Three years have passed since the Daein-Crimea war, where the mercenary Ike led the Crimean army todefeat Daein's mad King Ashnard. Both Daein and Crimea are still stabilizing after that war. Daein is ruled by the Begnion occupation forces, after Crimea relinquished rule over their defeated country, and they are oppressed by the imperial soldiers. In the first of the game's four parts, a group of chivalrous thieves, which includes fortune-teller Micaiah, fight Begnion's oppression and attempt to liberate Daein and bring back power to the royal family. The efforts of the Dawn Brigade are the beginning of a much larger conflict. In the next part, Crimea's Queen Elincia fights against conspiring nobles, who plot to overthrow her. The following part sees the Greil mercenaries assist the united Laguz army as they go to war with the Begnion Empire. The consequences of this war can be seen in the fourth and final part, where the Dawn Brigade and the Greil mercenaries join forces to defeat the Begnion senate and the threatening goddess of chaos high above at the Guiding Tower. ESRB Rated E10 for gamers aged 10 and up
Features:
Command the Dawn Brigade and learn the story of their struggle. Then, gain a new perspective by joining Ike and the Greil Mercenaries as they watch Daein's battles spread throughout all of Tellius.
Players can shape their armies to suit their strategy by choosing from dozens of unique characters. Should they use close-range attacks, like the brash Edward's sword, or attack from afar using Leonardo's bow or Ilyana's lightning magic?
Players can build support relationships between their characters; as their relationships grow, so do their strengths as they fight together on the battlefield. Players should guide their armies wisely, because if a character falls on the battlefield, he or she is lost forever.
The strategy title makes its Wii debut, with 16:9 widescreen support, newly added for the North American version, bringing a truly epic experience.

This review comes from a 40+ female gamer. This game is awesome! Hours were lost, I nearly missed work due to not sleeping and I felt it was shades of Animal Crossing circa 2004. I liked that the Sims look real (not cartoon characters) and the gathering of food, supplies and hyroglyphic pieces keeps you deeply engrossed! It never seems like a good time to quit, as any Sim needs your attention at any time. Saving your game on the high volcano bluff got frustrating though. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or just the fact that I built my catamaran and can actually leave the Island life now.?.? I also noticed myself taking better care of my Sims than myself! I skipped meals, showers and sleeping in order to keep playing! My usual game choices would be anything Zelda, Mario, Sim City, Harvest Moon, Animal Crosssing. If you have any interest in these listed, you'll probably enjoy this strategy game.

One day, an assassin named Helter Skelter appears before Travis and the two face off in a battle.

No More Heroes : Settings and Storyline Interview Wii
Need for Speed : Pro Street is a racing experience like no other. For the first time, you're designing and building a car, competing in iconic locations from around theglobe and battling in four distinct racing styles- grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge. The atmosphere is electric - complete with energetic crowds, photo-realistic vehicles and billowing smoke - all designed to embody the pressure and intensity of the gladiatorial challenge known as Show Down. Need for Speed ProStreet is the realization of the power, aggression and rivalry that embodies street racing culture.
NSF:Prostreet takes the race off the streets of the city and into a course/tournament style world. Does the theme ruin it? Not really, but it does make it a lot less fun/entertaining.
NSF:Prostreet doesn't quite live up to the expectations you may have from your NSF:Underground experiences. The steering control seems to have been improved from the initial Wii NSF:Underground release, but if you are hoping for a manual transmission... don't get your hopes up. Just make sure that you don't turn on any of the braking assistance as it makes the game far too easy.
The game centers around a tournament-style setting taking the fun of the previous "free roam" out of the picture. The selection of cars is great, but the customization options definitely don't live up to the Underground versions of the game.
The announcer in the game is probably the single worst-written and worst-casted role I have run across on the Wii so far. His annoying antics and over-the-top pop culture catch phrases make the game a "music only" choice. On that note... music is your general, expected EA choices and holds merely an average soundtrack.
For the NSF fans out there... it is fun, but it's not their best release. Personally, I am anxiously awaiting a return to the Underground world. I will finish the game, but overall I am disappointed.

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity for the Nintendo Wii Game From Sega of America, Inc.
The fan-favorite Sonic Riders series returns with a whole new form of chaotic racing by manipulating gravity itself! These gravity-alteringpowers can transform walls into tracks, or create a "black hole" that sucks you through for the ultimate speed boost, and allows for an entirely new way to gain a leg up on your competitors. From illuminated highways in a bustling metropolis to the outer reaches of space, you will race at the speed of light on 16 dynamic courses. Sixty different vehicles allow you to grind rails and pull off daring tricks on futuristic tracks, including solar loop-de-loops, height-defying vertical drops and tons of other edge-of-your-seat moves. As Sonic or one of 18 colorful characters, you will compete with up to three friends at heart-stopping speeds in three exciting multiplayer modes. With all the action, speed, and addictive game play that only Sonic can deliver, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is set for hyper-drive!
A couple of years ago, Sonic The Hedgehog returned with its own need for hedgehog speed. With the surprise success of Sonic Riders for the Gamecube, Sonic really showed that he could finally shred his way to victory and stay with the competition of racing classics like Mario Kart. That was then, this is now. With the Nintendo Wii being one of the most popular video game systems on the market right now, Sonic tried his luck with Sonic & The Secret Rings, but unfortunately he fizzled into thin air. That also happened with Sonic & The Hedgehog for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but that also worked. But with the Wii, Sonic has a lot to make up for this time, but does he deliver in Zero G again, or just a fall from grace?
Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity for the Nintendo Wii brings the surprising success of Sonic Riders from the Nintendo Gamecube in 2006, and tries to surf his way into victory. The gameplay doesn't seperate itself completely from the original. The game features 16 different courses, and faster gameplay, as you compete against others for the first time online with the Wi-Fi gameplay. The graphics look great and bring in a great appeal for fans, as well as the music. There are also a few control options that unfortunately lack in the gameplay. You can manuver Sonic, Tails and others with the Wii Remote which sadly makes the game a bit tougher to handle, as well as the control with the nunchuck controller too. Thankfully, there is another way. You can also use the Nintendo Gamecube controller as the third option, which works much better in the gameplay. There are several racers to unlock like Dr. Robotnik, Amy, and Kncukles, which you could through the Grand Prix and Story modes, but the story mode feels a little bit cocky as you play along with the game.
All in all, Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity isn't a bad game, but the mechanics of the Wii controller could've been easier to manuver. It is a good game for those who loved the original Sonic Riders, but it isn't a actual must buy for the Wii. If you're looking for a fast racer, I suggest you await for the upcoming Mario Kart Wii instead.
Features
Rack up Gravity Points through tricks and technical challenges and enter a zero-gravity environment with new Sonic abilities, like Gravity Control and Gravity Dive
You can switch up your vehicles, even in mid-race, to best suit your racing style. Transformations include a hover board, motorcycle and futuristic hovercraft, plus multiple options for upgrading ensure that no two vehicles will be the same. Depending on the vehicle upgrade, hidden routes may be uncovered, such as gliding on the air at the bottom of a valley, or riding through thick walls. Now, whether the terrain is waterway, highway or jungle, the action never slows down!
You can now air board on walls and pull gravity-defying tricks and even grind on cars that are floating in the zero-gravity environment. With these new moves, cornering becomes more intense and the pace is brought to heart-stopping speeds!

Is a game well-conceived when you take gameplay concepts from some of the highest-rated video games ever created and mish-mash them with the personalities found in a brand-new animated Disney film? Disney Interactive Studios' Meet the Robinsons just might be the first game to do that in a fashion that isn't a total flop-in fact, the audience for which Meet the Robinsons is aimed at should absolutely love this new video game.
Wilbur Robinson is up to his normal no-good rule-breaking lifestyle, using his father's time-traveling machine to check out ancient Egypt. Upon arrival back home in the future (after just slightly but harmlessly changing the past), the time machine is stolen by a sinister man in a bowler hat. It's up to Wilbur and his trusty Robinson Industries gadgets to find the Bowler Hat Guy and stop him in his tracks to recover the time machine. Since Wilbur isn't the film's central character, several parts of the game are unique and therefore aren't seen in the movie, but they fit well into the personality and style anyway.
With that said, Meet the Robinsons introduces about six main areas for players to explore while transmogrifying items and interacting with other Robinson characters. The gameplay works much like a third-person action/adventure title, with a strong resemblance to recent Legend of Zelda titles. Wilbur can lock onto targets, strafe around them, interact with objects with the press of a single action button, and jump when he reaches a ledge or gap. He can shoot at targets with gadgets that appear on an inventory selector that is very similar to those in the Zelda series. The main gadgets are pretty handy. There's the disassembler; this tool breaks down environmental objects for core materials that can be used to transmogrify objects. It also eliminates the armor or shields that some enemies might use. There's the Chargeball glove, which fires off a small ball of electric energy-this is Wilbur's primary attack, and it works pretty well. There's even a scanner that allows you to check out objects in the environment, Metroid Prime-style.
Unfortunately, some control-related issues arise, especially on Nintendo Wii. The camera and targeting reticle are both controlled with the Wii remote, so players might begin to rest their hands while playing and find Wilbur staring at the ground or turning around in circles. The targeting system doesn't work very well at all. In fact, it works badly, to be kind. For example, if Wilbur is locked onto an enemy security robot, the targeting reticle is still loose and controllable, it's not actually "locked on." This means that, if locked onto an enemy, you can (and probably will) still shoot at harmless walls or objects in the background while pesky surveillance robots sound alarms and summon more security robots for you to destroy. Wii players might want to take a few decimals off of my final score, just for the camera frustrations. Fortunately for non-Wii players, the camera is controlled with the right analog stick, which is a lot more familiar and less awkward.
Does this mean that Meet the Robinsons isn't fun to play? No! The game actually has some switch-based puzzles that the younger audience will enjoy, as they're much less complicated than those found in games like Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Most puzzles also have an element of timing: there are energy-based floors that can be activated in the Robinson basement level, and Wilbur has to quickly make his way to solid ground before the energy floors disappear and render him a victim to gravity and a deadly pit below. Speaking of deadly pits and anything deadly whatsoever, Meet the Robinsons is an easy game even without its simpler puzzles. Don't expect the enemies found in the game to pose much of a threat, they're quickly dispatched with Robinson tools. Wilbur never really dies either, and there is hardly a Game Over screen. If his health is completely drained, he'll simply restart at the entrance of the current room with a full amount of health. This will surely turn away experienced gamers (if the game's ties to a Disney movie already hadn't), but kids will certainly welcome the forgiving difficulty.
There are a few things to do other than run around disassembling objects and shooting robots; Wilbur's Chargeball glove is actually used for a futuristic competitive game called Chargeball. Mix air hockey and dodgeball and you've got something similar to Chargeball. Wilbur squares off with one opponent, and the two exchange Chargeball blasts at each others' protective barriers that cover a goal. When the barriers are broken, the player can throw a Chargeball into the goal and score a point. Most games only require a few points to be scored, but they're a fun distraction. There's also a mini-game where Wilbur hops into a big ball and rolls around a track-beating the record time took me two or three tries, and it was definitely entertaining enough to be a worthwhile distraction. It's too bad that neither of the mini-games feature any sort of multiplayer (sadly there is no multiplayer, period) but they definitely occupy some time anyway. There's also a fair amount of objects to be found in the game's levels-collectible action figures, secret blueprints for transmogrification purposes (think alternate costumes and wacky cheat codes), and more.
Meet the Robinsons is actually a nice-looking movie-based game, one that takes all of the style of the subject matter and recreates it virtually in an expert form. None of the game's cinemas use the CG animation used in the film; Avalanche Software actually created clips with the in-game engine that look very nice. Sure, the particle effects and texture details aren't top-notch, but they definitely met my expectations. The voice acting is also very nice, featuring the movie's cast (hello, Adam West). What confused me, though, was the strange lack of pauses between lines of spoken dialogue. One character will start babbling just after another finishes, leaving absolutely no time for the player to think about what is being said. It makes the dialogue run much faster and actually seem a bit more life-like, in some cases, but there are others where pauses between speech would have seemed more realistic. Also, the sound effects are noticeably underwhelming, if not muffled.
All that said, Meet the Robinsons is a surprisingly capable game that will make the audience it is aimed at very happy. It's a Zelda clone that has terrific production values and all of the film's personality. It never came across as some cash-cow scheme for Disney to make more boatloads of money on Meet the Robinsons merchandise-it actually appears that Avalanche Software wanted to create a good movie-based game. What more could a kid want?

ESRB rated E10 for players aged 10 and up.
This game is very fun, and somewhat resembles the show. You have to move the remote and the nunchuk as the icons come up on the screen in the direction they tell you to move it (the remote or nunchuk) in. You also have to do gestures, such as the twist. At the end of each dance, the judges give you comments and give you your scores. This game is very good, though it is hard at first to get your hands moving the right way. You can play on two modes, amateur or professional, which makes the game longer. My friend and I also had lots of fun playing cooperatively on multiplayer. On multiplayer, you may also go head-to-head. Overall, I thought that this game was really fun. Features
