This is the box art for the game, “Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquilityâ€
Summary:
Jump into the wild life, where everything seems realistic! This game is by far one of the largest Harvest Moon games ever to hit the shelves so far! Each day is a new adventure, and you will never know what will happen next!
Living on a Ranch:
At the beginning of the game, you will get to choose from 3 different locations on where you would like to place your house! Of course, it starts off rather difficult to make any money. There are luckily many ways to make money on your ranch. You can grow, produce, and raise many types of crops. You can raise many animals on your farm too, as well as expand your farm to many locations to grow more, and raise more livestock! Not only that, but you can do many different things with the vegetables, fruits, and products being produced on your farm!
Planting Crops:
Planting crops is rather similar from the other games. Each season there is a...

Opening Thoughts
This game is magnificent. Really is probably the best game I've played on the Wii. It features intuitive controls, great gameplay, two good ways to get your competitive gaming in, all in one, family friendly game. It features all of the characters we loved from the Mario series, like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Peach, Bowser, you get the picture. But it also has a decent amount of spinoff characters, like Funky Kong, the Baby characters. It also even features the little villains that usually aren't portrayed majorly in games, such as Dry Bones and Koopa Troopa. The Mario Kart Channel is awesome, seeing time trials and tournaments really help this game be, in my opinion, the best WiFi Wii game to date. But the main reason the game gets that title from me, is the actual racing online aspect of it. 12 players all over the world with no lag is simply amazing, since Nintendo can't handle a regional game with 4 players in Brawl without it lagging up a storm. Also, this...
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquilty takes place on a foreign island named Waffle Island. It is here that the 5 magic rainbows have disappeared and the Goddess Tree has died, and along with that, the weakening of the Harvest Goddess. One day a lone rancher moves to the island and it's up to that rancher to restore the rainbows, the island, and save the Harvest Goddess.
Play as either a male or a female as you start out fresh in this new land. Choose between three different house plots to live at. (Hilltop, Seaside, or Town) Either way, it's now up to you to start to cultivate the land and work to build and make the best farm ever.
Along the way you'll make friends, raise animals, befriend wild animals, participate in many mini games, and maybe even get married and start a family. All with the ultimate goal though, to save the Goddess Tree and save the Harvest Goddess.
As you progress in the story, more people will move to the island such as potential bachelors and bachellorettes, new stores, and brand...
T he Good
- Good music for the majority of areas.
- Large fields and many villages to explore.
- Advanced swordplay, more fun the the simple hack and slash of other Zelda titles.
- Bosses are well drawn out, a bit challenging at times with few bosses.
- Sidequests take a lot of time to complete, making the game more fun.
T he Bad
- Heart pieces and Poe souls are found too often, not very hidden.
- Objectives that have to be done in wolf form are boring at times.
- Aside from an occasional challenge with boss battles, most were very easy, not even harming some new players.
- Items become useless after passing through temple it was acquired in.
- Twilight. You were forced to go into three or four places covered in twilight. All you did was look for bugs as a wolf. Boring.
I'll start off by saying this, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is not a real wii game, it is a Gamecube port, the game was announced at E3 at around 2004/2005, but the release was delayed until late '06....
Star Wars: Force Unleashed gave an incredible first impression, even as a Star Wars game but more time on the game would have made it a lot better! That's not to say though that it isn't a good game, it's a great game but there are some minor and major let downs of it though.
-Graphics:
The graphics for TFU are really detailed, from the level design to the ships to the characters. The only let down of it is that the game play graphics are better than the cinematic graphics. [4.0 out of 5]
-Game Play:
Who wouldn't like a Wii game where you can utilize the Wiimote as a lightsaber where you move the lightsaber and the characters lightsaber moves the same way. That's what the initial thought was when this game was first announced but what we got was little gestures with the Wiimote from moving left to right, right to left, stab, uppercut and downward cut.
But apart from the lightsaber mechanics, the force in the game is WONDERFUL! Who wouldn't love a game where you can choke and electrocute a...
The second Star Wars game makes a decent debut on the Nintendo Wii. There has been a lot of talk about this game, and for the most part, it deliver an entertaining experience although there are some issues that keep this game from being the best Wii title thus far.
Graphics: The graphics in this game, in some ways, remind me of those in recent Sim City games, especially the people. These graphics will not create a sense of wonder and awe, but there aren't lousy either. I like the multiple cut scenes in this game, and I thought they were very well done. My main issues are with the camera angles. First, there is no way to manually change it. In the heat of battle, you may want to see where enemies are, but the camera can sometimes be stuck on a close up of the main character. There is a first person perspective mode, but this is useless since it is only to look around the area.
This can make it frustrating fighting multiple enemies when the camera won't swing around to the angle you want it. Overall the...
No more heroes has been out for a while now. However I only recently picked it up after my xbox broke. Let me tell you for the cheap price you can get it for now this is no bottom of the bucket game. The controls are so great. This isn't the typical Wii waggle fest. A attack b does stun moves and follow the directions on screen does special. Simple to use and feels pretty good to use also.
My personal favorite part of the game would the amount of customiztion you can do. From changing every part of Travis's clothes to his weapon, to renting movies to watch this game lets you change almost everything you want to. And it's great to do and extremely fun to deck out your character in many different ways, and is a breath of fresh air from many of the shallow third party games on wii. The level of customaztion is better then GTA IV's.
Another part of the game that gets you into are the boss battles. Now this is great as most of the foot soilders are bland. The boss battles have insane difficulties and are...
Resident Evil was a groundbreaking game that was released back in 1997. It made up a brand new game type, survival horror, which is just as it sounds, you have to survive in a horror game. It came under scrutiny for having excesses of violence and gore, while gaming critics hated the horrible voice acting. But it gained a great following and spawned many different sequels and even a prequel. Then Capcom did the unthinkable, ditched Umbrella, and made an action game titled Resident Evil 4. It had no connection to the original storyline, and made the game more of a casual affair. Now while Capcom puts the finishing touches on another action game, Resident Evil 5, they give the Wii this little treasure to fans, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles.
The story is simple, you play through Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 1 (or the remake), Resident Evil 3, and a new story. In other words, the games that had the most to do with Umbrella. While you play through the story, you get different scenarios from...
