Sticks and stones may break my bones, but swords and chains excite me. Should you climb the towers in Xseed's JRPG/adventure hybrid to save your cursed (and tragically whiny) girlfriend?

DAILY MANIFESTO

The Most Violent Game Console Is... The Wii??

Posted on Thursday, January 11 @ 17:51:50 Eastern by Duke_Ferris

And, no, I'm not talking about throwing the Wiimote through your TV. Just check out this video from the The Godfather: Blackhand Edition.

I mentioned in my review of Twilight Princess that I wished Link would swing his sword the same way I waved the controller, and it looks like that's exactly what The Godfather is trying to do. Except what sounds like a goofy romp when your target is a Dodongo, takes on a much more visceral edge when you're smacking around a stoolie and pushing him off a balcony. The possibilities are disturbing.

I hope they get it right, because it looks like fun, but man does that look like a game that deserves it's "M" rating. The Wii is about to grow up real fast when it joins The Family.

I really hope they never make a Hannibal Lecter game for the Wii.

Uh, I'd like to watch the video, but it says the video is no lonver available. I'd go see it on IGN, but I don't really like them. Too networky, and not quite as helpful as they like to think they are. Besides, you can't spell ignorant without IGN, am I right? But yeah, the video isn't working.

Wii's response time is gonna hurt I feel this game will turn out to be just another FUN game,which LACKS substance . I am sure it wont get more than B from GR Reviewers. Its gonna be another Call of Duty or Far Cry failures on Wii

I have an idea. Boycott the Wii until a lightsaber game is made.

or until a really really good bowling game, i just made pro in wii sports bowling. wii need a bowling game with better physics, and oil conditions on the lanes, some online game play would also help as we can actually compete using standard handicap rules online. Wii can rule the sports games, if only the lazy devs at EA can work out how.

Yes, a Star Wars game on Wii would be excellent. Not just the lightsaber play, either. The Force in general. The Wii remote senses depth as well as position and tilt, so imagine using the Force to pull in objects, throw things around... Imagine doing that Vader choke with the Wii remote. But yeah, when this game comes out, I just might rent it and see how it plays. Of course, I still should actually see the Godfather movie first.

The Wii is definitly the most violent when only combat games sound good on it.
