^ oh and earlier you were talking about the IGN rating...

To be honest, the price you pay for the game considering it comes with the wiimote is worth it imo.

on a side note...


DO NOT GOĦ@TO EB GAMES for price match
gayest thing ever, so last weekend gf's bro told me to help him buy NBA 2k7 for his 360 while i go out. So i did..i asked the EB guy how much it was..he said $69.99, and i was thinking there is no way its this expensive. So i went over to Wal-mart right beside it (lougheed mall) they are selling for $44.86! but because i have some gay credits left from EB i wanted to get rid of it. ˘×told the guy at EB to price match it, he said no way in hell they are doing tat unless u have a receit, or fliers. I said wal-mart dont do fliers on games, wat about website? he laughed at me again sayin website dont mean shit, anyone can hack into the website and make their OWN price..i was thinking wtf..so i had to go thru the hassel going to Wal-mart to purchase the god damn thing and come back to EB to show the motherfucker, and he looked at the receit in DOUBT...mumble some shit and price matched but didnt beat it by 10% (realized after i went home) or else the price should be $30 dollar difference! than i had to go back to Wal-mart and return the game...bunch of bullshit tatz for sure

EDIT: Hondaracer

the game consists of guessing the look alike miis, table tennis, virtual tennis? sth like tat, fishin game (gay), old school tanks (not bad ) , target shooting games, and some other BS


basically u are buying for the extra wii remote, if they didnt come with the wii remote their sales will be completely garbage...after finished playing this game i get a feeling this is definitely a demo game tat should;ve came with the Wii... now they tryin to make a profit by selling it separetely...
EB games

The Games

* Table Tennis - This game is, essentially, a game of Pong, rallying back and forth by moving the Wii remote. The Mii characters are supported, and are represented by the audience. As the game progresses, the audience grows larger. The player controls the position of their paddle with the Wii remote pointer, no swing or hit motion is used though ball direction can be altered slightly by moving the remote left or right while hitting the ball. Bottom spin can also be added by swinging the remote down quickly before hitting the ball.

* Laser Hockey - Played like air hockey, this is a two player game where the players move the Wii remote to deflect shots and try to score in the opponents goal. Aiming with the Wii remote moves the rectangular paddle around the field, while twisting the Wii remote can angle the paddle to deflect shots in any direction. According to developers, the physics engine used to calculate the velocity and position of the shots is extremely advanced, with Shigeru Miyamoto even stating that it rivaled the Havok physics engine in its realism.

* Fishing - Players use the Wii remote as a fishing rod, to hook specific paper fish and then yank upwards to grab them. The Wii remote pointer is used to move the rod around, downward and upward motions sink/raise the fishing hook in and out of the water. Different points are added and subtracted depending on the fish caught. A display at the top of the screen shows which fish gives bonus points if caught, and changes every 30 seconds or so.

* Find Mii - Crowds of Mii characters will gather on the screen (standing, swimming, walking and doing other things) and the player is given certain details to look for among them. The player then must pick out the proper Miis that matches the objective. The objectives range from picking two or three Miis that are identical, to picking the fastest Mii, or the odd Miis out (doing things that other Miis aren't).

* Pose Mii - A player must move his Mii to falling bubbles using the Wii remote pointer. The player must also rotate his Mii to the correct angle of the bubble by rotating the Wii remote. In addition to this, as the game progresses, the poses inside the bubbles change, and the player must select the correct pose (out of 3 total). When a Mii is correctly posed in a bubble, it bursts. If a bubbles is not burst and it eventually falls to the floor, the game is over. In the two player game, each player has different coloured bubbles, but they may pop each other`s bubbles for extra points.

* Shooting - Players go through various rounds of shooting balloons, targets, clay pigeons, cans and UFOs. There are targets that have the faces of the player's Mii's which give points when the opponent's Mii is shot. Ducks drawn in the style of the ducks from Duck Hunt also occasionally fly by.

* Billiards - Players play 9 Ball Billiards like traditional pool games. Players line up their shot in both an overhead 2D and behind-the-ball style 3D viewpoints. They may aim for contact on the cue ball at any point to add spin or bounce or a weird angle. They pull the cue stick (Wii remote) backwards, then hit it forward to launch the ball.

* Charge! - The player rides a cow by holding the Wii Remote sideways, and topples scarecrows to score points. The Wii Remote is also tilted forward to increase speed, and backward to decrease speed. The player must also jump barriers by jolting the Wii remote upwards as if jumping.

* Tanks! - This game uses the Wii Remote D-pad (or nunchuk attachment) to move a tank about the screen. The player aims on a target and fires shells. Shells can rebound off walls once. Mines can also be placed (by pressing the A button) that destroy all tanks within a certain radius. The aim of the game is to destroy enemy tanks while avoiding being destroyed yourself. There are 20 misions (stages) initialy but after achieving a gold medel by completing the first 20 missions, you may play through again to find that there are now 100 missions with more different types of enemy tanks to battle you way against. There is a multiplayer mode on this as you both play to gain the most kills but at the same time trying to get through the missions (if you both die then you end the game and your scores are added up) this makes the game more of a team based rivalry, both helping each other yet competing against each other at the same time. The further you progress the more variations in the enemy tanks are revealed, enemy tanks gain attributes like firing rockets, having the ability to lay mines, firing off more than one shot at a time, having multi-bounce fast rockets or even becoming invisible.

I Say Tanks is the best.

Yeah man. I remember not too long ago the people there are super nice and everything. I think getting 300 phone calls a day asking if any "whys" are in stock made them crazy or something.

They wouldn't even pm a futureshop game for me without proof the other day. It was 5 bucks off and the games been out for months. I bought it anyways cause I was lazy to walk to FS

I'm totally new to the whole Wii thing - my company bought one yesterday.

Today, I scored a Wii Play at the Bridgeport FutureShop. I happened to be checking their website around noon, when it only showed Kingsway had it in stock, but all of a sudden it showed Bridgeport with the checkmark, so I quickly drove out there, and the guy was like surprised how I knew they had it so fast. He had them stashed in a cabinet, and said he just got them in like five seconds ago.

I picked two copies of Wii Play tonight around 8:30pm at Cambie Bestbuy. I called in and they said they still had about 10 copies. When I got there I took 2 (1 for my friend and the other for myself) and there was 3 copies left. Playing Wii Play with my gf... cheap thrills...

LoL... same here, except I bought the Wii and my gf is hooked on it. I'm hoping for more fun multiplayer games so I could play with her. I already pre-order Mario Party, but looks like it won't come out till May

So I actually took my Wii on WiFi today, and was surprised to discover that there was a new channel that you could download on the Wii Shop Channel.

Called "Everybody Votes"... You have to download it from the Shop (it's free), and also install a system update to get it working

It's somewhat intriguing... Seems pretty useless at the moment though.
