World Of Goo Wii Ware Review

[megajuanx346]

yo tamien tengo el world of goo para wii ya me lo di vuelta :D

[Maiku2010]

music sounds relaxing

[Virginityrocks]

Better controls? You're kidding me...

[DEIVION212]

Nope the Wii really does control better than the P.C for this game. For EVERY other game though, MOUSE AND KEYBOARD FOR THE FUCKING WIN :D

[Virginityrocks]

@DEIVION212 I still don't see how. The wiimote is wobbly, inaccurate, and strains your arms using it as a pointing device for extended periods of time, which only increases wobbliness and inaccuracy.

[DEIVION212]

It's because you're pointing straight forward so pulling down works much easier and better than sliding the mouse backwards.

[Janezk7]

@Virginityrocks dude,.... ALOT better... and i thought of wiimote for a wobly and inaccurate for some games (some has it don VERY good - not to mention motion+) but if you tweak sensitivity settings and put yourself at the right distance from sensor bar, its ALOT more accurate and better than on PC

[MrTiagosuper]

what veridict would you give to the game?

[Ftmneer]

Nice game!

im trying to get it at my wii :D

[Smokey000027]

Hpw much cheaper are the points if you buy them right off your wii? I live in the states so i'm not sure if you can help me. Also is it safe to use your card to get points right online. Me and my wife don't like to give out our info online.

[DEIVION212]

In NA I've no idea, because as far as I'm aware NA still has the 1 cent = 1 point so 2,000 points would be $20 no matter where you buy.

But your best bet is to check the online site of a well known store like Walmart or EB Games and then check how much they cost direct from your Wii.

But as for buying direct from the Wii, you goto the shop and then hit the points and you go from there. And Ninty are the ONLY ones who get your information.

And if you can't trust them, who can you trust?

[Smokey000027]

Thankyou very much that was very helpful. You have a good night!

[DEIVION212]

Cheers, you too :)

[ToaMumbo]

how do u get points

[DEIVION212]

There's 2 ways, you can either buy a points card online/in store or ony our Wii, goto the shop and click on the 0 points and you can then buy them direct to your Wii (Which is cheaper) with a Visa or Mastercard.

[domincwild]

Why are they cheaper by credit card i never got why

[DEIVION212]

No idea, probably because there's no packaging, and as Ninty think that you require a fort knox style case for a piece of carborad, I'd imagine that packaging must cost alot.

[gamerproHQ]

well I like world of goo but its very over rated but my favourite wiiware title is my life as a king crystal chronicals final fantasy

[flourishjoe]

@gamerproHQ

the game is completely underrated its has amazing reviews and has won a bunch of different awards but not many people know about it and its sad cause it one of the best game ever made its a complete classic game

great art in every sense music visuals the production value is through the roof

people should buy this game and support it

[DEIVION212]

So how the fuck is it underated?

A good game getting bad reviews and no rewards is underated, this if anything, is overated.

[Loopsk12]

nice video. very good

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[Corcoancaoc]

did "world of goo" get released on disc? If so, where can I find it?

[DEIVION212]

Don't think it did, no.

[domincwild]

Dident it get relesed for PC?

[DEIVION212]

Might be a disc version of P.C but not for Wii.

[irritatedmushroom2]

Great unbiased review!

[DEIVION212]

Cheers :)

[donthon21]

this thing was on the pc 3 years ago b4 the wii

[DEIVION212]

Hit Steam about 2 months before the Wii.

[AirVol2]

pc version is better

[alecisatoon12]

I have this game for my wii and it sucks monkey cocks.

[DEIVION212]

Glad I'm not alone :)

[alecisatoon12]

I know. But do you know in  America this game actually made the top 10 wii games of 08. How could that happen?!?!

[bracefacejie]

shut up and play the dam game

[DEIVION212]

Never gonna happen, have done and it's shit.

[DEIVION212]

At least, I think it's shit. I find it dull, boring, repetitive, etc...

[sean007s]

hey bracefacejie.

Suck my cock.

its a review you fuck tart.

Good review Demon!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[yoshimaster32195]

cool review.

i like how you go into detail :)

[DEIVION212]

Cheers :)

[jumptothelimit7]

im on chapter 4

[aaws95]

i just got this

i got to say it's fairly worth 1500 points

just one problem

i had 1000 points, i needed 500, i had to buy another 1000 to be able to buy this

damn nintendo! it will be way more convinient if u could buy 500 points

also in my region, wii points sell at $15/1000 so that's pretty crap

i payed 22 bucks for world of goo

it's a good game don't get me wrong

but how high can a 5 hour game cost?

[DEIVION212]

That reall sucks man.

But I've been saying for ages that Ninty are greedy and WW is the perfect proof.

I have an iTouch and on the App store there's about 15-20 Wii Ware games on the App store that are not only cheaper, but feature more content.

It's a bloody joke!

[plasmavore]

What game would you suggest for 1000 points I have Lost Winds. (preferably WiiWare, not Virtual Console :D thanks)

[DEIVION212]

If you're in NA the Plattchen is easily the biggest and longest WW game out.

Mega Man 9 is awesome Bomberman is good but only with mates, Swords And Soldiers is pretty fun, Bubble Bobble Plus and Rainbow Islands are good.

Reviewed the lot :)

[BrawlFanatic007]

good job on the review!

[DEIVION212]

Cheers :)

[ShadwSniper7]

You have only beaten the first few levels? I think your judging the game too fast. Beat the first few worlds, then tell us what you think.

[DEIVION212]

There's only 48 levels, and unless the games engine gets better as you go on...

[KuraiKoyoyoyama]

i've finished the game.. yeah pretty much hes judged it pretty well... and the levels get realllly reaalllly hard near the end... especially the 4 levels in the last world (apart from the last one...too easy)

[DEIVION212]

Yeah Wii GOTY it probably deserved it. Couldn't really get excited about much at all last year.

And what I did love, tons hated without ever even playing it (Plattchen).

[againstdew]

SSBB is okay game when you're playing with friends.. but online playing and alone playing is gay.

But I'm really intrested of that new final fantasy crystal chronicle game (I'm not talking about the wiiwares game).. i bet it's gonna be a good game.

[DEIVION212]

I agree with SSBB, but IMO SSBM is just a million times better.

Might get CC, not sure, never actually managed to beat a main CC game yet, I just get bored half way through.

[againstdew]

i'm not SSBB fan but i used to be... my channel might look like that I am... And yes i never really liked ign.

I'm now in third chapter in goo and i must confess that I don't hate world of goo but I don't like it either cause it's lame game. I think all the best games in wii are virtual console games, because wiiware games are usually too expensive, short or unpotential.

I should buy PS3 cause it has all the good games and It's lot better than wii in all ways.

[DEIVION212]

Totally agree.

It's just too samey and boring and repetitive to play it for too long.

And WW is far to exspensive, I've always said "Why buy Lost Winds which last 2 hours when you can get Paper Mario which lasts 40 for the SAME price?".

I only have it because it was a gift, and I personally think it's just like Goo.

I own 30 games and wish I didn't, because I have recentally gotten an iPod Touch and most of the best WW games are on that for cheaper and they have extras!

[DEIVION212]

Pop has extra bonus modes and plays better and is a fraction of the price.

WWG has a Shotgun and extra modes and again, less than half the price.

Midnight Pool and Bowling, less than a third of the price!

Toki Tori is even coming out soon and I know of 2 Touch games being ported to Wii Ware. Uno and Crystal Defenders.

So my WW buying is going to start plumeting.

Because why pay more for an inferiour version of a game?

[DEIVION212]

SSBB fanboys hate Goo?

News to me, lol.

He might just hate the game, maybe it's the first game of this type he's ever tried. I'm sure you've hated "awesome" games before.

GTA series? Halo?

I know I can't stand those XD

[MushroomVigilante]

IGN gave Goo the Wii game of 08 award over SSBB. It's kind of easy to see why now. Both games got the same score, but goo is cheaper and it's more innovative. I still don't understand it, though. Goo is fun, but it just doesn't scream "Game of the Year," not even for Wii's generally lackluster 2008.

[DEIVION212]

Ah, I see now.

I don't think any Wii game was GOTY material.

Not when you had some awesome games come out on the consoles and P.C.

[againstdew]

You don't like GTA 4 Demon212? How bizarre.. usually everyone loves GTA series. Are you more like a fan of puzzle games?

[DEIVION212]

Nope, just hate sandbox games.

I've played every main GTA game and they all play the same. Why even bother buying a new one when the plot is always the same as is the gameplay?

Drugs, money, gangs, etc...

I get bored by the whole running around killing everything in site gameplay and then when you swap to the missions, you realise that all you're doing is, running around killing specific things.

Bores the bloody hell out of me it's just so 2D.

I prefer a lot more depth in my games.

[againstdew]

world of goo sucks

[DEIVION212]

Doubt it, it's a VC week for us this week.

I still want Gradius :(

[DEIVION212]

Not in U.S so it won't be tomorrow, it'll also depend on if I want the game. As I know nothing about it, I'll have to look into it when it hits.

[DEIVION212]

I personally don't think it's worth the points myself. Or the high scores. Maybe a 7-8 out fo 10 in my books.

Played much better.

Too many problems that make this boring and annoying after long periods of play time.

I just think it's case of, when you look at the shite available on the Wii, this seems like the Half Life Orange Box.

It's just a shame really that everything else, has the Half Life Orange box.

[againstdew]

this is one of the worst wii games ever... it's retarted, not funny at all and not worth of 1500 wii points

[cartmankid95]

i got this and its amazing! a classic...

[VirtualKuribo]

I finally bought this today. Very unique and addictive little game :). The music somehow reminds me of Danny Elfman :S.

[Atlantis1982]

@_@ This game makes me thirsty.

Anyway, much I marvel the excellence the two developers did for this game; this isn't the game for me, but if anyone even remotely like puzzle games I would HIGHLY recommend the game.

Oh and the music is AWESOME, maybe a little too epic for the game. :)

[YoungHenry101]

i like puzzle games yet the game doesnt appeal to me

[Mickeymac92]

Well, this certainly looks interesting, thanks for the review DEMON!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[skydemonairpirates]

this game... it never appealed to me in the first place... then ya tell me there's Europe only released contest? No thanks...

Ya know the download station isn't ever showing up in the united states? I have no clue how rotten of a line that'll be next year but as far as i know from nintendo, the USA isnt getting jack... which sucks... so this honestly made me feel worse. -_- i give the game a 1 of 10 if my point of views count anymore.

[DEIVION212]

Never appealed to me either. Well, well it was first announced it was, as soon as I played the demo I never wanted it. But my brother bought it and it's not bad.

Don't really know what you mean about the contest thing mind. Any chance of elaborating?

[austy108642]

Do you use a tripod and a video recorder to get your videos? Just curious, because your videos are pretty good quality for using one.

[DEIVION212]

You'd be right :)

Thanks :)

[valleyshrew]

A good little game, but tbh don't see why it got 10's. There seems to be some weird standard for review scores, a quantification of games by how passionate people are about them wouldn't have this as one of the best games, it's not even better than many free flash puzzle games. I'd like to see that though. I dont know why you like mega man so much, it's so primitive I can't play games like that anymore, bionic commando rearmed was decent but too hard when u keep dieing near end of a level.

[DEIVION212]

But it's supposed to be primitive, and they pulled it off with perfection. It really does feel like a NES game.

And personally I think it's the best of the series, which I've been a fan of since MM1 on the NES. The fact that I only played it for the first time a year and a half ago means nothing XD

It also gives me hope that we'll see new NES and SNES games. Konami are rumoured to be doing a SNES Vania which would be a dream because of how great Vania IV was. Favourite in the series.

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[PaperSpock]

Instead of an extra chapter, I think they've decided on a full blown sequel.

[DEIVION212]

Cheers for the news :)

Gonna be hard for them though what with there publisher going bust.

[deoderentrocks]

I've had this for a while and the music and graphics are amazing. the final world is ridiculously solid, though.

[againstdew]

is this a good game? cause if it is i shall download it

[DEIVION212]

Yes, it's a solid 8-10. But there are far better games on WW.

Like Mega Man 9, Bomberman, Niki, Toki Tori, Strongbad 1-5 etc...

So it just depends on what you're after.

[Derek14packers]

download the shit out of the game it is the best downloadable game on wiiware and psn or 360

[DEIVION212]

So you admit that it's not the best game on Steam or D2D ;)

[Derek14packers]

lol i don't even know waht they are lmao but oh well i guess this is all opinion i still love ur reviews demon

[DEIVION212]

They're the P.C download services where you can download Goo and then games like Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Command And Conquer 3, Dead Space etc... :)

[DEIVION212]

They're all legal BTW, you pay for them and Steam is ran by the owners of Half Life and Left 4 Dead. God bless Valve! :D

[Derek14packers]

i meatn console downloads and steam is basically stealing real games not download games

[DEIVION212]

Sells tons of download games though. Quite a few that's on the PSN, XBL:A and Wii Ware hit Steam ages before they hit the consoles.

[DEIVION212]

The App Stores' the same deal as well. You can get tons of Wii Ware games and for a fraction of the price. Midnight Bowling is £1.19/$3 and is a better vesion. Tiki Towers is 59p/$1. It's insane how much more exspensive WW games are.

[SmashBrosVideos23]

Probably because NINTENDO *cough*rip-off artists*cough* had to license those games. However, World of Goo is cheaper for some reason (probably because the WiiWare price limit is 1,500 points).

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, Goo's the first one I've noticed that's cheaper. £17 on Steam. More on D2D, 1,500 is about £10.50.

[ClimbatizVideos]

Thanks for another spectacular review demon212, hadn't heard much about this game and was wary of getting it because oh how much points were but this feels like a complete game than most of the other wiiware titles. Most likely because it is a complete game. This and megaman 9 is really getting wiiware going n showing the true potential. Im hoping game devs stepup to the table and try to develop actual games rather than minigames and try to make other genres (I have nutin' against puzzle games.)

[DEIVION212]

Personally for 1,500 points you can get much better games. FFCCMLAAK, Plattchen, Toki Tori, Bomberman, DYC etc...

It's a good game, but I don't think it's worth 1,500 points or a 10-10.

[jamester1989]

Do you have any other systems like 360, or ps3 that you would consider reviewing the odd thing for or would the work load be too much?

[DEIVION212]

I've done PSN vids, tons of them. And there'll be more on the way as I've got tons left to do and I'm skint, so PSN fans will be happy, can't speak for Wii fans though XD

I no longer do console games because when everything got forced down, there was no way they were going back up, had 386 up before.

And I did have some XBL:A vids up, but I never use the machine anymore as I'm sick of Pac-Man killing it (Onto 360 #5).

Why do you ask BTW? Just curious?

[jamester1989]

Wow, 360 number 5 :O Feel sorry for you!

I just ask cos you're a good reviewer. To the point, clear, informative (obv) and the attitude's just right and I just think it'd be cool if you could branch out a bit more with what you review. I'd find it helpful too since I don't even own a Wii lol

[DEIVION212]

Well as I say I had done so originally, I even done PC stuff, but what with everything happening and everything needing to be removed and them re-edited to remove the music, it was just a nightmare.

It took 2 weeks of constant uploading just to get 260 of the 386 back up, and it took my brother a month to re-edit them all as well.

And it couldn't have happened at a worse time, because he's getting well enough to go back to work soon. So he won't have the time to do them as much anymore.

[DEIVION212]

Because to cut a long story short he's been off work for 2 years with health problems, so I started doing this to give us both things to do. And now that he's going back, I've had to redo my channel.

So because I hadn't even bought a Wii game in 8 months and a PS3 game in about 4, I cut them right away. Because of the 360 problems I cut them. Because of the fact that a lot of my SNES and N64 original cart reviews (Not VC) weren't out on the VC, I cut them and now I'll just upload any that do

[DEIVION212]

Come out on the VC.

So now I pretty much only do PSN/PS1 PSN, VC, WW and P.C because I buy a lot of P.C games.

Who knows, maybe one day I'll get the time. But for now, I've just uploaded my favourite 10 vids of the genre's I'm not doing anymore. And that's all I'm afraid.

Had to stop top 10's and 5's and Q and A's too. Especially because they were full of music. And Warner weren't happy.

[jamester1989]

Boy you guys are in the wars. Well I just thought I'd ask lol

Still enjoy what you're doing though :) We all enjoy!

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, but we get on, have to really, lol.

Glad to hear it :)

[Cooltuber453]

Nice review!

I downloaded the game for my PC. It was fun but not fun enough to drop 20 bucks to buy the full version.

I'm not going to buy it for the wii either because it's just one of those games that i'll play for a day or two and then stop playing.

Nice review anyway, I think you have shown most of the points worth mentioning about the game.

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[daisyfoofpoof]

the computer version is soo much better, the ww one is hard, i don't have a very steady hand

[vampirelich11]

Awesome review!!, I loved this game, I was sad when I beat it. ;D

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :D

[airgilbert]

I love this game, well worth the 1500 points, great review!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :D

[Shadowpower7]

Nice review as always DEMON

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[Paul382]

I have been thinking about getting world of goo for a while but after seeing your review I might get it.

[DEIVION212]

Cool :)

IMO if you haven't got Mega Man 9 yet, get it, much better than this :)

[Derek14packers]

i don't think so demon world of goo has any other downloadable game beat

[DEIVION212]

How?

It's glitchy.

That camera is horrid for one. And it gets boring dead fast, simply because spending an hour on a level only to fail, means that you're gonna have to spend at least another hour on that same level.

It looks and sounds nice, and it's not a bad game. But MM9 owns this hands down IMO.

And this certainly isn't the best Wii game, so how the hell it can get 10's is beyond me.

I'd even say that SMG is better than this.

BTW have you heard? The Goo publisher has gone bust.

[Derek14packers]

wtf this game is the best on any downloadable game system, the camera has no problems it was never boring, and i guess ur just real shit at the game cuz it never takes anyone an hour to play a level i only got stuck 2 times and had to redue the level a few times and MG9 was good but not nearly as good as this

[DEIVION212]

Actually the hour thing is going off of other peoples stories, I stopped playing this after level 4 I got so bored.

And sorry, but now your argument is just laughable.

Goo better than any other game on a downloadable service, so then, you're honestly saying that Goo is better than...

Ocarina, Banjo, Half Life Orange Box, Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Castlevania SOTN, Fallout 3, DOOM, Duke Nukem, Wipeout HD, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix etc... etc... etc...

[DEIVION212]

Yet again this is a case of Wii games being so desperate for a good game, that the first mildly good one to come along is perfect and better than anything else on any other console ever.

Just simply because of how bad Wii games actually are. The first party games are jokes, we don't get any of the massive 3rd party titles and the ones that we do get are often terrible when compared to other console versions.

And the best that people can scrumage together, are ports/remakes of NGC or PS2 games.

[Derek14packers]

mine is laughable?? how are u supposed to make a review for a game when u only wnet to level 4 of it and let alone make a judgement about it and i recall me saying best downloadable game... and i understand this is all just of opinion but ur opinion is obviously messed up cuz ur the only perosn who doens't liek this game

[DEIVION212]

Why else do ya think I don't score the games? I review the contents of the game.

I never once said that. I just said it's not a 10-10.

Yeah I get bored with it, but few games like this can be played all the time. And I basically do a level, then switch off. Then do another level later when I fancy it.

It's a good game, it's just not perfect nor is it particularly addictive. Panda loves it, and even he hasn't played it in weeks.

[PaperSpock]

As for the comment about levels taking forever when you get stuck, did you realize that there's a level skip option? You get 3 skips per regular world, which "roll over" if you beat a world without using them, which were included to prevent frustration.

Also, the camera system seems to be the one used in most PC games I've played, such as the RCT, and Civilization series.

Anyways, the majority of this game was made by only two people. Though I enjoyed both, I give this kudos over MM9.

[DEIVION212]

The camera system works in those games. Goo isn't a RTS.

And no, as I stopped playing after level 4. That wasn't even my data I was playing on.

And it shows. 2 over hyped EA rejects who have more money than god to promote there game to make it seem amazing. This isn't a scratch on Toki Tori.

Which no one's even heard of because just who the hell are Two Tribes? Bplus? Mindware Corp?

Good devs are dying because Ninty don't advertise them and they don't have the cash to advertise themselves.

[PaperSpock]

Well, you've convinced me to buy Toki Tori tomorrow, provided that nothing interesting comes out tomorrow. I've considered Toki Tori in the past, but ultimately looked past it because it looked too similar to Mario vs. Donkey Kong which I only mildly enjoyed.

As for Maboshi, I've bought it, and while it seems to be a well made game, I'm just not that much of an arcade gamer.

Niki Rock 'n' Ball looks similarly arcade-y, but not as original as Maboshi.

[DEIVION212]

Well Niki has been done as an homage to old school gaming, because you just don't get games like that anymore.

Games like Bubble Bobble.

Granted you do get new Bubble Bobbles, but compared to the original, they suck. Usually, hoping the new WW one is canny.

[Paul382]

I have Mega Man 9 already downloaded.

I Download WoG yesterday and it is much better then I though. :)

[FF7ACJW]

I told you it was (goo)d.

[FierceDeity835]

LOL do you write your own material?

[FF7ACJW]

Yes. As you can see, that was the greatest pun in the history of forever!

[hokageninja9090]

this game looks fun

[Derek14packers]

finally a review of this good job demon.. lol im not gonna be the stupid people saying FIRST COMMENT !!!lol woop i jsut did

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

Yup, last review for a while I'm afraid. No money for points and no way I can record as well (Tonsilitis).

[Shadowpower7]

Boo. I hate people who say first comment.

You get a boot to the head

[Derek14packers]

ya same here thats why i said i was joking and that i hate people who say that ..
