Ford Racing: Off Road on Nintendo Wii

admin | Games, Nintendo Wii | Friday, 28 March 2008

There aren’t many racing games on the Nintendo Wii so there’s definitely a place for Ford Racing: Off Road. The game will be released on PC,PS2 and PSP on May 25th and while the PC version will probably lead the pack in terms of graphics, the game play should be interesting enough in attracting Wii owners.

In the game you’ll be able to drive 18 officially licensed Land Rover and Ford off road vehicles which means the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, the all new Freelander and other powerful off road vehicles. According to ToTheGame acceleration is faster than any previous Ford games and there are other features as well.

With real time, on-the-go vehicle damage repair, acceleration faster than any previous Ford game, and alternative routes. Off Road brings a plethora of new and exclusive features to test players driving prowess at high speed. The racing has never been this exhilarating!

1 . 24 detailed tracks encouraging high speed racing.
2. 3 off road environments, Desert, Water and Ice.
3. Real time, on-the-go damage repair.
4. Discover hidden routes to gain a racing advantage.
5. Power sliding; throw powerful 4×4s around the tracks.
6. In-game pickups: Discover repair pods, time extensions, artefacts & cash.
7. Multi-player racing via split screen (PS2 – 2 players ) and Wi-Fi (PSP – 6 players).
8. 12 race modes: Standard Race, Elimination, Time Attack, Overtake, Slalom, Checkpoint, Checkpoint Sprint, Seconds Out, Gold Rush, Gauntlet, Low Damage Race and Expedition.

Off Road sounds as though it offers some really great features although if it were a racing game and not an off road one it would have to go head to head with NFS: Carbon. But, as far as there aren’t any competitors on Wii in this genre, this game can already be considered as the number one off road game. Let’s just hope that there won’t be any more delays as according to gamershell the release date was initially set as March 21st.

Enjoy the video till the release.

Bully: Scholarship EditionIt’s hard to find games for the Nintendo Wii where you have as much freedom as in games such as in Grand Theft Auto. However, from now on we can definitely can say that there is one. Not surprisingly, the game, Bully: Scholarship Edition, comes from GTA’s Rockstar Games and shares many of the features that made the company famous.

Playing as 15 year-old Jimmy Hopkins, everything begins when you start to attend the Bullworth Academy. Here you can do almost everything — be a good guy and attend lessons or protect nerds form bullies and so on to gain good marks. However, it’s not the only way to climb the academic ladder which is your final goal. You can also achieve a good reputation by beating nerds and skipping lessons as long as the police don’t notice you.

Ironically, lessons aren’t boring and consist of a combination of mini games which are pretty fun to play. Perhaps more fun, however, is the ability to fight with almost everyone. The fighting system is simple and as time progresses you gain more skills which you will need in fightings with multiple guys.

This is one of the few games that received high scores almost from everyone. Here is one by wii nds reviews.

Presentation : 9/10 : Is it a movie ? Oops, it’s already the game.

Graphics : 9/10 : Not a single bug so far. Thank you Rockstar.

Gameplay : 9/10 : Commands are complex, but this makes the fun part of the game : you’ll be able to do almost everything here.

LastingAppeal : 9/10 : Missions are all fun and different.
Overall : 9/10 : Not ready yet to score a 10, but this game is a must-have. It’s really amazing to see the beauty of what can be done with wii games. Competitors, just grab this game and learn from it.

Sky Crawlers Coming To Nintendo Wii

admin | Games, Nintendo Wii | Tuesday, 25 March 2008

There are games that especially cool when you play it on Wii with its controllers. Exactly, I’m speaking about flight games and it’s nice to hear that a flight action game called Sky Crawlers is coming to Wii.

It’s being developed by the same team that made the Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation for Xbox 360 but this time it’ll be released only for Wii and PS2. Although from the latest screenshots it becomes obvious that developers are still as serious about graphics as if it would be for Xbox360. Screens are really unusual for Wii and it seems that Wii console has more potential in terms of graphics. According to QJ.NET Sky Crawlers movie will also be released.

The Sky Crawlers’ novel plot places the audience within an era fraught with airborne conflict, where a group of young pilots fight to survive in a circa-World War II setting alternately branched from world history. But the game adaptation of the movie - both will be simultaneously released.

There is not much info on game details yet but from the video below you will get some extra info.
