So far it brings back memories but needs serious reconfiguring to make it playable for multi-player.
Next week I will talk more about this game.

New Super Mario Bros.Wii
I bought this game for my fiancée over the weekend and played it with her. Basically its a spin off of all the mario brothers games for NES and Super NES in one, but the difference is that some things are in 3D and you can use the Wii Remote to interact on screen. I have not beaten the game and have only gotten to the second world but it closely resembles super mario world. It is extremely basic for levels for advanced players, but for beginners it proved challenging for my fiancée. Most of the beginning levels involve moving platforms, something that beginners have a hard time jumping to especially when they have such a hard time getting Mario to go where they want him to move to. I died once in the first world and my fiancée died a grand total of 55 times. For every 5 times you die you must use a continue, and in exchange you receive 5 additional lives. I think the greatest feature of the new super mario bros.wii game is you can play co-op with up to four players; Mario, Luigi, (Blue) Toad and (Yellow) Toad. However the players are "solid" and you can not walk through eachother, resulting in death when you are trying to jump from one tiny platform to another in a hurry. Its too difficult to coordinate the timing between four players especially when the screen is moving and there is little ground for the players to walk on. Not only that but if the leading player goes too far the screen moves with that player, and the player dragging along dies. You are constantly waiting on another player and if you do anything ahead of the other player you risk killing them. When you do die you fall off the screen and float back in a bubble and the other player must pop it for you to be able to play again.

Wii Resort
Wii Resort is basically an add-on to Wii Sports, the game that came with the Wii system. It includes the following games: Swordplay, Wake boarding, Archery, Frisbee, Basket Ball, Power Cruising, Cycling, Golf, Table Tennis, Bowling, Canoeing, and Air Sports. In each game the more you play the more games (up to 3) you unlock per category. While all the games have some level of fun each one is only really fun (in my humble opinion) when you play with someone else and they are competitive. Some of the games such as Cycling require so much energy to play that the user is less likely to play the game again, mainly out of sheer exhaustion. Over all the game is fun, users get to see their Mii in action against other players whereas inn other Wii games they do not get to see the character they created. This game is fairly fun and has several games sure to appeal to everyone's tastes; the wii motion sensor is awesome in unlocking even more potential with the Wii console. Because their is so much for each individual game I will go into short detail per category next time to reduce the amount of text to read.
