Is this game supposed to look like it was made for the PSOne?
Because being $10 less than the rest of the current gen is assholish and should not be bought at full price.Eh, I don't have anything against the price itself, I wouldn't buy them if they were cheaper, I just haven't played a Wii game yet that provided the game time that I felt would be necessary to justify a full purchase. I already owned RE4 for the GC, and the minigame compilations in their many forms are best rented. For the Wii, I own Zelda (which I got with the Wii) which I have not played for more than 4 hours, Wii sports, which is the best game released for the system thus far, and Wario Ware, which I got from a friend and lasted me all of 2 days before the novelty wore off. Everything else is a rent. I'd have the same policy with my 360 as well, but in general that system has more games I'd rather own (Mass Effect, Bioshock, etc.) and for some reason nobody rents Wii games from our Blockbuster, and most 360 games are rented out quickly, unless they're something like Halo 3, which I'm not going to rent anyhow.
I might be buying a Wii this weekend...
The Godfather
This is the best of the bunch so far, which isn't saying much. The actual gameplay itself is good fun. It's very familar to anyone who has played Grand Theft Auto but there's some nice mechanics thrown in. Plus the Wiimote is used very effectively for shooting and fighting. I especially like sneaking up behind people, throwing piano wire over their head and shaking the controls until they die. That sort of thing makes you glad to own a Wii. The game is very open-ended and you get a lot of choice on what you want to do, which is really fortunate because the adopted storyline is woeful beyond belief. It really shouldn't be associated with The Godfather franchise because the films are so incredible and there is too much to live up to. Rather than set this actually quite playable game in the Godfather universe, they tried to weave a character into the storyline of the first film. They did get the original voice-actors in and they all look the part but the dialogue they recorded is basically pap. They make some horrible changes to the narrative and after a while you start to genuinely dread having to play the storyline missions. Also, they clearly couldn't get the rights to Al Pacino, so the Michael character looks and sounds nothing like him. Why put him in at all then? As long as we are ruining the narrative to this extent, why not just cut the bastard out all together? However, like I said it plays well and the graphics are good for this console.
However, I will say that the pink shirts are unilaterally awesome.Especially if you have a tan.
