What was the last part you got stuck on? I never got stuck for more than ten minutes. My (small) kids are solving most of the puzzles without issue.

I haven't played it since last summer, but I think it was somewhere around half way through. I just found it to be more work than fun.

Hrm. Halfway through is the space chapter, right? Not the best chapter in the game.

I remember the space chapter, but I can't remember if that's where I quit or not. I actually started out loving it (and I love the concept), but...


I might pick it up if it ever hits <$20 though and resume my save file.

Yeah, you should definitely get No More Heroes. I bought it just the other day, and have fallen in love with it. Although if you have a delicate ear it might best to avoid it, as some of the language is rather coarse.

Yeah, just got No More Heroes myself. Wonderful design and, heck, the recharge animation alone makes the game worthwhile.

Gamestop had it for $30 too. I guess it's not selling as well as it should.

Mario kart kicks butt. I just got it today.

This is a post I put in another forum and thought it may benefit others in here.

A new game, MadWorld looks MAD, ver Siny City-ish. I love cel-shaded graphics (ala XIII from PS2), I guess that will have to join the wishlist along with 'No More Heroes' and 'Okami'. I also have Super Smash Brothers Brawl on pre-order (it comes out on the 26th of June 08 ), I don't think Nintendo regards Australians as it best customers.

I have a decent collection of games, below is a list of what I have and a comment about each. (I hope it is a bit helpful and informative, feel free to ask any questions about these games)

Zelda: Twilight Princess
Awesome game, first game I ever got totally hooked on. I did have a couple of issues with the camera angles and controls, nothing I couldn't get used to or forgive. I played for 11 hours straight on day/night (only a couple of food/toilet breaks). 75 hours of play time to complete (not yet 100%). Every Wii owner should have this.

Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition
I loved this game also, shooting zombies is so much fun. This was my first Resident Evil game and I regret I never played the ones before it. The puzzles are great, the bosses are awesome and the briefcase and weapons is cool in the sense that you have to be careful with your ammo and build on your weapons. The atmosphere is capture so well with creepy and suspense building music. Another Wii 'must have'.

Super Mario Galaxy
Great addition to the Mario franchise. Difficult in spots but quite an easy game to play (I did have to consult online game guides a couple of times though Embarassed I think it is extremely well made and it doesn't need violence, game play makes it entertaining. To be honest cutesy stuff usually annoys me but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wii Fit
My girlfriend really likes this game and is making some progress. I am a procrastinator. As a tool for exercise though, I think it's great. I love the balance exercises, the aerobic exercises are great for building up a sweat and I have to admit that I am bit soft for the muscle exercises and don't have the attention span for the yoga. A good package with the Wii fit and better than paying for gym fees in my opinion. I just feel a little guilty because I don't commit to it enough and it says Im overweight.... Embarassed

WiiPlay, WiiSports, Mercury Meltdown Revolution and Warioware: Smooth Moves
These games are excellent in the sense that they use the Wiimote the way it should be used. Play and Sports are entertaining for short term or playing with mates. Mercury Meltdown Revolution is a great puzzle game, I haven't given it enough time though. WarioWare: Smooth Moves, however, I found to be very addictive and the cut scenes are kind of entertaing too. I recomend it if you get it on sale like I did.

Super Paper Mario
I loved this game too, it had a bit too much reading and it could have had more hours of gameplay to the story (I am a bit lazy to go looking for hidden things). The humour is really cheesy but I liked that. A good addition to the Mario franchise, the RPG aspects are what make the gameplay great.

Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Mario Kart Wii, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Bully: Scholarship Edition and Mario Strikes Charged Football
I like all these games, I haven't given them my full attention though and hope to someday get through them. I was really into Bully and making great progress but got distracted with Super Mario Galaxy. Mario Kart Wii and Mario Strikers are respectful and very entertaining although they are not great enough for me to dedicate all my time to and I seem to get very embarrassed being a regular online loser. Lego Star Wars is a decent button masher, if I was about 15 years younger I would love it. As a Star Wars fan though, it does have some appeal. Metroid I haven't even looked at because I want to finish Bully first and can see my attention being taken by it.

Ghost Squad and Mario Party 8
I probably wouldn't bother with these..... (my girlfriend did give Mario Party 8 a good go though)
