    A solid game, if a bit too average for today’s standards.

    With extremely dated graphics, poor sound, archaic mechanics, and a loser of a plot, this game just doesn't measure up to any standard. This dummy just needs to crash and be done with it.

    CID The Dummy is a rather disappointing experience and a prime example of the recent trend of “shovelware” that seems to have befallen the Wii. There are little to no discernable areas of good quality in the game and at best it may pass an hour or two before you become at best confused and at worst utterly completely frustrated.

    There is nothing good to say about this game. I imagine it was pretty poor on the PSP, and it’s even worse with shoddy Wii controls added.

    CID The Dummy could have been a decent enough little game were it not for Wii controls shoehorned in.

    You’d have to be a real dummy to spend any money on this.

    If you don’t want to feel like a crash test dummy after an intensive testing session then this game is definitely one to avoid.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. What a dummy of a game! Let me explain.
    The story is a rip-off from Mega Man, only worse, the controls are horrendous, and did they bother to test it? "Not such a dummy now aren't I?" Well, Cid, you are the dummy here. At the sea level, where you ride a thing when you complete it, you are met with a results screen. You thought this torturous level was over, but no. You had to restart the level if you didn't keep the thing in the air!    … Full Review »

    the grafics are pretty low even for a wii game (the same console that have games like Xenoblade Chronicles or the Legend of Zelda Twilightthe grafics are pretty low even for a wii game (the same console that have games like Xenoblade Chronicles or the Legend of Zelda Twilight princess) and the controlls are even worst, you need to use costantly the motion controlls and that is not the best option for a 2.5 platform and there is fall damage that 1 doesn't make any sense because CID is a impact dummy and most of all the fall damage is not something like the more you fall the more damage you take no is you fall and it's game over. And finally the story is just a poor version of the story of Megaman. this game is not worthy of the money that i spent for this crap… Full Review »
