Do you Wii?

[Verto]

RE4 is a game that shall soon be returned, I think. Baiten Kaitos, or however it is spelled...not sure, I think the jury is still out.

Rogue Squadron is fun, not the best SW "flightsim", but not the worst. Mario Sunshine seems fun too. Couldn't find a copy of Eternal Darkness, or Tales of Symphonia.

I returned Resident Evil 4, but at a different GameStop that had both Eternal Darkness AND Tales of Symphonia. I look forward to both



On a sidenote, my roommate is really getting into Guitar Hero, and now wants to buy a PS2 for the game (plus all the Final Fantasy titles and other PS2 games he never played).

They let you return and exchange console games? Seems generous.

Guitar Hero is astonishingly fun. It's an absolutely awesome party game. I am really looking forward to them releasing it on the 360, hoping you will be able to get new songs from the marketplace.

I'll bite - what's guitar hero? Please please don't let it be what it might be.

Basically, you plug in a custom controller that you can buy with the game, that looks like a guitar. Then you fire up the game, pick a song, and play it on the guitar. It's a rhythm game, and the interface looks much like that of dance dance type games, except you use the guitar, instead of the pad to play. It sounds kinda stupid, but it's really fun.

EDIT: Oh, and atm, it's a PS2 exclusive, but I understand they are planning to release GHII for the PS3 and the 360.

Please please don't let it be what it might be.

Here's what the 360 controller is supposedly going to look like.

Oh my that's not a gimmicky controller on the X-Box 360 is it?

Keep up, spikie, this has been addressed like on the first page of the thread.

[DrSpike]

I only remember discussion of a wii gimmicky controller. However that was 2 months ago so I may have forgotten.

When you buy them used, yeah - within 7 days, with receipt, for full money back. Makes me a lot more likely to try out a game, since I know I am not stuck with it if it sucks.

The lawsuit is over Apple’s proprietary iPod and iTunes software, which is generally incompatible with non-Apple products. Media purchased on iTunes is supposed to be playable only on iPod hardware, and songs purchased on other DRM systems are not easily playable on iPods.

It is a silly game, requiring a stupid fake guitar that does exactly what a regular controller does - provides you with, what, 5? colored buttons that you hit based on what the screen tells you to. This, in turn, has the effect of making even the most inept person feel like they can actually play the guitar.

'tis a silly thing.

That's another perspective.

Also, your quote is confusing.

I like how all the internet sites say "you look cool playing guitar hero"

As compared to using a keyboard and a mouse in the AC comfort of your home to make you feel like your an infantryman storming the beach at Normandy, or in Viet Nam, or fighting space aliens?

Don't be silly; what kind of idiot plays a FPS on a computer? All the good ones are on Xbox.

Anyway, I am sorry I ever brought up the stupid game. The Wii thread deserves better discussion.
