WiiWare Demo Reviews

As promised earlier I will now review the three WiiWare Demos.

First up is BIT.TRIP BEAT.
BIT.TRIP BEAT is a unique spin on the Music Rythm genre. This time instead of using some Plastic Peripheral you hold the WiiMote on it's side like a games control and tilt it to move a PONG paddle on the screen. Meanwhile a bunch of PONG pellets are coming across the screen. It is your job to hit the pellets back to where they came from. Each one you hit is a note in the 8-bit song. Although it's hard to get used to, it is a fun concept. If you do manage to hit to many notes the music will disappear, along with all the colour, and you have to try and hit the notes to come back into it. Think of it as a last chance moment. If you do however manage to crash out in this section, thats the end of the demo. It's a unique twist on the rythm games which dominate the markets now-a-days, which can't go without a try atleast. So this demo is the perfect opertunity!

Next review is of the longest demo, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a Darklord.
This game is similar to a tower defence game, that being that you have to stop enemies getting from point A to point B by putting stuff inbetween. The difference is that instead of using towers to protect point B, you are protecting the tower by placing floors and putting things in them. It is a really fun demo and probably the one I'd want to pay for the most. But it may not be your cup of tea.

The final WiiWare demo released is NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits.
This game is set in ancient Greece around the legend of Icarus, the kid who created wings to escape an Island. Basically you play as a girl named Nyx who has wing on her back. You are travelling along to find Icarus. It's a rather short demo, and in my opinion the game is wanting to be too much like Lost Winds, which is a superior game. In my opinion its worth a try, but be perpared to be disappointed.
