Thanks Mazdaboi,

I will have to check it out. Last time a looked in my Blockbuster, they still didn't have any Wii games for rent. Maybe it's just the fact that my 'smallish' local one is a bit pants.

it's actually a pretty straightforward game with solid controls. thing is, the story really isn't for some people. i bought it after reading dozens of stellar reviews on it, but i ended up trading it in after a few hours of play.

so yes, definitely worth a rent, and a purchase if it ends up being your type of game.

I've rented it

Depends, Fire Emblem is a strategic game of luck and skill mixed in with a solid story line which caves itself in with an ending i wish i hadn't seen do to some dissapointing comments in the credits, but still worth my buy.

No More Heroes is almost like an RPG and you will probably feel like you've been plunged into a futristic hyrule with different characters then link and his pals.

All in all if your a Fire Emblem series fan, it's a must buy, if not the whole game will be slitely confusing because the learning curve just grew largly. No more heroes is close to an RPG with a learning curve of it's own.

Stratagy Game With Luck And Skill With a Strong Learning Curve Or Smaal One Depending On Your Experiance, And A Good Replay Value = Fire Emblem

RPG Game With Nice Graphics, A Great Plot, And A Medium Learning Curve, Nice Smooth Controls, And Moderatley Bad Replay Value = No More Heroes

If you like RTS games, buy Fire Emblem.

No More Heroes is a rent from me.

Um

I, personally, would not get Fire Emblem if you like to accomplish 100% completion, as when party members die, they does not return AND getting a 5 star rating on all strategy is as close to impossible as you will ever attempt.

I played Fire Emblem yesterday, and I do not like it.

I bought No more Heroes today, and I'm addicted.

Thanks guys.

Ugh I don't know wether I should get Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy or Wii Fit!

Mario Kart looks great, but I don't like the super high luck factor. I think I would get frustrated.

Super Mario Galaxy has had great reviews and stuff, and it looks cool. But I think it's a game you play once and then maybe after 6 months or so again.

Wii fit also looks fun and the balance board is a good investement, but let's face it, it's like Wii sports, you play it for 2 weeks and then it becomes boring.

mario kart = even with the high luck factor, the online is hella addicting (i just ended a 2 hour session xD), and there are plenty of unlockable characters and vehicles to keep you busy

galaxy = ehh. imo, it's overhyped. unless you're a die-hard mario fan, this game is probably just worth a rent. i beat the game in the same weekend i bought it, and i've only really played it every few weeks or so.

wii fit = from the looks of it, it looks promising. can't say much about it though, other than i'd definitely buy it if i had the money

so for now, i'd recommend mario kart.
