Go Play Circus Star


I love the Wii Balance Board and it gets a lot of use in this game.

Each player is a circus star doing various feats, winning or losing fans and earning money to unlock new feats and arenas. Some feats are harder than others to figure out how to do, but they are fun and challenging.

After unlocking many feats, this game is really great to use in the practice/training mode at parties. No scores are given but the ringmaster will let you know how you are doing with his rhymes and prose. People take turns and have fun!

I love the knife throwing, rola-bola, monkey dodging, elephant riding, flying silks, trapeze, and the tight-rope is far superior to the one in the Wii-fit.

I don't really care much for the magic act.

The feats load faster than the exercises on the Wii-fit and the UI is easier too. Loads of fun, and I was surprised the next day by how many muscles were hurting after sever hours of play on the balance board.Buy Go Play Circus Star!

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night


I enjoyed this game. But -- After owning and playing Zelda, I guess I am spoiled to the better graphics and much better control handling. Many places in the game, there should have been better target control with flying Spyro, and other game movements. I have this for the Wii Systema and I felt like I was struggling to have efficient control over the character. For one thing, if you miss a vital token, it would be nice to be able to return to previous areas that have been played to replay or retrieved missed items. You can do this in Zelda and it makes for a better game.

It is a nice family created game and I hope they continue with sequels and improving grapics, game control movements, and longer game play. I will purchase the sequels for the Wii. Buy The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night!
