    Like everyone else on here who's played it, I loved it apart from towards the end. Not sure how they managed to send it so downhill after the really strong start. I really like this type of game and I'd buy it again regardless of what I know about the end just because I think it's important to support those who are making games that are different.

     

    If this sort of thing is your bag then I'd recommend Shadow of Memories/Shadow of Destiny (another game with a diff name in the US), which is a pretty old PS2 game. Same interactive story style with lots of time travel and multiple endings. One of my first and favourite Playstation games.

    I'm glad this has been put back as I was looking at my pre-orders and starting to worry about financing all these purchases! I'm going to have plenty of games to keep me busy until the end of the year so it'll be something to look forwards to in January.

    Not putting this out for Christmas is a big mistake. My mum bought a Wii but has only played Wii Sports. She's only interested in games that involve you moving about and exercising and also she works long hours and hasn't much spare time for gaming. This would be perfect for her but I can't see her buying it any other time apart from Christmas when she's got time to play it and all the family is around to join in the fun.

     

    More serious gamers are going to have a great Christmas with Galaxy et al but with not much for casual gamers to get their teeth into, I don't think its going to be a 'Wii Christmas' like last year was.

    I'm just back in Flipside after beating the Chapter 1 boss. I'm a bit behind everyone aren't I? Enjoying it though and with my other half away for the next three nights I'm hoping to get stuck in, in between watching Champions League.

    I have a colleague who firmly believes that the Wii is for casual rather than hardcore gamers. He's big into PC gaming and reckons Nintendo games are kiddy and aren't immersive enough. He's actually got a DS but I've given up trying to argue with him about the Wii as I don't really care. I love my Wii and am playing it heaps at the moment, much more than I ever played my PS2. I'll take Mario over Halo any day - for me it's just more fun and that's what's important.

    The hard level is definitely more challenging and you lose points for doing a 'bad' line. I'd like to know a bit more about how the scoring works though - is it just picking up whether you make a sound at the right time and if that sound is a higher or lower note to the last one? I wonder how sophisticated it is.

     

    To be honest I'm pretty bored of the track list. I wish there was more choice but that might just be because a lot of the music on there isn't to my taste.

    To be honest with you, there doesn't seem much point now that we are entering a big release phase. There are so many games to be playing over the next three months, there's not really any need to import. The biggest advantage in doing this would have been earlier this year when there wasn't much happening here.

    I played it last night for an hour with my other half and really enjoyed it. I didn't realise how terrible my voice was but I'm still clinging on to the hope that I just haven't found the right song yet! I sound like I'm auditioning for X Factor and trying to convince Simon Cowell that I really can sing, don't I? Anyway, no worries because you'll get a gold medal however bad your singing is.

     

    That's the bit I really don't understand - I've tried the easy and medium levels and got gold every time even though I sounded terrible. I'm really hoping the hard level is a little more challenging. It's still great fun though but I need to unlock some more songs as some of the 'best' ones aren't available right away. Not done the dancing much yet and not tried the story mode at all so can't comment on that.

     

    I think there's more than an hour in it - that's a little harsh. I can definitely see us having lots of fun with it for a month and then I'll take it to my folks at Christmas and we'll enjoy it all over again. I'll try and post a more comprehensive review next week when I've played it some more.

    Thanks Rokhed00 - got your games on Saturday and will add feedback. Tomma - I've been off sick all week and as I asked for you to send them to work I've not had chance to collect them yet. Hopefully going into work tmrw so will add feedback for you then.

    I agree. Sims as a format was getting very tired but bringing in elements of Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon could make it very cool. I love the characters - much more fun looking and sounds like there's huge scope for design creativity. I've not read the review through yet but it reminded me of the way you build stuff in Second Life.

    I got an email from Amazon this morning saying that it had been delayed by the suppliers so I won't get it until early next week.

     

    Is it out in the shops yet? I really wanted it for the weekend (although got a cold now so prob not such a good idea!). I got it for £32.99 off Amazon before they put the price up so reluctant to cancel my order.

    Realised in my previous post that I got your username wrong. Meant to say Rokhead00 not fatnickc!

     

    Will sort payment now.

     

    Thanks for the great response to my request. I now have deals for all the games apart from Chibi Robo.
