Guilty Pleasure Games

Do you guys have a list of guilty pleasure games for the Wii. Games that didnt get good reviews but you like anyways.

I have my list. Carnival games is #1 on that. Most people hated it but my wife and kids all play this together a lot and it is a lot of fun.

I also like Raving Rabbids which got Mediocre reviews.

We Ski may fit this. I love this game and I dont have a balance board yet. It doesnt look great but is a lot of fun and I cant wait to try it with the balance board.

Super Swing Season II -- No online play but addictive gameplay with colorful graphics and great fun to play.

Anyone else have their guilty pleasure games for the wii?

Nitrobike - Most people think this game is crap and it basically is but i enjoy it.

Mario Party 8. It might not be the best in the series, but it's a blast to play with friends.

Baroque is one of my favorites. Carnival Games was good too. I also like Hooked! Real motion fishing and play it often.

I enjoy a lot of games that get bad reviews.

Ghost Squad...its simple and repetitive game but loads of fun especially when using the zapper.

ghost squad as well.
also The Barnyard

Yeah, Carnival Games and (here comes the harassment) Petz: Dogz 2!

FronzDan · 05-20-2008, 05:52 PM

Carnival Games and Rapala Fishing.

Is that Dogz game anything like Nintendogs? Speaking of which, when is Nintendo going to release a Nintendogs Wii?

gt pro! after getting excite truck and now mario kart i never touch it. but my bro and i played it often when it first came out. everyone hated that game but i actually liked it. it was challenging and addicting. i think the cartoony graphics and difficulty of driving is what turned people away.

also i like red steel. everyone seems to hate this game too but i felt it wasnt bad. the multi player battle mode was loads of fun to play with others

A little with the ability to monitor your dog's health and get various accessories, but it's more like a Dog RPG game. You choose a dog breed, choose Male/Female, name your dog, and you (your dog) then go on quests and earn money. Also has around 10 mini-games like fishing, racing, soccer, etcetera, but I haven't unlocked most of those yet.

Seems very much like The Dog Island, which just came out in the U.S. (but has been out in Japan for a while). They are both from the same company (Ubisoft), but Petz Dogz 2 only cost me $9.99 from Amazon.

No word on when (and if) Nintendo is going to release Nintendogs for the Wii. I think it was speculated back at the 2006 E3 show, but nothing new since...

seems like carnival games is good, umm i like spiderman 3, and also liked marvel ultimate alliance

cRaSh115 · 05-20-2008, 08:45 PM

Probably my entire game collection. haha

GT Pro Series, Carnival, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Wii Play, and Speed Racer.

Carnival Games and it is so much fun, We had many a drunken party playing this, 4 or 5 players is brill, I also bought all the fishing games that came out as im a bit of a fishing buff, But was disapointed in all of them, Rapala was ok with the different specis to fish for, But the fish fight was utter crap...

Oh and Rayman Raving Rabbids, And Crash Of The titans.

Sounds like Carnival Games is the winner of the guilty pleasure. I always thought the reviews were a little tough on it.

They have a mini golf sequel coming out baed on the Hole in one game. I wish they would add more games myself and more content.

I Actually LOVED Spiderman 3 Even Though The Graphics Were Balls

But The Gameplay Was Brilliant

!
I Also Liked Ghost Sqaud I Thought That Was Fun But I Got Bored After A While...

dean29 · 05-20-2008, 10:26 PM

I also kind of like the Sonic Tennis game. It is lame overall but some of the events were fun. Too bad the tennis part was bad.

I Never Actually Got Playin SEGA Superstars Tennis Surprisingly And I Love Sonic/SEGA Games

Wish I Had Played It I Would Have Maybe Liked It !
I'll Get My Chance

I Liked The Harry Potter Game A Lot Too But Many Other People Liked It Too But There Were Some Complaints...

Such a misleading thread name....

Worms: A Space Oddity.

I love the Worms series and this one got a bad review because of the lack of online and a 50 dollar proce tag on a revamped old game.
Although I agree it was not worth 50 bucks I still spent it because it has been so long since I have played a new "real worms game."
I have Worms Blast and Worms 3D for GameCube but it is nothing like the main franchise.
