No, it’s not like Super Smash Brother Brawl, you have less movement space, but instead you get the classic press multiple direction and then attack to use special moves.

Not only does this game have the old arcade feel you also get not 1, not 2, but 5 different games in this one game!

With multitudes of character you’ll have fun with this game!

King of Fighters Collection the Orochi Saga Gameplay

Gameplay

Now even though the game gives you 5 game you wouldn’t really play the old ones over the new one (Duh).  However you can still play the older version for whatever reason you want.

The controls for this game are up to you.  Just like Metal Slug Anthology you can set up your controllers with just about any way you want, and play in whatever style you want ex: with nunchuck, left horizontal, right horizontal, gamecube, etc

Now the game itself is really easy to play (despite of being void of any plot (that or I just got bored and skipped it)).  You have 4 attack buttons, or I like to call them heavy punch/kick and light punch/kick.

Combine those attacks with a whole slew of direction mashing techniques to grab your opponent or use special fiery skills (varies with character).

There’s no running out of the map, because you’re stuck in it.   You can only jump, dodge, or block your way out of situations!

King of Fighters Collection the Orochi Saga Multiplayer

Now this game has no Nintendo WFC (sadly) it still offers multiplayer for all of the games.

Multiplayer

Well its simple your friend just press start/+ in a match then there you go!  You’re in!

You pick a team of 3 characters (depends on which game though, the older games just let you pick a team with the character’s pre chosen).  And then you brawl it out to see who the supreme victor of this multiplayer fighting game is!

Conclusion

A port for the King of Fighter game with not 2, but 5 games!

Enjoy the battles you might have at the arcades with strangers or just CPU’s, except for free and forever (or until your Wii breaks anyways )

Complete challenges to unlock all sorts of music, pictures, and other cools things, and then when you’re done with that, you’ll master all the moves your characters can use to inflict massive damage on your friends and family!

I’ll be friends with you for only 20 dollars!-Yoink!

Give me my clothes back! –Already Yoinked!

The only game where someone will give you the shirt off there back-BECAUSE YOU TAKE IT! In this game, you get to beat up people, and steal their clothes!

You can also break stuff with the sheer agonizing sound of your ridiculously overly loud yelling, but still, you’re yelling at stuff.

Of course, you could always throw a rabid at it, but that takes all the fun out of it!

Rabbids Go Home Gameplay

Gameplay

For some reason, the Rabbids believe they belong on the Moon. It’s most likely because they habitually sleep on large glowing objects, like lamp posts. So now they’re on a quest to gather random items and stack them up to reach the moon!

The game simply makes you pull a shopping cart with you and you gather everything you run into.

After you gather everything you can give it to a rabbid with a trombone.  Then he’ll blow it back to your giant stack of loot.  After every level you’ll see the rabbids as they disappoint failed to reach the moon.

Rabbids Go Home Multiplayer

Campaign

Okay, I’ll be frank. The multiplayer kinda stinks. I mean, one of you guys will be able to run, and jump, and yell, but the other one…well, they can’t do much. They must…PICK UP RANDOM OBJECTS THAT ARE LOOTABLE! Like clothes. Oh, and they can throw rabbids, too, but that’s about it. Not to good, see?

So it’s basically like Mario Galaxy’s multiplayer if you played it before.  The 2^nd player can’t be a character and play.

Rabbids Go Home Conclusion

Rabbids Go Home is a great single player game, but not that great of a multiplayer game. I mean, I was kinda expecting a second cart to appear from no where to be able to assist you, but that’s not the case. However, it is still a really good single player game, with tons of hilarious antics.

Rabbids Go Home is an excellent game that has good controls (That bad teammates cannot mess up!), a good sense of humor, and some really silly rabbids. Rabbids go home is a must have for platforming fans that have annoying friends/relatives that always beg to play (But you won’t let them because they suck), because they can only help!

Smarty Pants doesn’t have much to do, but for what it does have it has a lot of good things, spanning from 20,000 questions in 8 categories!

Unfortunately though the game doesn’t have much different things for you to do, so its one of those casual games that you’ll play with friends and family every now and then when you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Smarty Pants: Trivia for Everyone Gameplay

Gameplay

Smarty Pants, like all the other trivia games is all about answering questions.  You have 4 choices, 1 answer, and 3 wrong answers.

You can’t play much by yourself, the only thing you can do is just answer questions within a certain time limit and see how many questions you can get right.

Smarty Pants: Trivia for Everyone Multiplayer

This multiplayer Wii game has 2 multiplayer mode: Friend Mode and Family Mode.  Friend mode is competitive and family is Co-Op.

Friend Mode

You have 2 modes to play in this, both involving spinning a wheel for a category and then ringing in to answer questions for points:

• Wager – After you choose a category you enter a mini-game where you shoot moving objects for points.  If you’re in a category that you’re really good at shoot at the positive points, and if you’re in a bad category shoot red color objects to deduct the points each correct answers give you.
• Countdown – No point deciding you just spin a wheel for you category and try to get the right answers.

Family Mode

This is the same as solo mode.

First you choose a how much time you want to work with and the amount of questions you want to work through.

Finally you get to choose to use multi-remote or one wiimote.  There is really no difference, just try to quickly answer all the questions as fast and correctly as possible!

Conclusion

20,000 questions, 8 categories, and 2 modes, Smarty Pants won’t be the next block buster hit, but its still a great game for you to play if you’re sick of Super Smash Brother Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and all of those other games.

However just, because it’s for the Wii doesn’t make this multiplayer Wii game bad.  In fact you can play online or just the campaign just as well as Modern Warfare 2, just as long as you’re not one of those graphic freaks

The pistol reloads faster then the machine gun, but the knife reloads faster then the pistol. –That Chief Commander Guy at the tutorial

It’s true, stabbing equals one hit kill. Provided you CAN stab someone, anyways. Well, guess what game’s back? Call of Duty! That one game that used  to be a second dog but is now a top dog! Okay, yeah, I think that’s enough gushing.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Gameplay

Gameplay

You play this game like any other multiplayer shooting games.  You point in the screen and fire your bullets.

One major improvement in this game is the fact that you don’t throw grenades whenever you shake the nunchuck.  I have killed myself many times with the grenade as I scratched my nose. L

The game has a tutorial that teaches you everything, but I can say that everything is smooth and actually fun compared to a lot of other games.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Multiplayer

Multiplayer

Unfortunately in this game there is no offline multiplayer like the other counterpart, but this game still has Nintendo WFC!

You might think the games will run slowly, but you’re dead wrong.  You might see people lag around, you might even lag around, but when you play deeper into the game you won’t noticed the lag as much.

When you first go online you can choose from only 3 modes of games.  You also get pre-made classes with set weapons.

As you quickly play throught the game you’ll get exp and increases in ranks.  When you get to rank 4 you could create your own character.  You can give him whatever weapons, sub weapons, perks (special ability) that you want.

You have far too many game modes to play in, so I won’t say any. ‘Sides, the title is pretty self explanatory (I mean, come on, DEATHMATCH!? That’s plainly obvious), so read ‘em yourself.

The guns aren’t as self explainatory, but just read their description and just plow through people with bullets of fury!

Conclusion

Okay, in this game, you’ll be shooting, knifing, and bombing everyone that isn’t you, or a friendly. Okay, so basically, you’ll have a whoooole lot of shooting. Like most first person shooters. But this one is one of the ones that do it right.

Well, last paragraph. Here’s some advice: Strafing is an invaluable skill, but only if you’re not running. Then it’ll get you confused! Also, remember that your life is greater then ammo, so shoot if you think someone’s there (Even if it’s a body!). Okay, yeah, overall, a must-have for people who love to shoot and aren’t afraid to get there hands dirty.
The online is a heck load of fun that keeps you coming back, so if you’re interested, you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly For Free!

Go back to Shooting Games

The game is a multiplayer rail shooter game (ex: like Time Crisis if anyone ever played it before).

This means you’re in first person view while the characters move by themselves and you get to shoot the zombies!  In this game you’ll literally shake around like the characters as then run with their lives.

While the stages are disturbing the game itself isn’t really scary.  You might get surprised, rushed, but you’re not going to wet your pants, but grab your brother and try playing the game at night with lights off anyways!

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Gameplay

Gameplay

Like mentioned this is a rail shooter game, so you can’t control movement.  The only movement you can do is shooting at the zombies!

As you wander through the game you’ll find weapons, ammos, weapons, people, weapons, zombies, weapons, and guess what else?  Weapons!

The ammo you find are shared with your teammate so despite your needs of being a weapon hog, it’s not going to happen.

You’ll hear characters scream as you battle through the undead, you’ll see corpse that’ll unsurprisingly stand up and attack you, and you’ll get into situation where you can watch your friend’s character get mauled to death (purposely don’t save them).

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles Multiplayer

This multiplayer Wii game does come with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, but it isn’t the type we’re trying to get.  It’s an online ranking system.  Submit your scores online and hope you make it to the top of the list.

Multiplayer

The only multiplayer in this game is…the whole entire game!  Play through the whole entire game with a friend.

Make sure they get into the game before you start the stage, because the game won’t let them join once you started the stage.

Don’t shoot crazily when you’re playing.  You’re sharing everything with your friend, so be conservative, or else you’ll both be stuck with the infinite bullet handgun.

Conclusion

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles adds a new chapter to the Resident Evil series (you just have to get far enough in the game).

You might not get the scare you’re hoping for, but regardless you don’t see much good graphic rail shooter games with the wrath of the undead after you.  Kill one and before you know it 2 more come and take its place.

Blaze through the game with different difficulties, upgraded weapons, and even take different routes in the replays, this game has replay values, co-op, and upgradeable weapons, what more do you want?

if you’re interested, you should try renting this game first at Gamefly For Free!

It all started when apprentice magician Kari decided that she wanted to eat takoyaki (Japanese fried octopus).  She cast a spell and instead of takoyaki it rained octopuses!

This multiplayer puzzle game has a lot of modes for you and a friend to play in, but lacks variety in the gameplay.

Octomania Gameplay

Gameplay

Note: Use the sideway controls!

There are multiple modes in this game.  Some have multiplayer, but all of them involves you playing in an 8×10 board.

On the boards are multiple 3×3 grill space.  You’ll see a number in the middle of it.  You have to put that amount of the same color octopuses to “grill” them.  When you move other octopuses to the grill you’ll grill it too.

You control a 2×2 square where you rotate the octopuses inside the square around.  This is how you move the octopuses.

By chaining octopuses you’ll be attacking your enemies with urchins which are hard to get rid of.  Each character has a specific color that they specialize in.  By chaining those colors you attack your opponents with even more urchins!

Your opponent loses when their board is filled and they can’t get rid of anything in 3 seconds.

Octomania Multiplayer

Every mode operates the same as each other.  There are 3 categories you are looking at:

• Arcade Mode
• Original Mode
• Nintendo WFC

I have no clue what the difference in gameplay is between Arcade and Original mode, besides the character.

Arcade involves Kari fixing her magic, while Original is about other characters and their own personal…issues.

Arcade

There is only one mode:

2 Player Battle: It’s a simple you vs. a friend!

Original

There are 3 modes:

• Octopuzzle – Play through story mode with a friend.  You both play on the same grid against easy opponents to multiplayer opponents.
• Octobattle – Battle with 1-4 friends (only mode with 4 players).  Where there are more then 2 players there are teams
• Endless – Play endlessly until you DIE. 2 players only

Nintendo WFC

Battle with friends or random players online in this multiplayer puzzle game.

However last time I check there wasn’t anyone around, but then again it was 11:01…

Conclusion

Even though the gameplay is the same and simply repeats itself over and over the game still has its quirks.

While some might find the story “cute” or “annoying” or anything else, you might still find the game enjoyable.  The game got a few chuckles out of me even with the voice acting so it’s fine.

Also to boot this multiplayer puzzle game also has quite a few Co-Op games you can play in story mode with, so there is a lot you can do.

If you’re not sure whether you would like this game, you should try renting this game first at Gamefly For Free!

Well, this one is just like that. But better. FOR IT IS A SEQUAL! Okay, seriously, you get to bomb stuff, tank stuff, infantry stuff, AND boat stuff. Pretty good, eh?

This game is not without flaws, namely: Really bad and heavy accents.

You’ll be hearing an obnoxiously loud seagull wannabe, and some times, a really annoying Asian briefing lady. Arg, the bad accents, it burns (no offence intended)!

Battalion Wars 2 Gameplay

Gameplay

Also, you can control one unit of the available units, and control the rest of your army.

Ship ahoy!

Now you’re going to kill people by shooting them repeatedly until they fall forever.

So this means no invincibility get ups, just a gun fight to the death. Western Style, preferably.

Battalion Wars 2 Multiplayer

Multiplayer

Okay, the only multiplayer you get is this: Nintendo WFC. Basically, you fight others and try to break their base. When everything falls (Like in an RTS), you win/lose if it was yours!

The other option is to work with a friend online in any of the missions, co-op!

Conclusion

Okay, basically, you’ll be shooting and bombing, maneuvering and blasting at anything that isn’t scenery. Okay, fine. You’ll also be listening to bad accents and doing barrel rolls to evade like…everything. Except giant bombs.

If you love third person shooters and planes, you’ll love this game. The cartoony graphics contrast with the violent storyline and the heavy murder. A must have for fans of shooters and airplane/boat simulator fans.

You should try renting this game first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

Back home he meets old friends and new foes.

Alongside the older and stronger Naruto come new and improved characters.

Every character has become stronger and has new awesomer moves!

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 Gameplay

Gameplay

When you play the game you can either start with story mode or just go to vs. mode.

In story mode you follow the Naruto Shippuden’s storyline all the way to the end of Gaara’s story while winning battles fulfilling certain requirements.  These are very hard requirements involving 1 vs. 2 situations, finishing enemies with special attacks, and more.

When you fight you fight in 1 of 40 maps.  They don’t really have anything special about them except for how they look.

In battles you hide behind objects, throw things, or just plain beat the crap out of each other.  In this game when you get near death you get an incensement in stats or the ability to use special skills.

Tip: There are three types of attack weak, strong, and special.  Special requires chakra, but if you click the one of them + a direction you’ll get different results some being evilly spammable ex: Naruto and strong + down.

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 Multiplayer

First of all this game is the first Wii game of the Naruto series to have online capabilities!  Brush up your skills and bring any character you unlocked for an online match.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

First create your name and then go online to kick some butt (or get kicked).  Here you can do three things (there are 4 but 2 of them are pretty similar.):

• Ranked Match – Fight for points and win/lose rations.  You can fight anyone friends, rivals, or just total strangers.
• Friend Match – Fight against your friends you exchanged friend codes with.
• Rival Match – Fight with your rivals you made as you battled them online.

You can do 1 character fights or team battles with you each playing 2 characters.

Vs. Mode

Here you can choose 1P, 2P, 3P, 4P, or spectator mode.  All are self explanatory.

2-players allow you to:

• Play with 1 CPU or 2 CPU with a friend.
• Fight with one character or two characters
• Play 2P Survival, Time Attack, and Score Attack
• Fight with CPU’s in a 2 man team (you and your friend being one of the characters)

3-players allow you to:

• Play with 1 CPU and 2 other friends
• Fight with only 1 character in any team combination you want.

4-players allow you to:

• Fight in any combination of teams you want
• Play in Co-Op team where you in a teammate switch in to fight with you other 2 friends switching in out amongst themselves.

Conclusion

Overall, Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is a relatively swell game. The characters are all neater looking, and now the characters are a wee bit more balanced. Seriously, Asuma will still almost surely kill you, but he’s now a little weaker!

Another thing: we got more flash. You get flying fists of fiery death, instead of repeated punches (Not really, but you get the idea).

If you’re a fan of Naruto and are looking for a good fighting game to play with friends you should buy this game, but you can rent it first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!

A common fact that is very true.  So do you know what to do?  Sabatoge!  Break the remote, cover the screen, use Action Replay!

Point is it’s not all easy.

Sega Superstars Tennis Tricks

Control the Ball

Hit the ball while tilting your analog stick at the direction you want the ball to go.  That’s it.

If the ball comes from your right side and you hit it the right it will go fast, but if you hit it left it’ll go slower.

Super Star Mode

When you activate it your character will become bigger, stronger, and faster too (he’s the king of the jungle!) + everytime you hit the ball special things happen like banana balls, twisty balls, etc.

So when you get it its recommended that you hit all of the ball if you’re in team mode.

Now if it’s used against you, it’s not the end of the world.  Some character have pretty lame super moves.  Or you can manage to hit it back.

On another hand, looting enemy guns, burning peasants, and calling air strikes to literally strike down people is just adding to the fun of this multiplayer Wii game.

Unfortunately in this game you play with a friend shooting on your screen unlike the other versions where they are their own character.

Call of Duty 5: World at War Gameplay

Gameplay

You start out captured by the Japanese in WWII.  You watch as a fellow soldier gets tortured to death, but just before its your turn you get saved.  Now it’s time for revenge!

Fulfill mission objectives as you blow up, shoot, and stab enemy soldiers.  That’s really all you have to do in this game!

Call of Duty 5: World at War Multiplayer

Multiplayer

There are two multiplayer modes.

Co-Op

You play two players in the campaign, with your friend as an invisible gun. Player 1 is the guy that moves around, and the camera follows your angle so generally you get the best aim, while your friend pathetically tries to aim.

Nintendo WFC

You get to pick five pre-made classes, three of which you start with, and must level up to unlock them, as well as character creation.

Conclusion

Call Of Duty 5: World At War is a fun multiplayer Wii game, especially if you like shooting. You can do all the campaign over and over again, because it can be incredibly fun to shoot all of those Germans with that sweet Type 99.

The game is a very explosive one, with surprises every moment. Make sure you expect that guy with a shotgun on the top of that flight of stairs. Make sure you expect that bayonet charge.

All and all, this is a must have for FPS fans, even more so if you are a Call of Duty fan!

if you have another system besides this I would recomend you to buy that version but, you should try renting the wii version first at Gamefly starting as low as $8.95 or Try For Free!
