Thoughts/Questions:
Kotaku.com's, Stephen Totilo has tracked and shown "The 10 Most Avidly-Played Wii Games", according to the average hours "Per person", for several months now. Call of Duty: World at War currently sits in 4th place overall, with an average of 50 Hours 48 Minutes "Per person".
Being that Call of Duty: World at War was released in November 2008, and with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare [Reflex] already at 22 Hours 27 Minutes average play-time "Per person", I wonder if it will join Stephen Totilo's "Top 10" most played games chart on the Wii within the next year?
I've only played The Conduit, and I enjoyed the single-player campaign, and I enjoyed the multi-player, when it functioned properly.
If you have played both The Conduit and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare [Reflex], I would love to know which game you think is better, and your reasons why you favor one game over the other.
I have played both The Conduit and Call of Duty Modern Warfare Reflex Edition. I think gameplay and online wise COD:MWR is better. The main reason why I believe that is because CoD's online system is much better than the Conduits. Granted Condiut may be prettier but the better experience is CoD at least in my book.
ReplyDelete@Anon: Thanks for the comment! I have COD:MWR on my "wish list". I bought COD:WaW last year after Christmas, and it's still my most played Wii game to date, mainly because of it's online play.
ReplyDeleteNintendo needs to start making more RPG games, I went to amazon and a majority of the games were "party" games.
ReplyDeleteOr a Castlevania type game. I can see the controls being used for a whip somehow.
@Nicodemus at Nite:
ReplyDeleteThey do have a lot of "party" games.
Though not all the "party" games are bad.
There is one Castlevania game on the Wii, but not whip in the game that I know of.
One of the Indiana Jones games on the Wii used "motion" for whip controls, and I remember reading one users "review" that said it was very detailed and functioned extremely well.
I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't put out a Pilot Wings game with it's own controller for that.
ReplyDelete@Nicodemus at Nite: The closest game on the Wii to Pilot Wings, is Wii Sports Resort.
ReplyDeleteThere are two Nintendo franchises I would love to see sequels for on the Wii, Star Fox and Wave Race.
@coffeewithgames: Yes, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a Star Fox game. I enjoyed the SNES version and absolutely went GA-GA over the N64 version.
