By Mrs. Stacey EASTON (London, UK)
I found the Donkey Kong game to be fun and immensly enjoyable to play. My son loves it, and took great joy in showing me all the fun moves he could do. Just more Nintendo fun.

 "Kids love it!" 2009-07-25
By G. S. Walker
The kids saw this game advertised and wanted it straight away, since they have it they enjoy it very much. Only flaw is that it is one player.

Good graphics, good sound, worth the money.

 "Lots of fun" 2009-07-12
By Emmett Byrne (Dublin)
I found the game very easy to control and it was great fun learning the new moves and discovering new parts of the game when I was progressing through it. The controls are very simple and even my young nephew was able to pick up the controls and was soon playing away.



Beautiful graphics, great characters and fun gameplay put this game up he quality of any of the Mario and Sonic titles I feel.

 "Fun and rather addictive" 2009-07-05
By HooterFM (UK)
You'll find yourself playing this at any spare moment, it really is fun.

What you do:

+ You collect bananas and do multiple combos to grab them from inside bubbles.

+ You jump on the backs of the enemies and give them a big old *DOOF* on the head.

+ After each level go to the banana room and try to eat as many as possible for bounus points.

+ Jump up walls and spring from a dandelion to a mushroom to the bunch of bananas at the end.

+ Save various kingdoms with DONKEY KONG!



Thats about it, but believe me, this is a fantastic addition to the Wii family.

 "Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (Wii)" 2009-06-09
By S. Randhawa (UK)
Would have given it three and a half stars if option was there.

Not a bad game. Quite liked the gameplay but it seems a bit outdated because of the 2d scren scrolling action. The kids however both loved it and they are aged 11 to 14. Enough in it to warrant buying if yoy can get it at a good price as there is a lot to occupy you. Just don't expect too much as this title seems as it has warped 20 years into the future!!!

 "Great OLD SKOOL fun !!!" 2009-05-31
By decoded (united kingdom)
If you are expecting Mario Galaxy graphics, you will be greatly disapointed. If you are happy with good old 2D graphics that are just a bit better than a Mega Drive then keep reading. Yes, this game is a good old fashioned platformer brought into the year 2000. It doesn't try to do anything new, but just keep the fun of the old 2D games.



The idea of the game is to hunt for treasure and coins so you are able to purchase the new levels. The treasures can be difficult to locate but this adds great replay value.



The wii-mote is turned horizontally in this game and only the d-pad and buttons are required and obviously the 'shake' motion sensors.



Kids will love this game as they frantically shake the controller to make Wario check the money bags for loot. The motion sensor is also used for other things like aiming and controlling vehicles.



I have to also mention the great soundtrack which blends in perfectly with each level.



The only reason I have not given a 5 star rating is the graphics. The playability is brilliant, but for a modern console Ninty should be aiming more for the next-gen look.



I highly recommend this game if you can pick it up under £20.00.

 "Game game dun for all the family!" 2009-05-04

 "Fun but too easy." 2008-11-26
By J. Pike (Guernsey, Channel Islands)
Looks and plays like a dream.



The down side is it's difficulty level. It is too easy.



The chances of your character dying are remote. You could probably go make a cup of tea half way through a level and only lose one bar from your life.



If you want a challenge find something else.

 "Worse Mario Game I've played" 2009-08-13
By D. Mingay (UK)
I have played pretty much played every Mario Game (certainly every "platform" game) since the original Mario Bros - Before they were Super. In terms of playability this is by far the worst. There is so much pointless waffle (they call it a story) during and before the game even starts I just got bored! The gameplay just isn't there to warrant it.



If you compare it to Mario Galaxy - there is now comparison. Shoddy graphics - even the "3D" isn't really 3D as Mario is still in 2D. The constant having to flip between characters is rather irritating.



I was really looking forward to this game - alas it was a waste of money. I've since traded it for something else.



Overall really do not waste your money on this game - it's not worth it.



I am a serious Mario fan, and didn't write this review lightly!

 "Paper mario wii" 2009-07-29
By C. Sangrado (London)
This is a fantastic game. very addictive. it has a similar concept as the other ones but yet very different. if your a fan of mario or not it is a very good buy.

 "Not as the original...ok gaming.." 2009-06-01
By Carolina.' Trini ' (U.K)
I was having such high expectations of the game as I really loved the old version of super mario, the game as good but very difficult to play as I could not get past a certain level which I have given up on.

The game also has too mush talking and reading in it and not enough gaming time.



The 3d play in the game is very good and the little helper magical butterfly, that was an excellent improvement.

The game could get you playing for hours, when you get home from work etc.. (if you have that much time).



A must buy as it is super mario, even if you don't like the game that much its one for the collection.

 "A very enjoyable paper weight, role playing adventure game." 2009-05-27
By Dragonlord (Cornwall)
Super Paper Mario is a an rpg/platformer. Paper Mario doesn't have the depth of a Zelda game but it does have lots of cool ideas which make it fun. One of the best things is the way you can flip from 2D into 3D, which you need to do for navigating your way around the levels and solving puzzles. Overall Super Paper Mario is a fun quirky adventure game with plenty of Nintendo magic, but it's a bit easy and isn't as good as Mario Galaxy or Zelda (then not many games are).

 "Fun, funny and addictive!!" 2009-04-11
By Prof. Plum
I bought this game when I bought the console and played it until completion. It has puzzle elements, thankfully not too easy and not too difficult but challenging nonetheless. It has platform and boss elements. The seven levels in the game are imaginative and the home planet is delightful- colourful, funny characters and much to explore. You have to play a platform type game with a 3D view option which you need to finish or achieve certain tasks. The other Mario characters join you as you progress on your quest and their unique abilities are needed for different levels, sub-levels and you even find you need to change character within some individual screens. This may sound complicated but the controls are easy with no bad camera angles. Collecting items, potions and powers is an addictive aspect to the game but the most addictive parts are when you get stuck and try and try to progress. Try it!

 "Not as good as other Mario games" 2009-08-09
By kdog (uk)
I was really looking forward to getting this game as I have played the DS version with some friends. In most cases the wii version is by far the best however I thought the Ds version was a lot better than this.



This isn't really the kind of game you can pick up and play- if you want to do the main game the minimum time it can take is 1 hour.



Basically you play with 3 other players(either wii remotes or computers) and travel round a board to try and reach stars. At the end of each players turn you play a mini game to try and earn coins. The mini games are quite fun and you have to do all sorts of different things such as sports, cooking and even painting. If you like the games I would recommend Rayman Raving Rabbit which is more fun.

 "Don't buy this!" 2009-06-07
By J. Holdsworth (uk)
My husband and I lasted an hour playing this and though it was the slowst most tedious game ever. There are not lots of things to do. Esentailly there are five mild varieties of the same tedious board game. Please don't waste your money, we just did and are most disgruntled as a result!

 "Great fun for all ages" 2009-03-09
By Simon Thomas (Gloucester, UK)
At first, the concept of each game style can be difficult (often frustrating) to grasp, but once you get into it, good clean fun will be had by all.



Probably better suited to the younger age range and parents who wish to play along, this game is easy to pick up and not really physically (or mentally) demanding, which makes for a relaxed game experience.



It's essentially a hybrid of monopoly and snakes-and-ladders with mini games (1-2 minutes each) in between each round of turns to keep you on your toes.



Very good fun, recommmended.

 "Mario Party 8 - ok but not as good as mario kart" 2009-02-27
By J. James (England)
I brought this for my son for his birthday after reading pretty good reviews about it. I don't feel it is as good as some of the rave reviews I've read. Decent but average. My 2 older kids 13 and 11 seem to quite like it but I can tell after a few weeks its playtime will dwindle as I don't think it got enough about it to keep them hooked. Disappointing after Mario Kart maybe I was expecting too much as they entirely different games but I was going on fact it a Mario game again.

 "The Metroid Prime Trilogy - Good Idea, Mediocre Execution" 2009-10-02
By Garion Rudd (United Kingdom)
If, like me, you only caught onto the Metroid franchise because of the Prime trilogy, then this game has already piqued your interest. Be honest, who would not want three games for the price of one? If you were already a Metroid fan before Metroid Prime, going as far back as the original Metroid for the NES, then a 'collector's edition' of the trilogy would also seem like a worthy purchase. Anything to give you credibility amongst friends, I suppose.



In any instance, Metroid Prime Trilogy (hereafter dubbed as MPT) seemed a positive, if not unoriginal, means to further bestow the Prime series some 'wow' factor. Already acclaimed as the groundbreaking style for the Metroid games, it was also the most anticipated group of games to be expected on the GBC and Wii, aside from the usual Nintento hype over Smash Bros. or the like. Obviously when a trilogy finishes, you release them all over again but with greater convenience, right? Right. Lucas did it with the Star Wars, and that's exactly what Nintendo has done.



The controls for each game are in the format of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (MP3). That is, using the Wii remote and Nunchuk for Samus Aran's weapons and movement. This was used to great effect in MP3, as most of the enemies and puzzles required precision aiming with the remote, or intuitive grappling with the Nunchuk. Someone up in the Nintendo HQ saw these controls as good enough to be used for the first and second Metroid Prime games. Upon playing these games with the wii controls, when I'd already played the originals with the Gamecube controller, I had to agree. It is a lot more fun to move the remote when aiming rather than simply using a shoulder button as in the originals. What the controls gain in ingenuity, however, they lack in any practical use. For one, all you need to do in MP1 and MP2 is lock on and shoot. None of the enemies have specific areas to fire at with the Wii remote, as they do in MP3. This lack of using the controls effectively seems to make it more of a gimmick than a 'new concept'.



On the plus side, MPT has kept all of the unlockable extras and bonuses that were in the original games, and has made them available through the collection of 'credits' that were, again, first introduced in MP3. This is especially good news for those of us (and me) who missed out on some extras, such as the Fusion suit for MP1, which was only available through linking up to the GBA game Metroid Fusion. Playing through MP1 with the Fusion suit was an added bonus for me, as I had not done that with the original game.



A further addition to the trilogy is multiplayer, which was pioneered in MP2. Friends can now fight each other as various colours of Samus using the Wii controls, which adds another element of fun to the game. The only downside to the multiplayer is that there is no online gaming. It would have been interesting to see people play multiplayer Metroid over Wi-fi, but sadly Nintendo have taken 'keeping the games exactly the same' a little too far.



Expanding on that point, all of the Prime games are exactly the same as the original releases. Or so it is claimed. Upon playing through the trilogy, I noticed that the time spent waiting for doors to open was slashed considerably. In the originals, waiting for a door to open signaled loading time for the game. The wii considerably speeds up the loading times for MP1 and MP2, both of which were on the technologically-challenged Gamecube.



The trilogy comes in a collector's edition. For those expecting radical new extras, prepare to be disappointed. The only 'radical' extra that is plainly visible is the shiny box the game case resides in. Also, you need look no further than the blurb on the first page of the instruction manual to find the only other extra. The Concept and Art insert. The flimsy little foldout booklet behind (or often in front of) said instruction manual. While it does contain some interesting art from the game, it also has a synopsis of the trilogy storyline. Even if you've only barely skimmed through the games, you would know a lot more than the synopsis reveals, and it would also be a lot more accurate. Putting it a different way, even Wikipedia would have done a better job at summarising the plot.



Metroid Prime Trilogy is a recommended purchase for any aspiring Metroid fan, be they hardcore or retro. Ignoring any bonus features promised, the game provides an enjoyable playing experience with the luxury of reliving the entire Prime series, bonuses and all.

 "Great Games Get Better !!" 2009-09-29
By Mr. DJ Rendell (Mansfield Uk)
Firstly the fact that you are getting three games is a plus in its self as where else could you get three full games for the price of one game ? Having owned Metriod Prime on the gamecube and have played Metriod Prime 2 i already knew they were quality games. What makes them so much better here is the inclusion of Metriod Prime 3 wii controls that are one of the best first person contol schemes for any console!! All three games contain good storylines and lots of gameplay to keep you playing. Another neat feature is that the collectables system from 3 (where you are rewarded tokens in game and can give tokens to people on your friends list) has been included in 1 and 2. Now all that is needed to make the Metriod Prime series complete would be a wii remake of Metriod Prime Hunter on the ds.

 "Great games, great value" 2009-09-28
By Matteo Bocchi
This compilation contains three games: Metroid Prime, Metroid prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

The first two games have been released on the Nintendo gamecube quite some years ago, while Corruption has been released for the Nintendo Wii just a couple years ago or so.



Since all the games have been released already, it is important to review what is new.



Nothing has changed in Metroid prime 3: Corruption, as far as I can tell.

Regarding Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, the obvious big difference is in the control scheme, which takes advantage of the Wii remote to aim on screen. The result is honestly great. There are three control settings, and I advise to play with the professional-advanced settings, which are very responsive and really a blast to play with.

Controls are very tight and the whole experience is really enhanced by the quality of them.

There are some graphics enhancements to the 2 games: specifically the inclusion of 16/9 support and progressive scan.

These cosmetic changes are welcome, and round up a presentation of the compilation which is really good.

The graphics of the first two games appear to be crisp and very nice, although I can spot a general feeling of low resolution texture mapping here and there. The 3rd episode on the other hand solves this problem and looks technically amazing.

But forget the number of poligons or the texture effects. Tech is great, but here, all the three games deliver an artistic view, where attention to details is really the amazing point.



If you never played any of the titles in the compilation, this is really the best way to enjoy one of the best games of all time (Metroid Prime), plus its incredibly good sequels.

If you played already one or more of the games, consider that the new controls are so good that in my opinion it is worth playing the games again.



Three amazing games for the price of one is really a great value, especially when the games share this level of quality.

This compilation is really recommended.

 "Great games, great deal...mostly" 2009-09-23
By Mark Lockett (Manchester)
No doubt about it, these are great games and if you have not played them, this is a bargain pack. Amongst the best First Person shooter games on the Wii (Resident Evil 4 is still tops for me)and I consider the Wii THE best console for playing FPS games, despite its lack of power. The game controls on Corruption are damn near perfect, not quite, but close.



In my opinion, combat, at least in Corruption, is a little boring at times, enemies that take dozens and dozens of hits to kill zooming around at lightspeed is okay now and then, but when they do it with almost every boss, and some others, it gets a bit old after a while. - Too much button-bashing and not enough strategy, but the game is a whole lot more than just combat. Puzzles and exploring galore!



Shame all those who supported this series coming to the Wii by buying Metroid prime corruption, when it first came out, now have to buy it again to get the whole collection.

 "AWESOME ON GAMECUBE ... EVEN MORE AWESOME NOW" 2009-09-20
By ALEX
Having played METROID PRIME 1&2 on GameCube and then playing MP 3 on the Wii , I jumped at the chance to replay MP 1&2 using the Wii-mote and I was NOT disappointed , the new controls are totaly awesome and they definitely draw you / the player more into the game , also the graphics /lighting has been enhanced and all 3 games look & play out of this world.



Only thing that I was a bit disappointed about was that NINTENDO of AMERICA released the game in the USA packaged in the collectors edition STEELBOOK / TIN CASE , where-as here in the good old UK we got the collectors edition in the NORMAL PLASTIC CASE packaging , go to YOUTUBE and look up a MP TRILOGY collectors edition UNBOXING vid and you'll see that the TIN CASE looks amazing it's VERY VERY COOL indeed , that small gripe aside this MP TRILOGY deal is probably the gamers BEST BUY of the CENTURY , all 3 games on 1 disc for under £40 is SIMPLY a NO BRAINER , its a MUST HAVE BUY for lovers of the MP franchise or Wii owners in general , even if you already own all 3 games you must still buy the trilogy coz you'll love the experience of playing through MP1&2 using the Wii-Mote.
