  • Best Wii Games Review Highlights

        • Gamespot Super Mario Galaxy Review 9.5
        • You could probably swap in just about any other characters from practically any other franchise, and this would still be a phenomenally fun game. That it layers all these memorable characters and components on top of that phenomenal design just makes it all the sweeter. If ever there were a must-own Wii game, Super Mario Galaxy is it.
        • 1UP Super Mario Galaxy Review 9.5
        • In short, Galaxy is one of the most impressive, engrossing games in recent memory -- and quite the contrast to the rest of this year's triple-A gaming crop, which tends toward the dark, the M-rated, and the first-person perspective. Gaming may be growing up (per se), but gamers will always appreciate beautifully polished gameplay and inventive design...even if it's sugarcoated with squeaky baby stars and a goofy cartoon of a hero.
        • Gamespot Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure Review 8.5
        • All told, Zack & Wiki is a winner. It might not win you over with its characters or story, but it will with its wonderfully crafted puzzles and sharp control mechanics. It's just the sort of game Wii owners have been pining for, the sort of game that blends accessibility and challenge into one seamless whole, and does it without devolving into yet another minigame collection.
        • 1UP Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros Treasure Review 9.0
        • Thankfully, Zack & Wiki is far more than the sum of its pieces, and it absolutely succeeds despite any minor problems. It's a huge world of wonderful puzzles to solve, with creative approaches to even the most mundane solutions; it's also a big game, and it goes on far longer than even the story would imply (though some people may never beat the last couple stages without assistance).
    • 3. Mahalo's Guide to Resident Evil 4
        • IGN Resident Evil 4 Review 9.0
        • The GCN original scored a 9.8 and the PS2 iteration and 9.5 in 2005. The Wii title is the best of the three, but it also arrives two years later, which is primarily why we've dropped the score. The fact is, while an amazing experience, RE4 does not push Wii in the same way it did GCN or PS2.
        • Gamespot Resident Evil 4 Review 9.1
        • Resident Evil 4 isn't quite as groundbreaking now as it was two years ago when it was first released on the GameCube, but that doesn't make the Wii version any less dazzling. It is undoubtedly the preferred version for anyone who has yet to experience the thrill of climbing up El Gigante's back, and even if you already have had such an experience in the past, this iteration is still most certainly worth playing.
        • 1UP Resident Evil 4 Review 8.0
        • If you've never played this game before, you should first ask yourself, "Why not?" But if you haven't, there are better and cheaper options than this still-good-but-not-as-good-as-the-others version for Wii. And if you have played Resident Evil 4, in all its infested humans-who-are-not-quite-zombies mayhem, then there's still really not much reason to investigate what this version has to offer.
    • 4. Mahalo's Guide to Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
        • IGN Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Review 9.5
        • We rated the original Metroid Prime a 9.8 on GameCube and had Corruption been the first game in the series it'd have been worthy of the same score. As it stands, Samus Aran's latest adventure is a spectacular must-own experience and one of Wii's defining games. Stop reading and buy it.

        • Gamespot Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Review 8.5
        • It's got exactly what you would expect from the last in an acclaimed trilogy of titles: great boss battles, involved environmental puzzles, and a smooth control scheme that cements exactly how FPS controls should work on the platform. It'll also keep you busy for a while, since you can earn tokens for completing various tasks and use them to purchase unlockable goodies like concept art and bumper stickers for Samus' ship.
        • 1UP Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Review 9.0
        • On the whole, Corruption takes advantage of the Wii's biggest strength (with its unique controls), and minimizes its greatest weakness (through astounding art direction), while otherwise maintaining or improving upon the high standards and overall polish the series is known for. No predictions for six years down the road this time, just one for this fall: load a fresh pair of batteries into the controller, dust off the Wii, and surrender a week of your life to Corruption -- you won't be sorry.
    • 5. Mahalo's Guide to WarioWare: Smooth Moves
        • IGN WarioWare: Smooth Moves Review 8.2
        • It's not perfect, it isn't the best in the series, but WarioWare: Smooth Moves is an essential piece of the Wii collection, as it's as much fun ripping through it in single player adventures as it is to shove the controller off on unsuspecting houseguests or non-gamers months and years down the road.
        • Gamespot WarioWare: Smooth Moves Review 9.1
        • The WarioWare series has never come at a more perfect time. With the Wii just getting established, a game that shows off the range of motions you can accomplish with the Wii Remote is a perfect companion. But it's more than just a demonstration of the Wii's technology; it's also a terrifically charming, funny, and nefariously addictive game that you can play alone.
        • 1UP WarioWare: Smooth Moves Review 8.0
        • Smooth Moves is hardly the only game of its kind on Nintendo's infant console. It lacks the eye-popping unpredictability of its predecessors. And fumbling to conform to some of the more arcane controller positions can take you right out of the game. Despite these modest shortcomings, though, WarioWare should be a welcome addition to any Wii library.
    • 6. Mahalo's Guide to Super Paper Mario
        • IGN Super Paper Mario Review 8.9
        • These gripes keep Super Paper Mario from becoming a truly masterful endeavor, but they don't stop us from recommending it as a must-buy for any Nintendo fan.
        • Gamespot Super Paper Mario Review 8.8
        • Though the minor camera and pacing issues as well as the underwhelming audio keep the game from being a totally polished experience, there's plenty to appreciate. Super Paper Mario's humorous story, accessible gameplay, inventive design, cool visual style, and impressive amount of content give it an undeniable charm. Anyone with a Wii should check it out.
        • 1UP Super Paper Mario Review 8.0
        • So while it's far from the platforming/role-playing godsend that some Nintendo fans expected, Super Paper Mario still qualifies as a must-play for any Wii owner. It's creative, fun, and perhaps most importantly, funny. Quality localizations rarely get the credit they deserve, and the crew at Nintendo of America should be congratulated for penning one of the most laugh-out-loud funny scripts in recent memory.
    • 7. Mahalo's Guide to Trauma Center: New Blood
        • IGN Trauma Center: New Blood Review 8.5
        • Games like New Blood fit the Wii almost perfectly, and even after blowing through two full games during the system's first year we're still asking for more, as there's simply no denying the franchise's motion/IR appeal.
        • Gamespot Traum Center: New Blood Review
        • Trauma Center: New Blood is a successful operation. Even though the dialogue is insipid and some of the procedures are frustrating, this game combines signature surgical gameplay with a double dose of challenge and great cooperative play for a trip to the hospital you won't require painkillers to enjoy.
        • 1UP Trauma Center: New Blood Review 5.0
        • New Blood may hold some appeal for those with masochistic streaks and the patience for insane difficulty spikes, but after seeing fellow reviewers Jeremy and EGM managing editor Jennifer Tsao constantly frustrated by the game's controls, I can't see how the average gamer will have much fun playing doctor. It's been two years since the original Trauma Center, and the franchise can't forever rely on the crutch of being "innovative."
