I agree with scott pilgrim. It's okay, but it really let me down in terms of my expectations. I thought it would be another castle crashers, but the controls are clunky, it feels really slow, and I don't enjoy the gameplay mechanics nearly as much as castle crashers.

I don't think the game is BAD, but it wasn't as great as I thought. There were a ton of terrible games out this year, but I expected them all to be terrible.

Why Bioshock 2?

(Not arguing, just curios as to why you didnt like it/were disappointed with it).

Tatsunoko WTF


That's what I was thinking. My friend had just done the Wii emulation thing on his Wii and despite having hundreds of games at our disposal its the only one we played. It ranks up there in my Game of the Year catagory.

I didn't have any disappointments from the few new games I played.

One of mine would be Blaster Master Overdrive. It's a fun game, but it doesn't hold a candle to the original. They took away the best things about the game too in my humble opinion, and I was really looking forward to something better, like Contra Rebirth.

I'm also disappointed at how many people no longer play Mario Kart online. It's such a great game and it's a shame so many gamers now consider it a fad of the past.

I feel this has more to do with Nintendo's lackluster online features, it gets kind of boring when all you can really do is race. ie people who play games like COD, like it because there is a sense of achievement involved, Nintendo's idea of online gaming is exactly the same as hotseat just at your own house...oh but you can communicate with one another, so hotseat wins.

Wasn't there a cheating problem with it too?

Donkey Kogn Country Returns.

Felt like DKC 2.0 (NOT DKC2) with a lot less "stuff".
