Character Battle!

Character battle time!
Well...
I''ve never done one of these, so heres how it works!

I will get a hat of 10 characters from videogames on this day. Then I'm going to pick 4 to stay in. Then those 3 of those four are going to be out, thus leaving one winner.

The contenders are:
Goombella
Larry
Fawful
Koopa Troopa
Mii
Pac-Man
Sonic
Kazooie
Mr. Patch
Lugia

Give me some time to make the names, and find the perfect hat. (P.S, I'm just using a random generator online)

One finalist is Larry!
Another is Goombella!
Then Pacman!
And finally....Mii

Now to do the elimination, I'm going to get a random number generator. And set it between 1 and 4. If it gets 1, Larry is out, If it gets 2, Goombella is out, If it gets 3, Pacman is out, and if it gets 4, Mii is out.

Larry is out!

Goombella-1
Pacman-2
Mii-3

Pacman is out!

Goombella-1
Mii-2

Mii is out! Goombella won!

Goombella gets a story about her coming out tomorrow.

Off Topic Music Thingy

(Bad capitalization but who cares!)

>Taio Cruz bought some illegal Dynamite then Kesha stole his watch and watched it go Tick Tock then Bruno Mars stole it and threw a Grenade at her which missed and hit Willow Smith whose hair whipped. That scared Emniem so he said I’m Not Afraid to himself. Then Cee-Lo said Forget You to Emniem. Then Avril Lavinge was like, what the hell. Then Katy Perry saw that Avril cursed so she exploded like a firework. Then the Black Eyed Peas got a feeling that the world was gonna end. Then Justin Bieber was like oh Baby, I wish the world didn’t end. Then Rebecca Black woke up and she said it was just a dream and got ready for Friday.

Super Mario Galaxy Review

I reviewed Super Mario Galaxy 2! Now I'm reviewing the game before that!

Presentation:
There are a ton of galaxies to explore. And I mean a ton. And they were all very fun. Hard. But fun. I thought that the comets added some variety too. I give this an 100.

Sound:
A great soundtrack full of epic choruses, nostalgic themes and a whole bunch more. Sound effects are lovely too. I give this an 100.

Graphics:
Very good graphics. The galaxies are all very clean. These are probably the best Wii graphics ever. I really liked these. I give this an 100.

Gameplay:
I like the gameplay here much more than 64 and Sunshine (I'm probably never going to review those games, they're just too outdated). Because Super Mario Galaxy has more of a linear style than a sandbox style. I like the linear style because it's super easy to find out where you're going. Unlike the sandbox which is confusing and makes the game unfun to play. I give this an 100.

Preservation:
There is a story mode, and afterwards you can collect the rest of the stars. And something about that is very compelling. And after that you can play as Luigi, who is just like Mario but harder to control. So in the end I'm going to give this a 99

Overall:
In the end it was so close. I rounded it up. And guess what. It gets a perfect 100. Second time on Flagpole X history. This is the second best Mario game to date.

Face Raiders Review

You might have seen that I've been doing reviews more often. Why? I don't know. But this is the only game where you can shoot anybody in the face!

Presentation:
The number of faces you can choose is nearly endless. But the limited modes keep this from getting the highest score. I give this an 82.

Sound:
Pretty great soundtrack here. A slapstick, upbeat fun track. The final level music is more epic than pizza pie. I give this a 90.

Graphics:
Since it takes place in the real world it must have good graphics. Well no. The graphics are sort of choppy and not good. The .3 megapixel camera doesn't give the best quality either. Yes, I said .3 megapixel not 3 megapixel .3, I give this a 40.

Gameplay:
The basic gameplay is shootin' yourself in da face! (yeah...of course you would want to do that) The game is addictive and fun. Not Angry Birds addictive, but addictive enough that you'll keep playing. The levels are a fair amount of difficulty. I give this a 75.

Preservation:
Now after you're done playing this game. You probably won't want to play this again, much like the other pre-installed game of the 3DS (even though the in-reviewing one is way better), but it is more addictive. So I'm giving this a 50.

Overall:
This game is good for a tech demo. But isn't good for a fun, addicting game. But it came with the 3DS, so I'm going to be fair and give this a fair 67.

Just Dance 2 Review

Before I start this review, I'd like to say that this game is very memorable because I play it with my family a lot. And I mean a lot. I have two cousins who play it with me. But since no categories judge memory, I'm adding 5 points because this is a very memorable game to me. And it's the sequel to the first game I've ever reviewed.

Presentation:
There are 44 songs in this game. And not one was bad. The original had some songs that were bad. But this one had a great mix of great songs. And you can download more. So I give this a 95.

Sound:
This is where the game is great. The sound. The music is perfect. Sound quality is excellent. I have no choice but to give this an 100.

Graphics:
Everybody complains about how the graphics are bland and unrealistic. But these graphics are what the creators wanted to do. But they aren't the best. So I'm going to give this a 90 for fair measure.

Gameplay:
Even a 1 year old can understand it. It's very easy. You mimic the dancer on the screen. And well...that's it. Some moves are lame, some moves are fun and some moves are crazy. I think it's a very good concept. Unlike Dance Dance Revolution which is basically moving your feet up, right, down, left. I did wish they had leg straps that recognized your legs, but they are coming out with Just Dance 3 for Kinect. I give this an 100.

Preservation:
This is a game that is very replayable unlike the first Just Dance. Mainly because this one has better songs, more modes and downloadable content. But some of the modes are bad. So I'm going to give this a 90.

Overall:
Now this came out strange. I had an average of 95. So that would mean that I would give this game an 100. But I feel it doesn't deserve an 100 or a 95. So for the first time ever. I'm not averaging. And giving my score on this game. And I give a 90.

PokePark Wii Review

Pokemon do battles, Pokemon do contests and Pokemon are pets. Now they do...Minigames!

Presentation:
There are 8 zones to explore. But I'm only going to talk about 5. There is the Meadow Zone, Lava Zone, Beach Zone, Iceberg Zone and Cavern Zone. And they are all fun to explore. But the amount of minigames (or "attractions", as the game calls them) will leave you wondering. This gets a 85.

Sound:
Pretty good tunes. But more of background music than a tune you'll hear though. The "attraction" themes are very nice too. I give this a 75.

Graphics:
You know what. These are excellent graphics. The landscapes, Pokemon and the attractions are beautiful. But if I gave these an 100 I'd feel like I'd be lying. So I give this a 90.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is varied. It's basic goal is that you have to save this stupid meadow because a asteroid is going to fall on it. Okay. Maybe that wasn't the story but is a good analogy. And why was a mouse chosen to save the world. I'd be expecting somebody like Sycther. Anyways I hate games that overuse motion controls. But this game UNDERUSES motion controls. There is only 1 motion control in this game. And that's shaking to do your iron tail. But the most important part is the fun factor. Yes It's funnest for kids who are under 13. But parents will enjoy it due to it's non-violent and cute atmosphere. But teenagers might not enjoy it due to it being too "kiddy". But I enjoyed it. So I give it a 70.

Preservation:
Yeah. I beat this game in about 5 or 4 hours without including breaks. Then you can make friends...if you really want to. The most lasting thing in the game are attractions. And they'll last you until you find a new game. I give this a 20.

Overall:
The main problem about this game is that older kids might not find appeal in it. But for younger kids it's a great game. So I'm judging this one my point of view. And it gets a 68 with the title of "OK".
