100 Word Review #2 – Academy of Champions

Simply put Academy of Champions is a great Wii game, as a standalone arcade football game it ticks all the right boxes with a great visual style, interesting concept and excellent Wii controls but where this game really shines is in its “story” mode, a mix of mini-games and matches coupled with “RPG-lite” elements. It’s hard to describe but trust me its great fun! Academy of Champions may not be the longest game but it definitely deserves a purchase and is evidence of what can be accomplished with a game built from the ground up for the Wii!

Verdict: Recommended

100 Word Review #1 – Mini Ninjas

Mini Ninjas has instantly become one of my favourite Wii titles. From the start it is evident that a lot of effort has been put into this game, the graphics are rich and colourful; characters are animated smoothly and display distinct personalities, sound is also impressive. Motion controls are implemented well and combat is satisfyingly deep especially as your “justsu” abilities improve. The only fault I found was that it was all over too quickly. Don’t think that this game is just another poor cross platform release; Mini Ninjas definitely deserves a place in you Wii collection!

Verdict: Highly Recommended
