Animal Crossing First Thoughs (Wii)

I'd like to say first I’m sorry for my absence. My computer has ran into a number of problems.

Anyway, On Christmas i received Animal Crossing; Let's go to
the City, So with my Laptop i though i could get another Review in. I've only just started, really, so i though I’d do first thoughts like i did with 'Alone
in the Dark

So your on a bus -like on the Gamecube- and you talk to Rover - Again, like the Gamecube - And set your settings. Once that's all done you're put into the
town just like the other two games. So far the controls are DREADFULL, in my opinion. You use the Wii remote and point, like you're using the stylus but
mine seems to stop responding, I'd plug in the nunchuck if i knew where it was but i don't...

It's mainly just the Gamecube/DS version with new wallpaper over it. I'm unsure how to react to be honest. I loved Animal Crossing: Wild World. I played it for an entire year none-stop and then just left it.

Why don't I like this? It's most likely the controls...Or maybe it isn't. I remember long before this game was announced, being in a small AC Forum and talking about how great it would be to have a Wii version. You know, Motion Controls and being able to put furniture outside. I also remember myself suggesting that there could be clubs like fishing and bug clubs. We couldn't of been the only ones who wanted new stuff so why is it exactly the same?

I'm also wondering how the Hell the named the entire game after a tiny Plaza with about five shops. Maybe I’m over-reacting. Maybe I should play a bit more before i continue. Yes, There is still hope but so far, what I’ve seen has disappointed me

Guitar Hero World Tour (Wii)

After lugging the box from Gamestation, almost crippling my shoulder and killing an old guy, I got to play this. Having not played Rock Band I was curious to see what the drums where like. Took me a while to put them up because I thought it was quite confusing, but that's probably just me. Finally I was set up and ready to go. My first thought was, am I doing this right? It seemed I was, and the pad was just un-responsive. Then my sister comes in the room and asks me what the hell am I doing as she could here banging, like someone knocking a nail in to a wall. Yes, they are that noisey.

After a toy around with the drums, I tried the guitar. I sort of knew what to expect because I had Guitar Hero 3. The guitar has always worked and always will. The only thing I don't like is the new Touch Strip, it just doesn't feel right and kind of arkward to use, also un-responsive at times.

Another new addition to the Guitar Hero family is the microphone. I have a terrible voice so I couldn't do it that well. The dot that tracks your pitch seems to stick every now and again and gives you a low score. But again, that's probably just me unable to sing.

Overall I would reccomend this if you didn't get Rock Band or infact Guitar Hero 3. The drums are nothing special. Guitar Hero 3 is quite cheap so if you don't have anyone to play this with, I'd get that, but it's up to you.

Verdict
+ Multiplayer is good
+ Guitar works well. Always has done
- Takes up a lot of space
- Expensive
- Sometimes un-responsive
