GN Version 3.1

Cursed Mountain - Singleplayer: 82 (Controls: 78 | Graphics: 84 | Sound: 86)
+ absolutely no load-times during a chapter
+ high quality (german) localization
+ tight atmosphere
- “slow” pacing, sluggish controls

Rygar - The Battle of Argus Singleplayer: 58 (Controls: 68 | Graphics: 64 | Sound: 71)
+ nice weapon concept
- ancient tech
- little variety
- new packaging, old content

Dragon Quest IX - Multiplayer: 90 | Singleplayer: 90 (Controls: 88 | Graphics: 90 | Sound: 89)
+ beautiful anime-graphics
+ no random battles
+ interesting story
- user-created characters too interchangable

MOON - Singleplayer: 78 (Controls: 79 | Graphics: 89 | Sound: 82)
bottom line: sci-fi advanture with future-proof visuals, oldschool gameplay and just the right atmosphere

Wii Sports Resort - Multiplayer: 86 | Singleplayer: 68 (Controls: 68 | Graphics: 63 | Sound: 70)
+ easy to pick up, yet still some depth in gameplay
+ stamps are motivating
+ technically simplistic but fitting style
- only one game supports 4 players simultaneously
