REVIEW: GT-Pro Series

The is the first racing game I have played on the Wii and I have to say, this one is fun. I loved Gran Turismo Atype 3 so this one is great, the toon shading does notdetract from it, but the upgrades you get in this game are more ricer/poser types than preformace types like in GT3A. Blue headlamps is an upgrade? oh come on, where is the skyhook wing and neon? Racing is fun, you can draft cars for more speed and the cars actually handle differently. some you wil absolutely hate to drive but are required for a race (like the itty bitty pickup, it steers like a boat) I had a blast on this one, so much so that 5 hours went by before I knew it and I was still having fun.

I give this game 5 stars, it's well worth it, very entertaining and challenging.

REVIEW:Spongebob Squarepants creature from the crusty crab

Ok, I had low expectations going in, this is a kids game. but I was suprised at how little effort was put into the game even for a kids game. The animations are cyclic and pretty darn bad, The lip sync was not even close on the characters and honestly the effort put in for the 3d models was incredibly bad, PS1 quality at best. This game is fun for a kid, very easy and they do not get killed off right away. from 5-8 yeas old I reccomend this game, but certianyl do not pay full retail for it. This is a $19.95 quality game. No effort was put into the quality, gameplay is decent with a few frustrations going on some of the controls.

I give this game 2 stars, certianly get it for your little kid but do not in any way pay full price for it, THQ games phoned this one in and do not deserve to be paid full price for it.
