    Just because it may have literally contained some rioting it didn't make it any more fun to play. It was awful! Possibly one of the worst games I've ever played!

    I'm going to go agains the popular opinion here and say that I quite enjoyed it. OK, so the main game was a bit naff, but the mode where you just had to kill everything that moved (100 people per level) was quite good fun. It was quite a good party game as I used to play it with a few mates and try and beat each others times.

    It doesn't stand up too well these days though.

    Umbrella Chronicles has thus failed to restore my confidence in my Wii, it's quite fun, the graphics are quite nice, but the gun is all over.

    At first I played with a Nyko Perfect Shot it was OK but I found the set up a bit arse, I assumed the game was set up to play only with the Wii Zapper, even after arsing around with the controls.

    I only just realised about an hour or so ago after trying to play it with the awful $5 shooter gun that I got before the perfect shot that you can set it up to play with the Perfect shot quite well using the nunchuk as the buttons I was having probs with a day or so ago.

    I'm now pissed off though as since the game gives you all the Wii Zapper bullshit at the start I assumed that was how it was set up. and after looking at the controls briefly assumed I was screwed. So played it with the Wiimote. After getting used to playing it like that it's now hard to get used to the zapper set up how I would originally liked it.

    After getting it set up how I "would" have liked it I have realised that the gun calibration is complete and utter fucking worthless septic knob drip bollocks shit cock arse wank, how the hell are you supposed to play a gun game when the annoying cross hair is 6 inches below where you're pointing the fucking gun???????

    I can't find a gun calibration, maybe I'm mental but if there isn't one Capcom need a kick in the fucking teeth for ruining what could have been an excellent game, instead it's annoying, especially when you're aiming at something using the gun as you would on any other gun game that works fine but yet your crosshair is bugger all near where you're aiming it? So I figure I have to be shorter or taller, or crouch on the floor or stand on the sofa to get my aim right?

    Potentially brilliant game ruined by shit controls, it's bad when a gun game is easy to play with the wiimote and IMPOSSIBLE WITH A GUN?

    i hope natal for the 360 will be used for gun games where you can use any type of gun. it's suppose to recognise body movement so it can't be too hard for it 'see' where you are pointing a toy gun.

    as for my wii, its gathering dust.

    not that i hate the system, just can't find any games, which is a pain as i loved the n64, the cube, and my ds.

    Yup I haven't owned a Nintendo since the SNES and I'm slowly beginning to wonder if I should've bothered at all with the Wii? I've always enjoyed playing other peoples Nintendos over the years, but I'm at a bit of a loose end with mine. Everything is too expensive or sucks dick!

    That's why my PS2 has came out of retirement :D

    You'll let me know if they manage to get Natal handling that won't you? I'll be ordering a 360 the very second it can...

    It'd make playing GTA that much more real... :lol:

    I just found the game to be too hard. I started to play on normal, but got as far as the level 2 boss and it walked all over me. So, a couple of weeks ago, I started again on easy and the same thing happened. I can get to the second level boss and it's like hitting a brick wall. I looked it up online and almost everyone is saying that the game is designed to be played in two player as most of the bosses are near impossible with just one player. I'll probably never load it up again and I'm not going anywhere near the second game :(

    Star Wars Galaxies.

    One of the most anticipated games....turned out to be absolute toss...and I paid out $80 for the collectors edition.

    That's odd, as I finished the game fairly easily on single player and don't recall any issues with the early bosses; there are some tough ones later on, but it's just a case of getting the right strategy with them. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of walkthrough videos for it on YouTube if you keep getting stuck; just seeing that it can be done ought to get you through most of it.

    As far as light-gun games on the Wii go, I think you're always going to be better off using the Wii-mote than anything else as it's the one controller that the developers are going to make sure works properly. With the Zapper just being a shell that you stuff it into, I'd suspect that there's very little work that goes into optimizing games for it and third party guns are likely to get even less support.

    Another game was 'Ghost Recon' on the xbox. I think it was part of the Rainbow 6 series. The graphics and gameplay were fine but 1 shot and you were dead. It was too realistic! I gave up after a while. That was twenty quid wasted!

    Golden Balls (DS)
    Deal or No DEAL (DS)

    Both absolutly dire.
  • edited February 2010
    Surely no-one could pitch a Deal or No Deal game with a straight face, unless it had a "drop someone to their death from a crane on live TV" minigame.

    EDIT: That gives me an idea for the crap games compo! Eureka!

    It's quite easy with the Wiimote, for what little I played of it I got up to the second mansion indident and unlocked one of Weskers and Rebeccas side scenarios, got a few different weapons as well.

    Like I say decent enough game marred by shonky controls, or at least that's my problem with it.

    If the gun worked properly I imagine I'd have found it very easy though.

    Is it shonky controls or shonky arms/hands/fingers though?

    Hide the sausage would be easy if it wasn't for the shonky controls after drinking. If the gun worked though...
