Game play
This time i played i chose to only play a few of the mini games. i chose to play laser hockey and the shooting game. In laser hockey you seem to get competitive right away because the rules are simple and everyone can play. This is a good take off of the simple game of pong or the basics of air hockey. The shooting game is fun because you actually use the wii remote like a remote. you point it at things and press a button to shoot. This is a new way to play games, but a slight take off of the classic nintendo duck hunting game.
Design
The design of laser hockey was good because even though they used the idea of old games they put their own new spin on it. The lights and the puck and the paddles were all original. It was very easy for yourself to make the puck in your own goal which is important because in real air hockey this affect can change the game. A two player game like this could be played over and over but has no change in story. You are always trying to make it into the other sides goal. As well you are always trying to stop people from making it into your goal. Perhaps a new twist could make this game better but it is fun anyways.
The shooting game was by far my favorite game. Using the wii remote brought me back to the days of duck hunting. I think that i could play this game over and over again. It is a hard game to start, so it makes you want to keep playing and getting better. The directions weren't very clear when i first played but as soon as i knew the situation i played much better. I think that this game has potential to be a very good game but a few things could be changed. I think that this game could have been better if every time it wasn't just a free for all shoot off. I like the last part where you kill spaceships that are attacking your player and not the others. This was a good new twist but it is only the last part of the competition. I think they should put more element like this in their game and it could be better. Maybe like colored targets or something so you have to watch what you shoot. they attempted this by putting your wii face on targets but they don't explain what your intentions should be before the game starts. One second you are shooting for the other persons pieces and next your trying to save your own. Overall this game design was good but there is room for improvement.
