Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
Anybody got one?
I acquired a Wii some time ago, when my nephew was trading up to a PS3 (or something - I'm not into all this). I like the idea of the Wii being a party game mediator.
The trouble is: I can't find any decent games for it. My idea of a decent game is one that does not require any deep level of understanding in order to play it, or to have built up a history before it lets you get to the good stuff, or to have to take turns. A WWI flying ace game I bought on eBay to try failed on the second count - it insists on a series of successfully completed training missions before you get to fly around shooting up the other players, and who can be bothered with that?
Mario Kart fails because it's not a simple race - you have to get power-ups etc, and that means understanding what you are trying to do, and therefore reading the manual (if there is one) before playing - or more likely being one of the kids this stuff is aimed at who seem to know about these things instinctively.
Game recommendations and explanations welcome.
