Last weekend Jacob and I purchased two new Wii games. Jacob purchased LEGO Batman: The Videogame and I purchased Pikmin 2.
I had already played the Game Cube versions of Pikmin 1 and 2 on the Wii but did not complete either game, so thought I’d by the Wii “New Play” version and give the game another bash. The game is identical to the GC version except the graphics are better. Some of the menu navigation is just as broken as the GC version, so I was disappointed, as they could have used the pointer of the Wii Remote to tidy this up, but the game is still fun.
LEGO Batman is amazing fun. The Lego nature of the graphics mean you give the game lots of slack as it’s not trying to be life like. The game really does look like everything is made of lego, and the characters are really well animated, with great humor. The game has the feel of the 60’s TV show, with lots of biffo and mindless henchmen running closer just to get punched. Biff! Pow! Wham!
So if you have not played either of the Pikmin games I’d give them a try. But definatly play the Batman game also.
