A Regular Hootenanny of Wii Reviews

As promised in my last post, here is the first in a series of console related mini-reviews to show some folks my taste in games.
Who the fuck am I kidding. My readership is Joe and Billy and they've known me for a combined 20 years.
Whatever, I'm bored.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii) - 9.5/10
See last post for review.
Madden NFL 08 (Wii) - 7/10
Whacked out controls, regressing graphics...but its still Madden and the multiplayer crap is fun.
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii) - 9/10
A perfect port of a near-perfect game.
Super Paper Mario (Wii) - 8.5/10
Fun, nostalgic platforming fun that oozes charm and humor.
Mario Strikers Charged (Wii) - 9.25/10
Zaniest soccer game ever that's only knock is its ridiculous difficulty.
Elebits (Wii) - 7.5/10
The best launch window FPS on the Wii and you shoot little electric things with a fucking toy gun. Way to shit the bed, Ubisoft. Thats what Far Cry and Red Steel got beat by you dumb fucks. I know this breaks the self-imposed one sentence rule but I don't give two shits. Ubisoft is fucking dumb. I can't believe I bought Red Steel....
Fuckin' A!
Just for that...
Red Steel (Wii) - 0/10
Review that might ruin what little respectability I have but whatever, the game only deserves acclaim for setting down suspect groundwork for future Wii FPS' to vastly improve on. Multi-player was fleetingly fun and Krasucki had a decent time with it. Other than that I think more than people performed Harry Carey than actually bothered to control the stupid sword battles. Warioware had one to one sword battles. FUCKING WARIOWARE!!!
Fuckin' A!
Just for that...
Warioware: Smooth Moves (Wii) - 9.5/10
Best multiplayer Wii game yet.
The BIGs (Wii) - 7/10
Lays down solid groundwork for future baseball titles but regardless of controls, the game is weak depthwise and MLB Power Pros should top it.
Mario Party 8 (Wii) - 7/10
While a little on the stale side, the game still brings forth some unique game boards and a solid Wii multiplayer experience with a lot of jerking-off games.
Spider-Man 3 (Wii) - 4.5/10
Betrayal. Deception. Crap. No, these aren't describing the themes of the movie, thats pretty much how the game was. Friend or Foe better kick its ass and I think as long as Friend or Foe is fun, it'll be good.
Sonic and the Secret Rings (Wii) - 7/10
This Arabian Nights themed game would've been better if it played like Aladdin for the Genesis instead of Sonic R.
Excite Truck (Wii) - 7.5/10
Mainly gets the knock because it is only 2 player. Would be totally awesome if there was a track editor and 4 player support. Excite Truck 2: Electric Boogaloo would probably rock worlds if this was implemented.
Wii Play (Wii) - 7/10
A bunch of simplistic stupid mini-games that squeaks out an average rating because of Tanks, "Duck Hunt" and the Cow Race.
Wii Sports (Wii) - 8/10
Its the most accesible game for Wii and has almost endless replay value.
Rampage: Total Destruction (Wii) - Big Freaking Monsters/10
It's Rampage in 3D with a lot of unlockable creatures. You all know the drill.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) - 9.5/10
The perfect version of this specific style of Zelda. Let's hope the series evolves but until then it shouldn't be so bad.
Rayman Raving Rabbids (Wii) - 7.5/10
Would be one of the best games on Wii if the multiplayer wasn't so dreadful.
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii) - 7.5/10
The gesture controls aren't neccesarily bad and the game is solid no matter how the controls are.
Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (Wii) - 8/10
Suprisingly good fighting game that shows how 3D fighting games should be done on Wii. Take notes, Mortal Kombat.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz (Wii) - Failed Potential/10
Fuck Amusement Visions for creating one of the greatest multiplayer games of all time and then allowing it to be repeatedly shit on. Also, thanks for fucking up Monkey Target, asshats.

There. Argue with me if you want. These scores are up debate because I didn't put too much thought into them. Expect second opinions and the like as the Wii continues to grow.
