop in the game with a friend is greatly welcome as you could literally jump into the action.

Even after beating everything there are still lots more you can do.  One of the things is to get all of the secrets items.  The final thing is to go back to stages and gather money to buy new stuff!

If you like this game you should check out Lego Batman: the Video Game and Lego Indiana Jones: the Original Adventure.

if you’re interested, you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

I have never watched Indiana Jones before, but it’s really obvious that this is another great wii adventure game.

This multiplayer wii game offers 2-player mode, and you’ll be thankful.  Some of the games puzzles aren’t easy to figure out.

All characters have some special moves that help you solve puzzles, but it doesn’t matter the game gives you all the characters you need.

Finally don’t forget the most important thing…the theme song!  Do-do-du-doo-du-do-duu do-du-do-duu-do-do-do-do-do

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures Gameplay

Playing this 2-player adventure game is simple.  You just run around punching and kicking all of the enemies in your way, and your friends too if you have to.

Indiana Jones is drunk...with poison!

That’s the basic idea.  Is it easy?  At first, but things get harder and harder as you move on.

Eventually you’ll get frustrated and start a 2-player battle where you kill your friend multiple times (I know I did).

You have to use your characters special abilities sometimes to get something to happen.  A good example is using Indian’s whip and swing across a branch or push down a tree for your friends to cross.

Every stage you can gather studs, and every time you die you lose some.  No problem, because you can easily pick up what you dropped.

In every stage you can find things like guns, chairs, and even cups.  You can use these as weapons smacking (or shooting) whoever you want, including your friends

Lego Indian Jones: The Original Adventures Multiplayer

Traveling around takes a long time.

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures has no Nintendo WFC like the rest of the Lego games, but instead it has a great local multiplayer: it has a great 2-player Co-Op mode.

Adventure Mode

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures features a drop in/out Co-Op mode.  That means your friend can come and leave as they want.

Unfortunately the only way you can play this multiplayer wii game is to play locally on your television.  It’s only 2-player so don’t tell all of your friends to come over play.

Once your friend (or you) jumps into the game you each play the character in the mission.  There will be arguing about who plays who, but remember if you’re angry you can always kill them (in the game, I know what you were really thinking: P).

Conclusion

Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures is a very fun, if not friend-killing-stress-relieving-fun game that you can play.  Solving puzzles together, defending a friend with your body while they solves a puzzle, or just killing him/her for fun just shows you how well of a Co-Op game this is.

Remember, it’s not how you kill your friends, it’s how many times in a row you can kill them while taking their money that matters.  If you like this game you should check out Lego Star Wars: The complete saga and Lego Batman: The Video Game. So, in other words, Legos are awesome!

if you’re interested, you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
