Medieval Games - Nintendo Wii

I could not wait for a review for this game & paid the price. Do yourself a favor & rent this one first! Most of the mini games are funny & entertaining to watch, but the play control on most of them is lacking. When you try to move your jousting lance, there is severe delay between moving the Wiimote & what happens on screen. When you battle another character, you swing your sword 3 or 4 times, but the on screen character only swings once. Very fustrating. Also waiting for the computer controlled characters to take their turns on the game board is not fun. No matter what you play, there are always 2-4 characters involved & this can be a pain, especially in the target games were you have 4 cursors flying aroung the screen trying to hit the same targets. There is some great humor to be had here while trying to catch pigs or being attacked by a killer squirrel (with a huge nod to the killer rabbit from Monty Python fame), but overall these moments just are not enough to save the game from the poor control issues.

fun for me even better for my grandkids. There are 4 of them and this is best played with a group. Frustrating for a single player or 2 to wait for the computer to play its turns. The computer often wins and cannot be opted to not play.

poor graphics, lost my patience with it in less than an hour. i tried and my 10 yr old stepson both lost interest. waste of money, will trade it for something else right away.
