the reason people think the wii ran out of games is because nintendo isnt gonna say anything about upcoming games until E3 so it can be a surprise.

u just wait until E3 when theyll announce a new LoZ game

I had high hopes for this title, pre-ordered it a while back and bought it today. I haven't played any of the previous MG games, so my review's based on this alone. The intro sequence was great to start with - atmospheric etc, but after about 20 minutes of movie clips with the odd 2 minutes of gameplay in between (for god's sake, it's even listing the music titles and artists during gameplay) I was getting bored. After the 5th long movie clip started up I went and made a coffee... 5 minutes later I returned and it was still playing. "Did I buy a game, or a pixar movie?!" I wondered at this point.

Finally I appeared in a zone that took more than a minute to complete - actually it took 20 minutes, mostly crawling slowly along attempting to avoid everyone, which is basically impossible - you have to fight your way through despite what the numerous "help screens" tell you (these pop up every couple of minutes, stopping the game to give you advice.) The combat is pretty simple - kill someone, then a radio voice announces it's sending reinforcements, then kill 2 more, then wait, then crawl forward a bit - slowly. Wash, rinse, repeat.

One of the worst aspects of the game (maybe a buggy copy?) is that there's no way to equip things you pick up, including new weapons. Although the dialogue announces that you find a box, or a new gun, cycling through your inventory or weapons cache does not show any new items. So basically, you're stuck with the gun you start with, and a knife, no matter what you find along the way. Maybe this changes later on, but there's nothing to tell you this.

Anyway, after crawling about and watching CGI movies for an hour I'd had enough; I've given the game away to my brother, and going back to GTA4. If you have a choice, I'd go with GTA; it has far more depth, and you actually get to play the game rather than sit there watching a movie.

Ffs, if this is what you hardcore gamers are into these days then im ashamed to even be a gamer its more of a movei ffs. its like 30 mins cutscene then 2 min gameplay and then another 30 min cutscene.

am i missing something? because last time i checked wii already is far ahead of ps3 in console wars and i think wii already won, so whats all this talk about msg4 being the best game ever? 1/3 of the game are cutscenes ffs, if this is what hardcore gamers are into these days then im ashamed to be called a gamer.

ps3 fanboys are gettin pretty coccky now that msg4 came out but so what its abit too late because 360 and wii have already released atleast 5 games that are even better than msg4 e.g halo 3 and ssbb

ffs that number is only for usa halo 3 and gta iv were worldwide release what part of that cant u understand
