[QUOTE="DeathScape666"] I only own a Wii, but I'll be completely honest here:
Last year, during the end of 2007, I was getting excited for some awesome third party games coming out, such as Manhunt 2, Battalion Wars II, Medal of Honor: Heroes 2, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and a few more games. All of these games disappointed me. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Super Paper Mario, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and many other first party Nintendo games all met or exceeded my expectations.
I still think the Wii is the absolute best system this generation, but pretty much every third party game has disappointed me. The only game that went above and beyond my expectations was No More Horoes. I'll get Zack and Wiki once I finish The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
I just hate how third parties complain about their titles not selling as well, when they are nowhere near as good as Nintendo's titles. Seriously, if I see Super Paper Mario and Medal of Honor: Heroes II on the same shelf, which one do you honestly think I'm going to get.
I hate to admit it, but I know a lot of those titles will flop. I am still content with the amount of Wii games coming out this year. I also have a DS and PS2 that still gets games, so that's good. The only ones I know that won't flop are Fatal Frame IV, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Spore. I think a lot of those games will be good, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too high.
Did you mention Band Mashups? I didn't see it listed there.
Cyber-
is band mashups really worth noting? i dont know if you want me to i will.
Anyway I dont see how MoH: H2 or RE UC could have dissappointed you.
Well, if you mention X game, then surely you can mention Band Mashups.
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2: Excellent controls can't make up for a boring single player campaign, medicore online play, terrible character models, and awul AI. The game was lazily put together, and the AI was absolutely horrible. There wasn't enough things to do in the online mode. For a short single player campaign, it was pretty damn boring. It's nothing more than a generic first person shooter. Sure, the controls are great, 32 people online sounds good, and no friend codes is definitely a plus, but its all wrapped into one small, disappointed package. You can read my full review in my profile.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles: It lacked depth. I know it is an on rails shooter, but the previews got me excited for something more. I got bored of this game even before the first level ended. The game just isn't fun at all. All you do is shoot really fast, occasionally use your knife, and pick up files. Honestly, it's really hard to view the game play as anything other than "shallow."
Needless to say, Link's Crossbow Training is better than both of those games. It's sad that a tech demo that's just supposed to show off the capabilities of the Wii Zapper is more fun than those three full fledged games I named. If Nintendo made more games, there wouldn't be any reason to get third party titles, except for No More Heroes and maybe Zack and Wiki.
