Review Bunnyz Nintendo DSi Game

The first worry you must perhaps know about Bunnyz the Nintendo DSi game is that this is not a game for ‘real’ gamers. It’s probably not a game for boys, either and the chances are it’s aimed at kids (unless, again, you love the furry animal). As a direct result of its casual focus, and the happening that there are several titles in the Petz range, (ranging back all the way to Dogz and Catz on the PC) there was never misgiving overly it can be frowned upon.

As you can imagine, I went to currently with some inhibitions. I love bunnies, yes, but I don’t love terrible games - that sadly the better part of my judgement warned me this could be. What I discovered was a game that, whilst not as deep as similar games in the genre (*cough*Nintendogs*cough*), it’s still thoroughly entertaining for short periods, taken regularly. At first, I was unsure who they were aiming their at, but it soon changed. It was upon reaching the title screen so I realised this game might not be for adults or boys - I was met -or rather, cuddled - by an image of cartoon bunnies that oozed cute appeal so thick that I was left talking in sugar coated words for the subsequently 3 hours. An even cuter anime-style bunny girl subsequently navigated me in the process of choosing my first bunny from a surprisingly good span of rabbits - 4 colours in 4 several breeds - I came out in Becky, a white Netherland Dwarf rabbit. From there, you’ll go to the hutch, which is where the majority of the game takes place.

Gameplay is fairly basic and is all controlled amid the touch screen. Unlike Nintendogs, there is no voice control, that to some will be a negative point, but to me was a blessing - not every situation permits you to jabber silly instructions in a cutesy voice, let alone at a games console. Your main job is to remain your bunny exultant by petting, brushing, feeding and playing surrounded by it, as vastly as teaching it how to communicate with you. This is completed through a child's mini-game where you touch letters in the correct order to spell a phrase. It’s not difficult but it’s narrower embarrassing as opposed to repeating a line to a microphone a few times.

To get food and toys, as far as new hutch designs and accessories for dressing up your bunny, you play amusing small amount mini-games. These are all touch controlled and include a light-rpg called ‘Monster’, a balancing game, air hockey, and more. They help to break up the periods of teaching your rabbit how to speak or petting it and are all fun in such a own way. The downside is the they only pop up randomly and can be infrequent, and when properties do pop up you can’t select how game you’ll play, or at what difficulty.

In the end, Bunnyz comes out as one of those games which are best played for 30 seconds every day, rather as opposed to for hours on end. It’s not particularly deep or nonetheless realistic (if you can find me a bunny that asks me how I am and reads hello, please get in contact) but what it does do well is submit a fun distraction and a ridiculously cute little digital friend. It’s more often than not quite cheap to buy as well - and it tends to pop up in sales.

My personal recommendation is too this game should be bought for the younger audience and possibly more aimed towards girls (the candy-floss colour scheme significantly suggests it). It’d probably be a good thought to buy this for a child who wants a pet, as a way of seeing how long they stay interest in looking after it…but be sure to warn them in the future of time that real rabbits don’t speak.

As one final note, I’d such as to say that whilst I’ve never played any of the other Petz games on DS, there’s a fair chance they’ll all be similar to the one, but with the animal and settings somewhat tweaked - so use such review as a rough guide if you wish.

What Was Your Best Game For 2008?

Well 2008 has come to a close, so let’s take a look back and see what great games were released, and choose which game has been the best in 2008.

All through 2008 there had been some amazing video game releases on the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but I think the second half of the year was the best. There were heaps of games released and they have kept me and tons of other gamergirls entertained this year.

Here are just a few of the awesome games that have been released in the past year:

Lost Odyssey - I thought this game was fairly good, except the combat of the game wasn’t great. It was one huge game, 4 disks, it will take a long time to get through it all.

Lego Indiana Jones - I am a huge fan of the Lego games, I love them and think they are great fun. Although they are pretty short and can be completed in one day, the way the Lego team creates the game and adds their own humour is brilliant. Lego Batman - This game was really very much the same as Lego Indiana but it's still a brilliant game to play. All for the Lego games so far have been amazingly fun to play, they are great for the whole family to enjoy.

Civilization Revolution - I only played this game a few times on the Xbox 360 but I thought it was brilliant, a lot different from any other Civilization game I've played.

Devil May Cry 4 - I know of a lot of people that have said that this game is great, but I don't really see it. I played the demo on the Xbox 360 and thought, "hmm, a lot of jumping". I thought the game was very repetitive, not my cup of tea.

Mario Kart Wii - Although I am not a great fan of the Mario games, I did like this one. Especially when you have the special Wii steering wheel, it makes the game alot of fun, although its better to play as a group, it's still alot of fun on your own, a must play for Wii lovers.

GRID - I never liked this game, the graphics were very good but because you could rewind time if you crashed, I thought it ruined it.

Burnout Paradise - The only problem with this game is that it's repetitive, you do a lot of races and then get a new license, once you get that license you have to repeat all of the races again, just a little bit harder to get another license. Overall I thought the game was good for a drive around but gets slightly repetitive.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Even though I only played the game a few times , it was great fun when I played it. The basic controls and fast paced game play makes it really fun to play as a party. The ability to jump around as Pikachu is great and rather funny.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Although this game has a lot of movie scenes, which can be rather lengthy, the bit where you get to play are brilliant, I thought the graphics were top notch and the story line great, when you got to play it that is.

Rock Band - Brilliant, I have always loved the Guitar Hero games, but when this was released I just had to get it, I loved the set list and loved the new instruments, awesome game and a must play for any music game lover. Rock Band 2 - This game is brilliant, although it;s basically the same as Rock Band 1, it comes with a wider and more expandable set list, awesome to play and great fun in a group. Guitar Hero World Tour - This game, like with Rock Band is a awesome game, the new instruments were great but I thought the set list really pulled it down, it depends on your taste but I wasn't amazed by it.

Grand Theft Auto 4 - You can't really complain about this game, all of the other GTA's have been outstanding but this one just topped the lot. Outstanding graphics and the ability to change the way the game ends depending on the choices you make just makes it even better. Plus with the addition of new content coming next year, the game just gets deeper and better.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - There was a lot of hype about this game but I personally was not majorly impressed. The whole look and game play of it was awesome but the length of the storyline was not great, plus with no online play, the game was over with a few days.

Left 4 Dead - If you loved games like Counter Strike and Half Life, you will love this, it's made by the same people, Valve, but this time it's based on zombies. You work as a team of 4 people to escape from the city. I particularly like the emphasis the game has on team work and the realistic guns and weapons.

Fable 2 - In one way Fable 2 was great in another it was ok. The whole storyline, new graphics and ability to change the whole game by making one decision is awesome. But the length and difficulty of the game was a let down, I found it to be alot shorter than Fable 1 and it was also alot simpler as you didn't seem to have to kill any major bosses. Although it does have some downsides, I still say it's a great game.

Mirror's Edge - Some people might think that this game is poor, but I don't, I thought it was brilliant, just like Assassins Creed, which I loved. I personally thought that Mirror's Edge was great, the graphics were outstanding and the whole storyline was great, the only downside I found was the cut scenes, they looked really poor to be honest.

Far Cry 2 - There is one major problem with this game, once you start to play, you can't stop for several hours. The whole storyline and ability to change the game as you play is great, plus having to battle with malaria, brings a whole new dimension to the game. You have a great arsenal of weapons plus there are some pretty good features, the ability to start a bush fire to take advantage of your enemies, your guns jam if you pick them up off the ground, your car breaks down after a few crashes. All these things made the game great, on e of the best of 2008.

Call of Duty 5: World of War - This game had a lot to live up to, I don't think it quite achieved that. I personally didn't like CoD5 as much as 4 because it went back to the World Wars. But that aside, the graphics and game play was great, although it didn't live up to CoD4.

All of the games listed above were really fun to play and kept me entertained all year round but it's come to tell you what my game of the year is, although it's a really difficult decision. Although it's a hard decision, I would have to say that Gear of War 2 is my game of the year, simply because of the constant fighting and action, plus with it's great graphics and storyline, it makes it the best game of 2008. What's yours?
