This game is so in my collection (sorry if old)http://wii.ign.com/articles/833/833766p1.html MoH 2 IGN review
Very new. About what I expected which is good.MoH 2 IGN review
That's a good score indeed.off-topic: it took me a long time to work out what the hell MASATONG was. :(
Higher than I expected, that's for sure.
[QUOTE=''Foolz3h'']That's a good score indeed.off-topic: it took me a long time to work out what the hell MASATONG was. :([/QUOTE]LOL yeah same with me, but now I just think it's funny :lol:
[QUOTE=''Foolz3h''] That's a good score indeed.off-topic: it took me a long time to work out what the hell MASATONG was. :([/QUOTE] XD!!! LOL
yes i am getting this game! see you guys online with my gun pointed at u
awesome. now what will gamespot will give it? :o.
COD4 got a 9.4 from ign and Gamespot gave it a 9.0
MOH2 got a 8.4 from ign..... will history repeat again?:o but with 10 points lower XD.
Knowing GS, they may give the game either a 7.5 or a solid 8.0. I'd be shocked if it gets lower than 7.5. Personally, I'm hoping for 8.5 or better (wishful thinking I know).
nice one! can't wait for this.
A Great Score!ps.MASATOG = Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games:D
gamespot will compare this game's graphics and say something like: ''the xbox360/PC/PS3 has better graphics than this wii...it's so fugly...'' and then give it a 6.5

-nintendos' customer service practices-
because of nintendo I have had the greatest customer service experience ever... it goes like this: late sept. i find out i have to move within a month. soon after i find out, my wii starts displaying vertical lines of pixels that flicker different colors. first i think '' great my new tv is broken''. however, i test it on another tv and it is doing the same thing. since i don't know where i will be living, i am hesitant to get it repaired. fast forward. last sun(11/4/07) i am settling in to my new place(hooking up t.v. and all necessary electronics) and i plug my wii in. it has gotten worse. i go online to see if others have had this problem. i find that this has happened quite abit and it means my gpu is shot. so on mon(11/5/07) i call it in to nintendo. i tell them what's wrong and i ask how long it will be to get it back. they tell my 8-12 business days. i explain my disappointment because mario galaxy(i preordered it and paid it all off) was due out on the 13th and that would mean i wouldn't receive my wii until nov. 14th to nov. 20th. i ask if there is any way he can upgrade the shipping because if my situation. he checks with his boss and says yes but there is no way he can guarantee it will be there in time. i say it is ok and thank him for his effort and time. it is now 11/8/07 and my wii is repaired and shipped for a delivery date of 11/12/07. just in time for me to enjoy mario the day that it comes out. thanks nintendo! -nintendos' customer service practices-
Don't tell GS about it, write to the big Nintendo themselves :). I forgot the aderess, I just know it's up here in Washington :P. -nintendos' customer service practices-
oh they will hear from me. i just wanted to share exp.
lol, yep, Nintendo always (in my experience) has had the best customer service I've ever seen....though I can usually just drive to Nintendo instead of shipping it :P.

If you have a Wii you REALLY should buy ...
Please if you are a smart gamer,if you enjoy playing smart ,insanely fun games.Give a shot to this game.it is a little jewel, funny , smart , innovative.You are going to love this game especially if you sit with a friend (or your wife in my case)and solve the puzzles tougether.If you have a Wii you REALLY should buy ...
I plan on getting it. I like the point and click adventure games.If you have a Wii you REALLY should buy ...
[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]
already have it and have beaten it! (though i've not 100%-ed it yet)I highly recommend this game as well! Hell, even non wii owners should buy this game now! That's how excellent it is, and how much we should be trying to keep it from dropping into obsucrityI have been telling people about how fun it is, but unfortunatly i only know one person who has a wii.. and i only know him through a friend.
Co-sign from me too. I rented it out of curiousity to see what everyone's been buzzing about for like a year. It is a classic game. I'm working my budget now to buy SMG, Fire Emblem GameCube, and Zack %26 Wiki.
Yeah I plan on getting it, looks cool.
i might get around to buying it, but i don't know when it releases in australia.
I have it and i highly recommend it as well. It is a challenging, funny, and stylish puzzle game that unfortunatley is being passed over due to the fact that it looks like a kids game. In some ways it may be a kids game at heart, but some of the puzzles in Zack and Wiki are way beyond a kids understanding. I have gotten stuck on some puzzles for long periods of time, but for some reason, unlike other puzzle games, instead ofgetting so irratated that i stop playing all together, it really keeps you wanting to find the treasure. A must have game for any wii owner who is up for a challenge.
I totally agree. Zack %26 Wiki is one of the best games for Wii and everyone should pick it up.
I approve this thread. Right on.
Definitely. If only because the more people purchase this (and others), the more it'll encourage the 3rd parties into bringing quality exclusives to the Wii.
Almost everyone who has commented has this game....and I am in the same boat. I've had a super busy schedule and haven't had anytime to really sink into it, but I just got out of the jungle and on to the ice stages. I must say I am very impressed. This game makes me happy to have a Wii. Go buy it if you don't have it!
hmmmmmm....mario galxy or zack and wiki?.....galaxy
I'm having trouble choosing between zack %26 Wiki and Mercury Meltdown Rev.Is one distinctly more interesting than the other?
[QUOTE=''dinofan01'']hmmmmmm....mario galxy or zack and wiki?.....galaxy[/QUOTE]Get both, trust me.
no
[QUOTE=''evrdayblues'']I'm having trouble choosing between zack %26 Wiki and Mercury Meltdown Rev.Is one distinctly more interesting than the other?[/QUOTE] Well, Mercury is good, but it is a port. Z%26W is an exclusive that really takes full advantage of what the Wii offers.

Nope, just Wii games and GameCube games.Can the Wii play DVD CD's?

You can however watch videos off of SD cards, if they're in the right format.
heeeey waait wait wiat, don't think its not possible, you just have to know how to install homebrew (modchips, u know, just as in ds) and then you can place all kinds of homebrew into the wii, including tons of dvd-players (since its very easyto make 1). I dunno why nintendo hasnt made one yet (???) if even homebrew developers claim it to be really easy, and they've proven it.

Who Do You Own With in Melee?
Yeah I guess you can tell by my avatar, sheik.Next Top:SamusDoctor MarioI think it's interesting because every character can be good and its cool to see who other players choose..Who Do You Own With in Melee?
Roy as my #1 and then Kirby.Who Do You Own With in Melee?
Link and Samus. I prefer to be good with one character than being average with all of them.
shouldnt this be in the gamecube forum??? anyway.....marth
[QUOTE=''01lpfan10'']shouldnt this be in the gamecube forum??? anyway.....marth[/QUOTE] indeed..BTW i own with ganondorf
I own with Yoshi, then Link and then DK/SAMUS (tie)
I'm great with most everybody because I never pick the same character twice. I really suck with the power characters such as Bowser, Gannondorf, DK, Capt. Falcon and the lot. I prefer the speedier characters, even though they don't dish out much damage.
I am actually really good with Mewtwo, I hope they keep him as a character for brawl... But back on the N64, Kirby was a God!
Marth I OWN.
i own with fox
Luigi. you can't stop the green man.
I own with Marth and Link
Samus for sure.
My fluffy little pink buddy Kirby! Though they sure weakened him since the old N64 Kirby, i hope he atleast gets better in Brawl
Zelda/Sheik and KirbyAfter those two: Ice climbers, Peach, Samus, Luigi and Jiglypuff.
Dr. Mario indeed. I'm also pretty good with the Ice Climbers and Peach. Oh and nothing like getting by an electric rat :p
Strictly Marioi used to use Pikachu in 64 when pokemon was all the rage,
but secondary characters for me is either link on pikachu
Mario and Yoshi.
I'm best with Link. I can't beat three level nine CPU's with any combination of characters just not all on a team against me.
me ganandorf, but my friend murders with jiggly puff, yeah jiggly pufffacial

I got Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Gam ...
I finally got my copy today this afternoon, it's a pretty fun game. The controls respond well to each event but some events take a little more time getting used to like the Aquatics for example, I seem to have a bit of trouble performing the swimming motions for some reason. Athletics is very fun, the Track and Field events are some of my favorites especially the Hammer Throw. Once you get the motions and timing down the events become a lot easier though I didn't have too much trouble to begin with for most of the events. I also really enjoy Gymnastics which features the Trampoline and Shooting which features Skeet. Fencing and Table Tennis are pretty fun too but my least favorite event would have to be the Aquatics just because I've had the most difficulty with it so far but that may change once I get more practice in. Not all of the events are unlocked when you first start the game though, there are quite a few to unlock.There's a Single Match Mode which is pretty much likea practice mode, you can choose one event to compete in and once it's finished you can do it over or choose a new event. You can also earn Medals in this mode and set new Olympic Records and World Records. There's a Circuit Mode, which so far only features Beginner's Class and Free Circuit, you have to unlock the rest. In Beginner's Circuit there are 4 circuits, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn with one to unlock and each circuit featuresthree events to compete in. There's a Mission Mode which lets you choose any character you want and each character hassix events,four at first withtwo to unlock. There's a Gallery which has Olympic Trivia, Modern Olympic Games, Beijin 2008, Ancient Olympic Games and About Athletes. And there's also Records which features Records, Rankings and Collections. On Rankings it uses Wi-Fi. You can choose an event and then see a list of the Top 30 players or you can choose to see Near My Records if you're not in the Top 30, you can also Udate Rankings at any time just by clicking on the Update button.There's also a good selection of characters, 16 in all. Eight from Mario and eight from Sonic. They each have their own strengths and weaknesses. There's four different sets of characters, Power Type, All-Around, Speed Type and Skill Type and eachset has four characters. Knuckles, Bowser, Vector and Wario are Power. Mario, Amy, Luigi and Blaze are All-Around. Sonic, Daisy, Shadow and Yoshi are Speed. And Peach, Tails, Waluigi and Eggman are Skill. You can also use Mii's but for some reason it only lets you choose from six pre-selected ones instead of actual Mii's you created. I didn't notice at first because I only briefly selected the Mii option, but when I went back to it later I realized that you can infact select any Mii that you've created as well. I thought I should edit this part rather then make a new post and correct myself so people who read this don't get the wrong information.All in all I'd have to say that this is a definite purchase especially if you like Mario and Sonic or if you just like Mini Games. It's definitly the best Mini Game collection on Wii so far next to Mario Party 8. The events are fun and don't get too repetative. There's definitly a lot of play time to be had especially with the Rankings being updated daily, you can always try to break new records. And if you have four friends over that's even better. There's a good selection of characters and a descent amount of events, 24 in all I think. I recommend this game to anyone, especially people who have doubts about it. Even if you just rent it you should give it a try. I give Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 8.5 out of 10.I got Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Gam ...
Is it online?I got Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Gam ...
[QUOTE=''Haligonian_Wii''] Is it online?[/QUOTE]It only uses Wi-Fi for updating the Daily Rankings for records. I don't believe you can play against other people online.
so what would you rate it?
8.5
Cool, glad to hear good impressions for it.
8.5 is a very respectable score. Thanks for writing up the impressions.

I guess someone said that maybe the experience of one gamer is far better than 100 critics, unless a real gamer tell you how it is the game, then you should keep you mind open as far as opinions and reviews. If you say that the game is good and not only FAIR i believe you.
you should write a reader review for it on GS
Yeah, i think thats a better review than gs... i'm gonna get it... eventually.
GS gave it a 6.0. I'm sure they were just waiting to rip this game...lol. I'm indifferent towards the game. I may rent it for the kids.

Is it online?I got Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Gam ...
[QUOTE=''Haligonian_Wii''] Is it online?[/QUOTE]It only uses Wi-Fi for updating the Daily Rankings for records. I don't believe you can play against other people online.
so what would you rate it?

Mario and Sonic - 6.0
I was wrong. :|http://www.gamespot.com/wii/sports/mariosonicattheolympicgames/review.html?sid=6182587Hehe... oh boy.Mario and Sonic - 6.0
It's Sonics fault, all his games have sucked since they moved to 3DMario and Sonic - 6.0
[QUOTE=''Grantelicious'']It's Sonics fault, all his games have sucked since they moved to 3D[/QUOTE]
Gamerankings scores:
Sonic Adventure-87%
Sonic Adventure 2-84%
Sonic Heroes-74%
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle-72%
Sonic and the Secret Rings-71%
Generalize much?
*Looks at score again* I was very wrong. :|Anyway, other reviewers seem positive(IGN, Game Informer). I think I'll still pick this game up.
LOL omg thats funny theres Sonic fanbois lol.
Once agian aron thomes and his bad review scores.I always hated this guy but guess what iam still buyin it. But iam tie to other games right now so it will have to wait.
And GS screws up another review
[QUOTE=''Grantelicious'']LOL omg thats funny theres Sonic fanbois lol.[/QUOTE]
Gamerankings?
Gamerankings is a site that takes the average of every major review source.
So you're accusing the entire gaming media of being Sonic fanboys?

[QUOTE=''Erinaceus1991'']It's Sonics fault, all his games have sucked since they moved to 3DShut the hell up. That is all I am going to say to such a dumbf!%26kas you.[/QUOTE]How is it Sonic's fault?It has Mario in it so at it's very worst it was bound to be as good as any oth the other ridiculous Mario spin- off games.
I, personally, have the game and completely disagree with Eron Thomas(or whatever the hell his name is, i don't give a damn). The controls respond great and are very different one game to another. Everyone this guy says in his review is wrong. If you are thinking of buying this game, look at the player reviews which are for the most over 8.5. If you want a review that's not half-ass go see IGNs, they prove some decent points like the game not having multiplayer vs.The game is so fun and challenging and it makes you get really tired (probably why fat-ass gamespot reviewers don't like it), but in a good way. Trying to beat the world records and the records of real people is so fun and challenging.
I wish Nintendo had handled it. When I heard that Sega was heading the development my hype for the game dropped almost completely. I'll rent it though, as the IGN review was pretty positive.
First of all, why do you people all trust ProGame Reviewers like IGN and Gamespot when player reviews are just as good and are usually a lot more accurate because it's based on many reviews of people with different opinions and not based on one guy that may just have not liked the game, in this case Eron.Secondly, I like how Gamespot uses 'you' in their review all the time as if they are in our minds or know that we will like the game or not. Like ''Even if you aren't having trouble with an event, you probably won't have much fun--unless you enjoy waving your arms to pretend that you're running''. Like if he knows exactly what we think about the game. And people that are saying Nintendo should have handled it, not all Nintendo games are good, especially the Mario sports games spin-offs and Mario Partys (P.S. this game is a lot more fun than Mario Party 8 and uses the movement alot better). But this game, even if it is Sega, is very good. Don't let yourself get controlled by reviewers who have their own opinions.
Lol, it's funny you know, how we all praise GS when they review Galaxy and how we all want to beat the hell out to Eron, but, well... this is GS and they know what they're doing, anyway i still believe that this game is good, to be honest i expect at least a 7.5, i mean after their preview they sound happy with the game, so...how they can change their mind now that the game is out? guess we'll never know.

SEGA has been one of the best third party developers on the Wii.
Super Monkey Ball and Sonic are two of the most highly-rated third party Wii games. Mario and Sonic is getting good scores elsewhere, and Ghost Squad and NiGHTS are looking good too.

[/QUOTE]the game is really fun they completely unerrated it. giving a6.0 is way overboard.
Honestly, I thought as much. Sonic has really taken a fall since Dreamcast. I think they should just stop making Sonic games...
