Piero’s Wiicross – Review
This game is exactly why Wii Homebrew must exist. It is very well put together. The graphics, although simple, are sharp and fit the function of the game perfectly; the background music is good; the game concept, not original to the Wii i know, is excellent and very easily a satisfying way to spend a few hours. The only downside is that the control scheme that uses the Wiimotes ablity to actually point at the screen is actually hard to use. Thankfully you can adjust the control scheme to use the Wiimote like an old NES controller and it works great that way.
The object of the game may take a little bit of getting used to for some people but when you get the hang of it it is really quite enjoyable. The idea is to discover the hidden picture by using the clues provided on the right side and top of the picture’s grid. Each number represents how many boxes in a row are filled-in in that row or column. If there is more than one number for that row or column than that tells you that there are more than one group of filled-in boxes in the row or column. For example if the numbers for a particular row are 5 and 3 than you know that row has two groups of filled-in boxes in it, one with 5 boxes and one with 3, and those two groups must have at least one blank box between them or else it would be one group of 8. Using the clues given on for both rows and columns you begin to fill things in until the picture is complete. You even have the option to get the game to help you start out each puzzle until you get used to it.
There are lots of puzzles to complete and each puzzle can be redone to try and solve them faster and without help.
This is a must have Wii homebrew game. Go to your homebrew browser and get it right now.
A very solid definitely for this one. (9/10)
