Best console pinball game period, IMO For whatever reason, that's the game I thought I was getting when I downloaded Alien Crush. I think I realized they were two different games but I got it anyway. I wish there were trade-in options on VC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJSexay 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 just got a Wii myself, my family has taken it over.. this is insane. I had played it before but never to the point where my arms got a little sore! I have Super Paper Mario which is a ton of fun. Still undecided on what my next game purchase should be. I sorta wanted to try out... Sonic *hides*. Anyone know if the positives outweigh the negatives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish there were trade-in options on VC. Yeah, Alien Crush isn't nearly as good, and Devil's Crush, while more or less a sequel, is so much better it's insane. With VC games it's very important to research just what you're getting, because you can't demo it directly...but there's ROMs you know. At least you didn't buy Mario Bros. expecting SMB though, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2007 I tend not to go into this blind, but that was one of my first VC purchases and I was all hyped up to spend money. "A game called Bloody Wolf and a pinball game that almost sounds like Devil's Crush? I'M THERE!" That said, I do like AC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexPuma 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2007 For Sonic and the Secret Rings, I got it not too long ago. It's a really messed up game in the way one moment I was thinking that this game was awesome and possibly the best console Sonic game since Sonic Heroes took the games in the wrong direction. The next moment, the game throws me in horrible, inane missions and tosses a bunch of crap in my face and then laughs at me. The next moment I love it again until the next inane mission. Good thing I managed to score the game for free. The game is "wait until you can grab it for $30" at best. I'm playing Paper Mario on the VC more than anything right now, it even took over my playings of Scarface, which I have yet to finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 So I went to a pawn shop yesterday and they actually had a used Wii. It was nothing different than what you'd see in a normal retail store, only this one was used. Just the system, the two controllers, stand, sensor bar, and Wii Sports. Wanna guess how much they were asking for the used package, the same thing you would have to pay $250 for in a normal retail store if you bought it new? $450!!!

Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 The "Game" franchise stores in dublin has used Wii's have used ones for €254 (retail price at launch was €269, now they have deals for shitty games and no base consoles that they charge €290+ depending on the game packages). I got a base console in argos (sort of like a warehouse/ catalog store in the states) for €250. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2007 Devil's Crush is pretty damn fun. I used the leftover Wii points to buy Zelda II for the hell of it too, my memory of that game not being that good has been replaced with nostalgia of playing it everyday after school and making maps. Love the music too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted August 6, 2007 I got it. Classic example of a crummy game that is addictive if played with other people. The gameplay is utterly, utterly broken and unbalanced, but if you have another person to play coop with, it's strangely fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
