    FFIV has always been a solid game and will always remain that way, but some games don’t hold up as well as others over the years and, for most of us, nostalgia can only take you so far.

    For what it’s worth, Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon is the best Square-Enix game for a Nintendo home console since Final Fantasy VI (called Final Fantasy III at the time) hit SNES in the mid-90s.

    Even at $20, you would be better served browsing Amazon for any of a thousand better trivia books.

    Despite being a sequel, Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 is a unique concept that uses DS to its full potential.

    Guitar Hero: Aerosmith borders on the brink of being an unnecessary edition to the franchise. Yes, there are enhancements that move the series forward, especially in regards to difficulty balance, but the smaller track list, repetitive song styles and resemblance to Legends of Rock leave something to be desired.

    Anyone who loves it will continue to love it, and for anyone who's sick of the formula, this isn't the game to change your mind.

    Gyrostarr is a good deal for 700 Wii Points on WiiWare. The graphics and multiplayer aspects really shine and the new twist of collecting energy is fun.

    So, On Tour is not the best game and the series and does little to progress the franchise, but Guitar Hero fans now have a decent distraction while away from home.

    If Wii is you're only system and you have the cash, it's probably worth it. On its own, it's a solid entry, although there are also a lot of other competing music games out there.

    While a few faults hurt the game -- like the difficulty and meager amount of levels -- the main foundation of this title is fabulous.

    Blast Works, is, on many levels, quite an achievement. The game is one part shooter, one part game creator and one part trading station; and all three of these components function well.

    There are a variety of technical problems with Kung Fu Panda: the camera is wonky, Wii remote motions imprecise, a little buggy and a lazy PS2 port.

    The pinpoint controls and well-integrated HUD allow for a great action-RPG experience, with excellent pacing on leveling up your character.

    It may have slipped under the radar before, but now is the perfect time to give this unique game the second chance it deserves. Don’t miss out.

    UFO should be applauded for offering a full retail release of The Monkey King, but we can’t recommend a purchase in good conscience, even if it were a five dollar download. The Monkey King is monkey crap.

    There are plenty of reasons to hit the Wii Shop channel and plunk down the 1,000 points for Dr. Mario Online Rx. Virus Buster is an adequate addition to what is a classic Nintendo puzzler, and the overall presentation would be considered rock solid even if it came in a plastic case and required a gas-guzzling trip to GameStop

    Casual gamer, hardcore gamer, it doesn't matter. Wii Fit is an excellent way to introduce a little physical activity into your daily routine -- if you can manage to find a copy.

    My Life as a King is not for everybody. The sluggish beginning will detract many gamers, especially those unfamiliar to the simulation and management genres.

    While a few faults may hold back the score from being perfect, LostWinds is a refreshing and almost nostalgic experience that will leave a player excited, but still asking for more.

    Pop
    For 700 Wii Points, Pop is overpriced.

    Speed Racer is definitely a rental unless you're a fan of the television series or the newly released movie.

    The high-speed racing, combined with a dedicated combat interface, makes for a exciting mix without placing too much emphasis on the vehicle-versus-vehicle matches.

    It's definitely worth playing. It's a gem in the Wii library.

    Here's the bottom line: Toy Shop is an atrocious game well beyond any hope of redemption.

    Mario Kart Wii has many faults. But when it’s good, it’s very, very good, and as long as you have Wi-Fi, it will keep you occupied for many months to come.

    For its discount price point, pinball enthusiasts will be entertained.

    The World Ends With You stands tall as both a compelling piece of interactive art and a brilliantly designed and executed game.

    Wild Earth: African Safari feels like a game on the fence. It doesn't know whether it wants to be a serious, realistic photo safari sim or a lighthearted romp for younger players.

    With the movement-based attacks and extensive roster of characters, there's no doubt that strategy fans will find a lot to like here.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    While it isn't necessary a quantum leap over the PS2 version -- and while the game has its faults -- this is still a solid title that hardcore Wii owners will want to consider adding to their library.
