Sonic Colors for Nintendo Wii Game REVIEW

Sonic Colors for Nintendo Wii Game REVIEW

GAMEPLAY

Sonic Colors is a 3D sonic game, today I am reviewing the wii version. The gameplay in sonic colors is basic, but fun! The controls for this game are diverse. You can use a wii remote, and a classic controller. This game is for the wii, so you can't use the wii u gamepad. In the game, you can move in 8 directions, double jump, home attack, slide, boost to destroy enemies and go faster, and use the wisps. The wisps give sonic different powers. For example, the laser wisp makes sonic run at the speed at light, and the rocket wisp makes sonic into a literal rocket!

FOR COMPLETIONISTS

This game is really linear, and has a simple world map selection screen that allows you to pick a level in 6 different worlds. The worlds can include a factory, roller coaster, theme park, etc. in these worlds there are about 8 levels that can be completed for S ranks which is the highest rank you can get. (D is the worst, S is the best) The cool thing is, when you complete a level early on, you could have missed areas because you didn't have a wisp available to you. So you can come back to those old levels and see what you missed. The main collectible in this game are the red rings. You find them hidden in the stages and when you have enough, you can unlock special stages. For multiplayer.

MULTIPLAYER

You can join with one friend, or by yourself, to complete 28 stages of trying to find the chaos emeralds. These stages are particularly easy, but rewarding. When you get all 7 chaos emeralds, you can unlock super sonic, which is as cool as it sounds!

ART STYLE

Keep in mind that this game was on the wii, so it is not hd, but it is 480p. This is also the best looking sonic game on the wii, beating sonic unleashed, sonic and the secret rings, and sonic and the black knight. This game has the same art style as any other sonic 3D game, and looks really good!

MUSIC AND SOUND EFFECTS

The music in this game is AMAZING, so many different types of sonic music, I would say it is my second favorite sound track for any sonic game! Here is a video with some of the best music!

DESIGN

The levels in this game are well designed! Although most of the stages are 2D, I would say I like the 2D stages as much as the 3D ones. Also this game is so colorful, with the different stages, and suits the situation in where sonic is! 

FINAL GRADE

I would not say this is my favorite sonic game, but it is way up there, and the overall gameplay is enjoyable playing again and again. The final score is a...

9/10!!!

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Game REVIEW

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD

GAMEPLAY

Breath of the Wild is finally here! It was supposed to come back in 2015, but the wait was worth it! This Zelda game has the most complex combat, and puzzle solving than in any other Zelda game. For example, you can pick up weapons like a sword, axe, stick, leaf, battle-axe, shield, wooden weapons and shields, tunics, hats, blah, blah, blah, etc. There is so many items and clothing to where that people have not even found all of them yet! 

The weapons can also break, this is a feature that forces you to strategize, what to use at what time, and you will have to pick up new items all the time. However, there is one weapon that is indestructible, but I won't spoil it. Ill give you a hint, it starts with Master.

You also have your sheikh slate, which is totally not a Wii U game pad for link or a switch! This tablet can do a lot of things, it has a map of the world, that you will have to fill to yourself, and has runes, which give you different powers like, magnesis, stopping time, bombs, and more! 

MINI SECTION: CONTROLS

Here ill just give you a picture, it is too complicated.

The last things to talk about the gameplay is it is rewarding, because this game is really difficult and the enemy AIs are smart. When you kill more harder enemies, you get better items, gear etc.

COMPLETIONIST QUESTION

YES, this game is jam packed with content for you to replay the game for. You can find these shrines that act like mini-dungeons in the game, they are 5-20 minutes each, and there are 120 of them! The reward you get is upgrading your health or stamina! There is also the Korok seeds. Wind Waker fans may recognize these beings, and know who they are. When you complete a puzzle or find a korok, it will give you a kook seed. These seeds can be used to upgrade inventory space and there are 400 of them! Another thing is the Hyrule compendium, which also from wind waker, is taking pictures of items, enemies, npcs, to complete a picture collection. There are other completionist items, but that is spoiler territory so you will have to find it yourself! BY the way, it is impossible to complete the game in 7days 100%.

 (THE WHOLE MAP, its HUGE!!!)

THE ART STYLE

The art style for this game is amazing! It is really similar to an old movie called Princess Mononoke! It is like a mix of skyward sword and wind waker, making a beautiful cell-shaded game! The art-style doesn't make the game look like it will look bad in years to come, because of the art style unlike realistic looking games. 

MUSIC AND SOUND AFFECTS   

The music in this game is honestly my favorite music in all Zelda games, its like they combined the music of all Zelda games and put them into one!

Here's some of my favorites: HYRULE CASTLE, TEMPLE OF TIME, STONE TALUS, LYNEL BATTLE, HINOX BATTLE, GUARDIAN BATTLE, MASTER SWORD MUSIC, KAKARIKO VILLAGE, and More!

Here's a link to Dystify, he put all the music on his channel and it is great, props to him!

DESIGN

The design of the game is what you would call open air, it is open world, but not empty, it has lots of things to do! This game is designed so well, it should get some kind of reward.

FINAL GRADE

This game is probably, no it is my favorite game of all time, beating super Mario galaxy 2 and majors's mask! I would rate this a 12/10, I have no complaints on this game!

THE FINAL GRADE IS 10/10

AND the game of the year, I'm calling it!

Empowering Learners Nintendo Switch

NINTENDO SWITCH

The Nintendo Switch is the newest console that has come out. It came out on March 3rd 2017 and is doing well compared to the Wii U and original Wii, or any other Nintendo Console. The may not have that many launch games, but it is about quality, not quantity, and it has breath of the wild, which is basically the only game you need. This console really appeals to me because I really like Nintendo and I've wanted to play Nintendo games that are home console level on the go!

The main thing that this does other consoles like the ps4 and Xbox 1 do not do is being completely portable. This is really nice, because I would like to play outside, in the bathroom, and anywhere else, while playing a ps4 like game.

I would also really like to make games on the switch, so I can play at home or on the go. I could create games that you can create in game maker, or games I can create are like shovel knight, a really good game.

I could learn this at home, because it will be easy bringing it to school and back home, and this is a great idea, because you can only teach so many things in a classroom. But, it would not be like homework, it would be for fun!

Galaga Game REVIEW

STORY

There is no written story for this game, but you can piece together that your piloting a ship that is going to fight aliens to protect your planet, or you are taking over their planet, etc.

GAMEPLAY/MECHANICS/WINNING?LOSING

The gameplay for this game is pretty simple. All you can do is move left or right and shoot lasers. This is basic, but it is fun to shoot at the enemies. When you shoot the enemy, it gets destroyed and that is how you win. You have 3 lives, and that is enough to play (dieing twice). The game doesn't really give you a reason to replay the game, but it is addicting to replay the game. Also there is no end to the game, you just play until you die. 

SCORE

The scoring is also simple, the more you kill, the more of a high score you get. The only reason to get a high score is to do better than everyone else who played the game. 

GRAPHICS

The graphics are the most basic that they could be, but this is an arcade game, so it makes sense. This game is in 8-bit graphics.

SOUND

The sound for the game is not that compelling. There is no music, there is only sound affects for when you die, shoot, and hit an enemy.

FINAL GRADE

The grade I would give this is a 7 out of 10. This game is addicting, but to me it is not worth playing anymore.
