Defend Your Castle Wii Ware Review
I was attracted to Defend Your Castle when I watched the preview on the Nintendo channel for two reasons. The first reason is it’s cheap… 500 points (or the equivalent of a NES game), secondly it stands out from the pack with its retro look and violent sense of humor. After checking that I had 600 Wii points left it was the clear winner and candidate to waste an hour or so of my evening away.
Let me first warn you that the game starts slow in the regular game play mode. Unless your thumbs move in slow motion you will find yourself waiting for the real action to begin. Gameplay is mindless fun but actually quite rewarding when you are barraged by sick men, fat guys and bombers.
The action gets old quick with one player. One great way to make the game more interesting alone is to play with a wii remote in each hand and practice getting your left and right hand more in synch with each other.
2.5/5
