What do you think of Rock Band?

Rock Band…..is awesome.  What more is there to say?  I set this game up in the Main Library and people flock to it like it’s a real concert.  You can have up to 4 people playing at a time. (Vocals, bass, guitar, drums)  Lead guitar is the star of the game. Whoever is the best at the game should always play the guitar track or no one will have any fun. The singing is easy to nail you just need to kind of know the words.  But if you want to you could just go “bla bla bla” at close to the right pace and score reasonably well on vocals. Bass is kind of a joke. Expert on bass is like medium on guitar. (and that is why I like to play bass)  One neat feature is, if someone on your team loses it, that band have a chance of saving them before the whole band is kicked off the stage.  Anyway…Rock Band is a great game that is available for most consoles; the only drawback is the hefty price tag that comes with the game.

What do you think of Mario Kart?

Mario Kart Wii Of Course(#1). (To enhance your reading experience I will be numbering all the racing puns I insert into this review).  First off, Mario Kart Wii stays right on track(#2) with what you expect from this long running Nintendo franchise.  If you do not already know Mario Cart is a Cartoon Go-Cart racing game with familiar characters from the Mario world. The game play is fast paced and the special powers to keep the game interesting. It is an easy game to learn to play but once you take off the training wheels(#3) it has a hidden depth that will keep you coming back for more. The addition of Motercycles, wheelies, and jump tricks serve to add nuances to the game and give the more skilled players opportunities to improve their game. Over all Mario Kart Wii is an improvement over the eight previous Mario Kart games. Mario Kart Wii’s improved graphics, game mechanics and the free online play make this one of the games you should have if you own a Wii console.    

What’s going on here?

I recently began hosting game demonstrations during 12:15 Meetings at the Main Branch of the Charlotte/Mecklenburg County Library system.  As a part of this project-o-mine, I plan on posting my thoughts on the different games I demo.  I hope that you enjoy my reviews.
