To Start: How about a game


Well in the spirit of reviewing Wii video games. I'll start with a review of Battalion Wars 2. Now i never played Battalion Wars 1 but i hear it was pretty good. BW2 Makes good if sometimes confusing use of the Wiimote sometimes your ship or tank seems to be turning when you didn't want it to but over all it certainly makes a really good try at making the best uses of the motion controls and the aiming with the Wiimote. I can't really imagine trying to aim with an analog stick. The game itself is quite engaging and it's really fun to just spend allot of time blowing stuff up. Things do explode with quite satisfying bangs and showers of flame. The commentary provided by your commanders and the enemy in the game is quite humorous.. but can become a little annoying if you have to repeat a level a number of times. The biggest fault I could see in the game is it's lacking a 2 player co-op and battle mode on the same system necessitating the purchase of 2 copies of the game and 2 Wiis if you want to have your girlfriend join you in the game (provided of course you could convince her to play a game where all you do is make things explode). The wi-fi connection is pretty good the ability to play people not on your friends list also allows the possibility of fighting a real person even if none of your friends have the game yet.

Overall rating: 4 Stars out of 5
