Today's installment of our buyer's guide features a hotly anticipated Wii FPS game, and an "under the radar" Dragon Quest spinoff.

The 2007 Wii and DS Buyer's Guide: Part 3


Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (Wii)

With the obvious implications for FPS controls, Wii fans have waited since the console's launch for a truly great First Person Shooter game. They got some decent efforts with Red Steel and a few of the ports, yet they had to wait for Retro Studio's masterpiece to really experience First Person Adventure on Wii.

Selling Points:

Excellent controls. The game feels like a million bucks to play.

Amazing gameplay. If you love the modern Metroid titles, you'll be in heaven with this one.

Beautiful, gorgeous art direction. This game is a feast for the eyes.

Interesting "achievement" type system that uses Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.

Potential Drawbacks:

This game may not be suited for those who must blast stuff every few seconds. You know, morons.

Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime (DS):

Beware the "this looks like a kiddie game!!!" syndrome. So many great games are avoided by American gamers because the Japanese art direction makes the game look like a kid's title. Rocket Slime is a great example of this: ignored by adults, the game is a bit obscure. Yet contained within is a wonderful platformer/RPG/Strategy hybrid.

Selling Points:

Delightful, fun game. Brims with personality.
Strategy segments are madly addictive.
Platforming action is clever and well designed.

Potential Drawbacks:

Takes a bit to get going.
Graphics and sound may annoy some that don't like things too "bright" and "bouncy."
