The best game on the Wii December 17, 2009
John Clayton III (Greystoke)
Wow, now THIS is more like it!
A fun, engrossing action game that is just the perfect length, makes genuinely good use of the Wii's controls, has bags of variety in it's gameplay, a truly enjoyable plot that serves as a mish mash homage to countless action and disaster movies like Cliffhanger, Dante's Peak, Day after Tomorrow and several others, and some truly impressive visuals combine to form one of the best games I have played this generation and the single best game I have played on the Wii.
Playing as former marine and 'international rescue team' member Raymond Bryce, the game has you desperately fighting your way through the armies of terrorist organisation SURGE(Seriously) in an attempt to rescue the sister of Raymond's dead friend in a city that is being ripped apart by disasters and is threatened with annihilation if SURGE gets to use their nuclear bombs. The plot is absolutely OTT bonkers crazy in the best way possible. It never takes itself too seriously, but manages to avoid self parody for the most part. This is FUN stuff.
Played mostly from a third person perspective, the game has a lot in common with underrated PS2 disaster simulator SOS The Final Escape in it's execution, but Disaster is MUCH more polished and smooth to play, with some truly astounding use of scale in some of it's set pieces as sky scrapers collapse around you as you run down city streets and lava chases you as you drive down ash covered mountain roads. The game looks great for a Wii title and offers and excellently tense experience, and that's before you get to the other aspects of the gameplay, which consist mostly of the driving and shooting sections. Driving sections are a little tricky to master I thought, using the Wii remote alone as a "steering wheel" as racing games on the Wii do, these are the weakest parts of the game, but even then are still really well done. Combat plays more or less the same as classic Namco Playstation/Arcade shooter series 'Time Crisis', with a cover based light gun type affair conveying the shoot outs in a suitably over the top manner, but not to the point where they outstay their welcome. All the differing sections are well balanced throughout.
Nothing more can really be said about this title than it is a definitive must buy. This is not code language, you MUST buy this game now if you have a Wii and have not yet played it, especially with the price so low now.
Phenomenal stuff, just awesome.

They say that if it looks too good to be true, then its probably not. If you enjoyed the amazing trailers for this game then you'll find the above cliche appropriate. Disaster Day of Crisis is aptly named. It's almost a disaster, and it will keep you entertained for a day. The cut-scenes are excellent in this title and therein lies the problem. Around 75% of the experience is watching the pre-rendered graphics tell you a story. Granted the game-play that is interspersed is varied between driving, shooting, exploring the landscape, and interacting with the environment, but none of it really leaves you wanting you more. The shooting and driving parts are particularly primitive, no doubt because so little of the game engine is devoted to it.
The good parts are the interesting story (you're like a Red Adair rescue fellow) and some interesting use of the Wii remote to grab the wrists of people falling, or to treat injuries.
I can see this title appealing to "non game-players" or an older audience, but there's not enough in it to keep most players amused for long.
really good gameplay June 23, 2009

this is a great game. took weeks to complete and very unusual in that it asks you to perform rescues as well as shoot enemies. agree that some of the film sequences ae too long. found each new level a real challenge and there is a lot of variety.
