.. With more than 30 hours of game play, the puzzles can be played slowly over time. There are also minigames to explore. Plus, the game allows others to get involved as advisers who can draw circles around areas to investigate. This is a fun way for a parent and child to play together …

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Avatar: The Legend of Aang — The Burning Earth by Vooks

The game carries some form of disappointment in nearly all areas from the gameplay to the presentation. Although it may not be exactly the same genre, (since Avatar is an action/platform hybrid) the very fact a game such as Super Mario Galaxy exists is enough to turn any self-respecting gamer away from either considering this title. This lazy title doesn’t even stand up to the quality of the Wii launch range. Avatar Aang may be the last airbender, but this will certainly not be last cheap cash-in Wii title to cause disappointment…

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game The Bee Movie Game by GamersInfo

I assumed that a game licensed from a kid’s movie would be a game (surprise) for kids; as it turned out, I was right, but not because of the game’s storyline or content. The Bee Movie Game is a kid’s game because it requires really, really good hand/eye coordination, not to mention the reflexes and flexible focus of a Jack Russell terrier. The games are not terribly complicated or difficult to understand; it’s just that they take full advantage of the Wii-mote’s capabilities. If you’re not skilled at moving, shooting and watching two to three places on the screen at the same time, some of the games can be brutal. I have a feeling I made it past one tutorial for a Pachinko-like game that involves collecting good honey in a bucket and shooting bad honey only because it was set up so that failure was nigh-impossible.

The Bee Movie Game should be very popular with kids, and adults may find a measure of enjoyment from the nostalgia factor in the minigames. Sadly, that loading screen issue, much like the final episode of “Seinfeld,” is both annoying and disappointing — the rest of the product proves that the team responsible could have done much better.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Thrillville: Off the Rails by Vooks

Thrillville: Off the Rails is a game that suffers from an identity crisis. On the one hand, it can be seen as theme park creator and Sim. But on the other, it’s just another mini-game-fest that I’m sure we’ve all seen before in the Wii’s library of games. The game feels like it’s a too little of a Sim and too much of a mini-game compilation. Even then it’s hard to find the target audience that would enjoy this game to its full potential. Younger players get mini-games with a strange Sim game tacked on and older players get a shallow and cheesy Sim experience with some flash mini-games added to the mix. Some of the mini-games make great little multiplayer bouts, but they all tire way too fast. The intuitive rollercoaster building helps bring this game up from a relatively downhill ride.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Avatar the Airbender: The Burning Earth by Gamersinfo

We begin the game with Aang on his quest to learn the other elements. He was only 11 when he hid from the Fire Nation attacks, and although Katara has been shown to be a water-bending master, he must still learn fire- and earth-bending to become a true Avatar. Those familiar with the series will recognize the locations and characters from the first scene. While the retelling of the story differs slightly — it must to make sense to a non-fan — the gist of the story remains intact.

Incredibly enough, so does the humor. Sokka, a 15-year-old boy is quite frankly, a dork. This comes across often. Aang may be the savior of the known world, but he’s still only 12 at this point and wants to play. And Katara is the older sister of Sokka — she’s been his mother for many years, and her motherly overbearing nature is obvious. You don’t have to be familiar with the tale to smile.
