Indeed it does. I'm not sure if there is a game alone version as some Wii games give you the choice, but for 32 quid maybe not.

Just played this multiplayer with some people and as a multiplayer game it's a lot of fun! The mini games are really good and the coop ones can be hilarious. It's also really good value for money. I was told it was bought for £32 from Tesco which is good money considering how many games are on it plus the wiimote it comes with. Compare that to when i bought Wii Play when it was just released in 2007 at that price or higher and it knocks spots off it quantity wise.

My word this game is getting slaughtered on reviews! I expected them to be critical but they go as far as saying the game is only 'half done and shouldn't have been made commercially available.' I think the only thing that Gametrailers said positively about it was the graphics. But being the completionist that I am for the Final Fantasy Series, i'll probably pick this up on ps3 and never play it much. Heck even playing 5 minutes of it would be nice, FF11 on the 360 wouldn't let me as the code was 'invalid.' It was a new, sealed game!

Achievements can be annoying, like the ones on Guitar Hero that only expert players can do online or for deliberately being crap at a game. But although it looks nice when it's 1000/1000, as long as the game is decent i'm not too fussed. Would rather have a decent game with 50/1000 than a crap but easy game with 1000/1000. My achievement whoring days are long behind me.

Height doesn't seem to make a difference, or at least anymore. I'm a 6f 4" 20 year old and i'm constantly getting asked for id. It wasn't so bad when it was just drink and the such, but they've now started cracking down on 18 films and games...annoying.

Hell yes! Oh wait, more money to be spent, darn.

How does the mice pie taste?

Your not alone there, i also get that and it's very annoying when your very angry. I think that was the last time i shed a few tears actually, when i was angry with someone.

Not the Gizmondo then? It is a novel idea but it's never going to take off. Maybe, as has been said, in Korea and China but elsewhere?

Super Castlevania 4 is awesome : peace:

I'll post it in my sig after i finish the campaign so it's there. I don't play much online but sure, i'll probably be up for some sometime.

Finally picked this up today. Thought i'd somehow skipped a mission as the achievements for completing missions start at mission 2? Stopped when i got to mission 6. So far i'm enjoying it after a bit of a slow start with that first mission it seems to be really picking up.

I swear Yoshi's Island is harder, can't remember. I've finished DKC 1 and 2 multiple times and i suppose it's like everything, the more you play the better you get and the easier it gets. As a kid that first minecart level on DKC1 got me everytime with that upwards jump, then someone told me of the sneaky jump into the hole at the start trick I did go back and do it eventually though, gotta love those mine cart levels <3 I can play through both 1 and 2 fairly easily now but certain levels like the lost world volcano level in 2 still kill me a bit. But yeah, can't remember the snes Yoshi's Island as I haven't played it recently, but i played through Yoshi's Island DS and i got well and truly stuck, bloody hard game that, deceivingly hard!

I'm pretty sure it'll be localised but it's who gets it. Too many times it ends up that the Americans get RPGs when we don't, Europe gets left out We've missed out so much in the past, chrono trigger, final fantasy...although credit where it's due, a lot of what we missed are now being re-released on the DS or the virtual console.

This And i haven't played Shadow of Colossus yet, although it is on my 'to get' list. I hear it's good though

Woah! Quite a response there :p It's still a good game, i'm not saying that it isn't...but come on, 1 and 2 are much, much better games and it was a disappointment in comparison. Well for me at least. I can't have been the only one who put this game in for the first time highly excited, started playing the first level and uttered 'wtf' as i saw what they had done to the enemy sprites Plus the ending was also a disappointment, i don't want photos i want my enemies moving across the screen and diddy kicking donkey kong up the arse! Just to verify: Disappointing compared to Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, but still a good game. Phew!

In Japan at least I really hope they localise this as if they do i'll definately be getting it!

Donkey Kong Country 3....it wouldn't have been a bad game on it's own, but compared to the awesomeness of DKC and my personal favourite DKC2 it was seriously lacking. The hit detection seemed a bit..off in the bosses and the enemy sprites looked terrible! It was also the first one where i dreaded the boss fights as they were terrible, (with the exception of the snowman!) The overworld map was a neat new idea though, i guess that's what they spent their time focusing on. |:

I know people moan about SMB2 being a mario version of Doki Doki Panic, but is it really classed as the black sheep of the family? I say this because Super Mario Sunshine is that to me, as it isn't the pure platform goodness of the other games in the series and is usually ranked lower than SMB2, or disliked more.

My word, this is so going to be my favourite Wii title. I played DKC1 and 2 to death so i'll definately be getting this!

Mastur.......ing your Halo Reach multiplayer skills?

Very interesting read that and i like how fair he is about reviewing each game. It's a shame he had to start out on the N64 though, i'm only a couple of years older and i was playing duck hunt and super mario bros 3 when i was only a few years old and the snes was the first system i really got into. I was lucky though i guess. I'll probably continue to follow this blog now and see how it gets on with other games.

It's still possible though, as the DS Lite is still being sold even after the DSi and DSi XL were released. Maybe they just want to increase the longetivity of the DSi XL? Then again they tried that with the Gameboy by releasing the Gameboy Micro and it just got completely overshadowed by the DS, so who knows.

This isn't going to happen...or at least i hope not. It could bugger up retro collectors, like myself, who buy games used as they aren't actually on sale new anymore. And even if it is just new games they decided to do this to, if you see a game for 45 quid and then a practically new used copy for 20 quid, what are you honestly going to go for? But then again this isn't happening.
