The Sims 3 For The Wii

The Sims 3 is the third version of a history of Sims games from Maxis. Now made by EA (Entertainment Arts) Games, The Sims is a fun simulation game where you have to take care of people called Sims. This means... food, toliet visits, sleep, and even chatting with pals all while raising a family and working a job. The Sims is usually for the PC, but occasionally will produce version for handheld (Like the Nintendo DS or PSP) and TV video game systems (Like the Wii, XBOX, Playstation 3). This version of The Sims 3 came out to the USA on November 16, 2010.

FUN: Like Harvest Moon, if you like simulation games, you will love this game. If not, just don't play. It's fun taking care of Sims and make them do things. Let's just leave it like that. I rate FUN - 1.

REPLAY: No replay value. As long as you keep a family member in the game, it won't end. Once everyone dies, the game ends. I rate REPLAY - 0.

STORY: Let's face it... there is no story in the game besides what you do with your Sims. I rate STORY - 0.5.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: One major difference is the fact that you use your control stick to move your Sims. Another difference is Karma Powers. Other than those two, it's pretty much the same game on the PC. I rate DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 1.

DIFFICULTY: Besides needed to take care of the Sims Needs, it not that hard. I rate DIFFICULTY - 1.5.

TOTAL - 4.

There you have it. A latest new game from Nintendo, rated by The Nintendo Rater. Thank You & Good Night!

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time For N64



The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth Zelda game in the series. This is the first Zelda game for the Nintendo 64. Ocarina of Time was released in North America on November 23, 1998. Nintendo sold 7.6 million copies worldwide. The game was also re-released on both the Gamecube & Wii systems. On top of that, there will soon be a remake of the game on the Nintendo 3DS. In the gaming edition of Guinness World Records 2010, Ocarina of Time holds the world record of being the most critically acclaimed game of all time.

FUN: First of all, you play a magical ocarina. That's the main part of the game that really fun. You also get a horse to ride on named Epona. It's also fun to move around in a 3D world. However, the only problem was the fact of the annoying fairy named Navi. I rate FUN - 1.5.

REPLAY: Let's face it... the Zelda games don't have any replay value. I rate REPLAY - 0.

STORY: Link, the Kokiri without a fairy, later finds out that he the chosen one to defeat a evil named Ganondorf. Link would be needing to gather the three elemental stones and later tokens from sages Link wakes up. After pulling the Master Sword from the Temple of Time, Link ages seven years. With the help of a mystery person named Sheik, Link travels around Hyrule to awaken the trapped sages. We also find out that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf each have a piece of the Triforce. Link has courage, Zelda has wisdom, and Ganondorf has power. I rate STORY - 2.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: The game is the first one to use play note by note buttons for the ocarina. It also began the two characters Ganondorf and Sheik. This game started the whole Ganondorf equals Ganon business. This game also explains the holders of the three parts of the Triforce. Ocarina of Time added a whole new travel companion, Epona the horse. Also the fact that there were three girls that like Link instead of just Zelda. The other two girls were Saria the Kokiri and Malon the farm girl. Of course the big introduction was the annoying fairy, Navi, who kept saying 'Hey! Listen!' at bad times and also over and over again. I rate DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL - 2.

DIFFICULTY: I can go half and half on this. Some parts are easy and the other parts are hard. It all depends on the person who's playing. I'll leave it up to you. Comment on this, I really want to hear you guys opinion. Until then, I rate DIFFICULTY - 1.

TOTAL - 6.5

There you have it... that's my rating of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Even though this is my favorite 3D Zelda game, I still rated it fairly and by the topics I picked out for this blog. Thank you and keep reading.

Pokemon Yellow For GB


Pokemon Yellow Is A Game Boy Game Made By Game Freak. Game Freak Makes All The Pokemon Games For Nintendo. Pokemon Yellow Is The Third Pokemon Game Made In North America. Yellow Came Out In North America On October 1, 1999.

FUN: Like The Rest Of The Pokemon Series, It's A RPG. It's Fun To Collect, Train, & Battle With Pokemon. If Your Favorite Pokemon Is Pikachu, Then This Is The Game For You. I Can't Really Word Any More Than That. I Rate Fun 1.

REPLAY: After You Beat The Elite Four, The Game Will Play The Credits & Place You Back In Your Home Town. There, You Can Try & Beat The Elite Four Again Or Try To Collect Every Single Pokemon. Another Thing That Changes After You Beat The Game Is That A Certain Area Opens Up For You To Explore. In That Area Is A Pokemon Called Mewtwo. I Rate Replay 1.5.

STORY: You Play As Ash Ketchum (Or Any Name They Choose). When You Start The Game, You Receive Pikachu As Your Starter Pokemon. You Travel All Over Kanto, Battling Gym Leaders, Pokemon Trainers, & Team Rocket Before Heading To The Elite Four To Become The Pokemon Champion. I Rate Story 1.5.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: This Is The Only Pokemon Game In The Series That You Start With Pikachu. Yellow Is The First Pokemon Game That Is A Mix Between The First Two Pokemon Games (Red & Blue = Yellow, Gold & Silver = Crystal, Ruby & Sapphire = Emerald, Etc.). In Pokemon Yellow, You Are Able To Get The Three Starter Pokemon From People In The Game. Jessie, James, & Meowth (Team Rocket) Is In This Game. I Rate Difference/Original 2.

DIFFICULTY: This Game Is Not Really Difficult, Just Different. Instead Of Picking A Fire, Water, Or Grass Pokemon To Start With, You Start With An Electric Pokemon. I Will Admit That The First Gym Leader Will Be Hard & Some Others Will Be Troublesome, But It's Not Impossible. I Rate Difficulty 2.

TOTAL - 8.

There You Have It. That's The Score From The Nintendo Rater. Thank You & Visit Soon.

Chrono Trigger For SNES


Chrono Trigger Is A Super Nintendo Game Made By Squaresoft. Squaresoft Is The Same Maker As The Final Fantasy. Squaresoft Is Now Known As Square Enix, But It's The Same Company. Chrono Trigger Is Another RPG From The Company.

FUN: In My Opinion, Chrono Trigger Is The Best RPG EVER! Let's Face It... Square Enix Makes Fantasic RPG. The Moves & Reactions That The Characters Have Is Just Funny As All Get Out. Also, Being Able To Travel Through Time Is So Cool! The Music Is Also Pretty Sweet Too. The Battles Are Fun To Play As Well As Watch. I Rate Fun 2.

REPLAY: Chrono Trigger Has A Neat Feature After You Beat The Game Called NEW GAME +. This Feature Allows The Player To Play The Game Again Using The Levels That The Characters Are At When You Beat The Game. Example: Chrono Was At LV 45 When You Beat The Game. Once You Press NEW GAME +, Chrono Starts The Game At LV 45. Along With Playing The Game Over Again With Old Levels, There Are New Feature Scattered Throughout The Game. However, It's Pretty Much The Same Game. I Rate Replay 1.8.

STORY: It All Starts Off With Chrono (Or Any Five Letter Name) Heading Off To The Town Festival In Town Square. When He Gets There, He Runs Into A Girl His Age. She Calls Herself Marle. Both Chrono & Marle Heads Over To Watch Chrono's Friend's Invention In Working Order. The Invention Is A Teleporter Pad. When Marle Offers Her Help & Steps Onto The Pad. However, Marle's Necklace Creates A Worm Hole That Sends Her Into The Past. Chrono Figures That She Was His Duty To Bring Her Back & Jump Into The Worm Hole. I Rate Story 2.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: In The Battles, The Enemies Attack When They Are Able To & Every Five To Twenty-Five Seconds. The Main Character Is Named Chrono & Travels Through Time. Get It? Chrono As In Chronology? Chronology Is The Study Of A Series Of Events, Which The Main Character, Chrono, Has To Deal With Through Time. I Rate Difference/Original 1.

DIFFICULTY: This Game Is A Bit Hard, But Not Impossible. Enemies Will Attack You Randomly. It Hard To Stay Alive In A Very Long Game. Well... Only If You Are A Greenhorn (Beginner). Other Than That, It's Not Really Hard. I Rate Difficulty 1.

TOTAL - 7.8

Well... There You Have It. The Nintendo Rater Rates Again! Thank You & Visit Soon.

Link's Awakening For GBC & GB


Zelda: Link's Awakening Is The First Zelda Game For The Game Boy. It Is Made By Nintendo. Not Only Was Link's Awakening For The Game Boy, But Nintendo Remade It For The Game Boy Color As Well. This Game Came Before Zelda's Two Part Games Ages & Seasons, But It Also Came Before Ocarina Of Time For The N64.

FUN: Let's Face It... The Fun Never Ends In This Game. Link's Awakening Was The First Portable Zelda Game Ever Made. It Has Eight Dungeons Each With There Own Keys. Some May Not, But You Have To Go Through A Series Of Events To Get To It. It's Also Fun To Explore The Whole Island. I Rate Fun 2.

REPLAY: Like A Lot Of Zelda Games, There's Little Replay Value In It. You Could Play The Game Again Just To Try & See If You Miss Anything Or Didn't Get Something, But Other Than That, Zilch. I Rate Replay 0.5.

STORY: It All Started When Link Was Traveling On A Sail Boat, Looking For Unknown Lands, When It Started To Storm. This Storm Had Lightning & As The Storm Got Stronger, A Lightning Bolt Struck Our Tunic Wearing Hero's Boat. Link Washes Up Onto A Beach, Where A Beautiful Woman Named Marin Finds Him Unconscious. Throughout The Whole Game, Link Does Not Know Where He Is As He Tries To Find A Way Off. Another Thing Link Doesn't Know Is The Fact That The Might Be Just A Dream. I Rate Story 2.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: First Of All, Link's Awakening Started The Whole Game Boy Zelda Series. Along With Started The Portable Zelda Games, This Game Brought Forth The Ocarina & The Red And Blue Tunics. It Also Started The Eight Dungeons For Most Of The Game Boy Zelda Games. The Game Introduced The Shovel As A Tool. The Young Woman, Marin, Only Appears In This Game. Another Key Interest Is The Fact That The Island May Actually Be Just Link's Dream. This Game Is Also The First Or Only Game That Got Remade Into Color. One Last Thing, I Believe Link's Awakening Started The Whole Trading Side Quest. I Rate Difference/Original 2.

DIFFICULTY: This Game Have Both Hard & Easy Parts To Them. First Of All, You Can See Everything On The Screen. Link's Awakening Is Similar To The First Zelda Game Ever Made For The Nintendo System (NES). The Only Time The Screen Moves Is If Link Moves Off Screen To A New Panel. Also The Controls Are Simple. Press A Or B To Use Highlighted Item & Use The D-Pad To Control Movement. Along With Easy Visibility & Easy Handling, The Hard Parts To The Game Is The Solving Of The Puzzles & The Bosses. Okay... So The Boss Fights Aren't That Hard, But they Aren't Easy Either. The Puzzles However Are Somewhat Difficult & Involves You Needing To Use You Brain. I Rate Difficulty 2.

TOTAL - 8.5

Wow! Great Score For Link's Awakening. To Tell You The Truth, This Is The First Zelda Game I Ever Beaten. This Is The Nintendo Rater Signing Off. Thank You & Visit Again!

Luigi's Mansion For The GC


Luigi's Mansion Is A Gamecube Game Straight From Nintendo. Luigi Mario Is The Green Younger Brother Of Mario Mario, The Mighty Red Plumber. This Time, It's Luigi's Turn To Raise His Stardom.

FUN: To Begin, It's Fun To Play As The Green Guy. As You Play, Luigi Gets Frighten, Starts Humming, & Sucks Nasty Little Ghosts With A Darn Vacuum Cleaner. Yeh, It's Pretty Sweet. When You Get Further Into The Game, Your Vacuum Gains Super Powers After You Find The Matching Medals. People With The Faint Heart, Don't Play This Game. Ghosts Randomly Appear In The Rooms. I Rate Fun 1.5.

REPLAY: After You Beat The Game, A New Mansion, Called Hidden Mansion, Appears As One Of The Choices. The Hidden Mansion Is Built Differently & It's A Bit Harder. I Rate Replay 0.5.

STORY: It All Started When Luigi Got A Letter Telling Him That He Won A Mansion. Luigi Tells Mario To Meet Him There To Check Out The New Mansion. However, When Luigi Arrived A Little Bit Late, He Could Not Find Any Trace Of His Older Brother. As It Became A Dark & Stormy Night, Luigi Slowly Walks Up The Steps Of The Mansion & Enters, In Search Of His Lost Bro. I Rate Story 1.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: Let Me Spell It Out To You... L-u-i-g-i Is The S-t-a-r! There Are Not Many Game With The Green Guy As Number One. I Mean... There's Two Versions Of Mario Is Missing, One For Nintendo (NES) & Another For Super Nintendo (SNES), But That's For Another Time. Another Difference Is That Your Tool Is A Hot Red Vacuum Cleaner. Along With Sucking Power, The Vacuum Can Blow Fire, Ice, & Water From The Hose. I Rate Difference/Original 2.

DIFFICULTY: Luigi's Mansion Is Somewhat Easy As Well As Simple. All You Have To Do Is Point & Suck. While Sucking Just Move The Control Stick In The Direction Of Where The Ghost Is Going. Another Tip, Don't Get Hit. The More You Suck, The More Your Health Doesn't Go Down & You Stay Alive. I Rate Differculty 1.5.

TOTAL - 6.5

Here You Go People! Luigi's Mansion From The Nintendo Rater. Thank You & Visit Soon!

Harvest Moon 64 For The N64


Harvest Moon 64 Is A Nintendo 64 Farming Sim Game By Natsume. Natsume Makes Every Harvest Moon Games In The Series. In This Game, You Raise Animals, Grow Crops, & Make Money While Trying To Find A Wife & Have A Child.

FUN: If You Love Playing The Sims, You Love This Series. However, If Not, Then You Won't. I Will Admit That This Game Goes On Forever & Will Never End. The Holidays & Festivals Never Get Old, Because They're Always Different. It's Also Fun To Figured Out The Dating Game. I'm Going To Rate Fun 1.

REPLAY: Sadly There Is No Replay Value What So Ever. I Rate That A Zero.

STORY: In Harvest Moon 64, The Story Is That You The Player Arrives In A Small Town To Attend Your Grandfather's Funeral. After Hearing Everybody's Opinions, You Decided To Take Over Your Grandfather's Farm. During The Time At The Farm, You Meet Five Single Women. You Decided To Marry One Of Them & Have A Child To Pass On The Farm To. When You Talk To People, They Will Give You Different Dialogue, Depending On How They Like You. Later On, After You Marry The Woman You Want, The Other Single Women Will Get Married & Have A Kid Of There Own If Your Friendship On Both Man & Woman Is High Enough. On A Downside, The Story Ends After Everything Is Complete. I Rate Story 1.5.

DIFFERENCE/ORIGINAL: First Of All, It's The Only Harvest Moon Game That Has A Holiday That Involve A Drinking Contest. If You Had At Least 3 To 5 Bottles Of Karen's Wine At Her Vineyard, You Will Be Prepared For The Drinking Contest. The Goal Is To Out Drink Everybody In Town Square. Another Difference Is The Single Women You Can Choose From. Ann, Karen, Popuri, Maria, & Elli. This Game Is The Only Harvest Moon Game In The Series That These Women Are The Only Ones You Can Marry. Other Than These Two, There Not Much That's Different. I Rate Difference/Original 1.

DIFFICULTLY: Let's Face It, A First Grader Can Play This. I Rate Difficultly 2.

TOTAL - 5.5
