Here we have a casual casualty on the Wii.

Read it and weep/laugh.

I like my Wii and all, but...

I like Wii controls, but any reasonable sheep will tell you that motion controls cannot save an inherently terrible piece of shovelware. If anyone told you this game would be even mediocre, they were either lying or just dumb.

LOL, thats really sad, I wonder if any store will actually carry this game (I havent seen any stores carry the stupid chicken game) but this is my favorite part

1.5Sound
Pathetic, sparse sound effects accompanied by a grossly out-of-place soundtrack. .5 awarded for the option to turn off the audio.

theseare nice too

"Ooooh!" you may exclaim, "the menu icons rumble when I hover over them!" Too bad there is no rumble in the actual game.

is that if the purchase is intended for anyone under the age of four, and boasts the intelligence of an M&M (no offense to you, personally, if your child is a moron).

Hilarious review :D. This is a nice one too "1.5 Lasting Appeal If by some means you're tied to a chair, eyes pried open Clockwork Orange style, and forced to endure all nine levels, there's a nifty time attack mode as a bonus for such a fine display of masochism".

There's 14 more shovelware crap to go. This is what you wanted, more developers flocking to the Wii. I remember some guy had the nerve to use this trashy developer as proof devs are flocking to the Wii. Flocking is not the word I had in mind.

This is actually a game that I hoped would score low. No company should ever get the notion that a lazily made game like this should be good.

You're going to see this more often than not on the wii. It's a children's console. What did anyone expect, a "revolutionary" game experience?farrell2k
No. Bring great immersive experiences which I got with SSX Blur and MP3. And that I will get with many other titles coming out soon.

This is one of the best reviews ever written. Crappy no name devs can put all of the crap they want on the wii as long as they get reviews like this one and the games dont sell.

I loved this part:

"The single-paragraph introduction found in the manual is the most information that you're going to get about the game, since there is no reference to the story once the adventure begins. It's up to Anubis, guardian of the underworld, to save ancient Egypt from the evil spirit Mumm'hotep, who has plunged the land into darkness. Anubis must lift the curse and along the way, battle creatures that your sister finger-painted in junior kindergarten."

:lol:

I love the smell of failure in the morning.

See now, this quote I love.. simply love it. The Wii is a child's console and this game reinforces that concept in your mind. Let me ask you this, This ia a 'port' of a Ps2 game. So, I'm sure the Ps2 version didn't have your 'hardcore' blood, guts, gore, and duel weilding awesomeness that all hardcore games just MUST have now a days. No, just no we shouldn't expect a nything revolutionary about playing a ps2 game on our Wii, nothing at all.

Are you sure the worst developer isn't Stellar Stone?

Well, at least some third-party devs are actually trying the Wii. I'm looking forward to Zack & Wiki.

*Yawn* The game is a child's game, even on the PS2. Get over it already, or stay in denial. I really don't care which. It's a child's console.

lol, there, there its okay big man, whatever makes you feel better.
