The 11 best Wii games (Pg. 2/4)


8. Madden 08

Contrary to what Spoticus, my fellow GamePro reviewer says, Madden NFL 08 for Wii is enjoyable in its own right -- even if it lacks the hi-resolution graphics and traditional features found in other versions. Motion-controls on the gridiron are truly engrossing, and the game does a great job courting former Madden players long since put off by the game's usual complexity. Mini-games, a party mode, and online play (without friend codes, mind you) atone for the fusty presentation and random bugginess, and prove that in addition to its uncommon gameplay, Madden on Nintendo hardware can no longer be considered an afterthought.


7. Elebits

Excited with the prospects of playing Ghostbusters on Wii next year? Do you like Half-Life 2's gravity gun? Then Konami's Elebits should be on your "must play right now list." Released in December of 2006, Elebits lets players use a "capture gun" to displace on-screen objects -- ranging in size from a kitchen plate to a downtown skyscraper -- to unearth hidden mole-like creatures that store electricity. It sounds weird, but it's ingenuously fun, especially as you progress through the longer, more expansive levels. Elebits: the ultimate rummage game, one of the most atypical experiences you'll find.


6. Medal of Honor Heroes 2

Heroes 2 shouldn't be a good game -- it's a sequel to a World War II shooter with everyday graphics. But its judicious controls are something every first-person shooter fan should experience for themselves. The motion-based precision and speed rival that of a mouse and keyboard while the cooperative gestures deliver an added sense of immersion. Despite its laughable animations from time to time, the 32-person online multiplayer runs without hitch. Throw in the on-rails bonus mode (one of the best on Wii), and Heroes 2 finishes as not only a great game, but an incredible value.
