Board Gamer (Wii)
We all love Mario in our house. And on a rare occasion, we dig out the old Monopoly board for a round of tears and tantrums (and that's just me.) So the chance to play a game that's a mixture of the two was greeted with whoops of excitement.
It's a pity that the end result is dodgier than Donald Trump's hairstyle. The graphics are passable, the mini-games (the best part of this) are few and far between and it sadly commits the cardinal sin of video games -- it's just so boring.
We wanted to like it, we tried to like it, but unfortunately Boom Street didn't shake the room.

With so many different perspectives it can be hard to know where to start - a little like walking into a crowded pub. Sorry about that. But so far we've not found a way to streamline our review output - there's basically too much of it. So, rather than dilute things for newcomers we have decided to live with the hubbub while helping new readers find the columnists they will enjoy. |
