If you own a Wii and are looking for a new game to play, you might be drawn to buy Avatar: The Game. If you’ve seen the movie you know what a success it was as far as the box-office, so you could assume the game would be a success too. However, the game, at least on Wii, is lacking in several areas.

Overall, the presentation of the game is not bad. The graphics are, for the most part, fairly clear and detailed. However, during intense action scenes, you can really notice the choppiness of the graphics, and it can become distracting. I don’t know if this is due to the game’s graphics, or the Wii itself. Either way, it is very frustrating to be distracted by this game’s often sub-par graphics. (more…)

For long-time Mario fans, it may be odd to see a remake of a classic Mario game hit the stores again. Well, while the game itself is similar, the platform as well as controls are completely different. The game is for the Nintendo Wii, and enables you to play against others, both online and locally.

Of course since the game is a remake it’s not exactly original. However, it does have some differences from the original game. The main difference is probably its graphics, which are very good for the Wii, and have been received very well by players and critics alike. Unfortunately, what this game offers in graphical prowess is counterbalanced with poor control and accuracy. (more…)
