Nidzumi: Wall-E Review: Averagely Competant

Nidzumi writes: "Another Pixar movie recently hit in the form of Wall-E and unlike the last few films it doesn't star an animal but it does feature the adventures of the lovable robot Wall-E. He's a robot who helps clean up the world after it's been polluted by the big franchise Buy N Large. The film so far as received great critical acclaim from movie critics worldwide mainly for it's charming story and heartwarming characters. It has also been praised for appealing to both kids and adults although with video games that's not as easy.

The opening levels of Wall-E are essentially large platform-esque obstacle courses. These rarely present a challenge but do tend to offer slight thrills. Certain obstacles such as spinning pipes with holes in them have to be taken carefully. It's a shame that this aspect of the game never really gets going as it could have been developed into an interesting game. All these levels really need is variation and a challenge."

Pros - Charming Graphics - Great Sound & Music - Can Offer Tense Moments

Cons - Disjointed Last Section - Too Repetitive - Narrow Minded Demographic

Solid line up.

I knew TDU SC eventually come on PS Plus. Glad I cancelled preorder for Astro or instead.
I heard TDU SC was a mess at launch. Did it improve? I'm going to give it a try

This is unrelated to the actual post, but can anyone tell me what happened to this site? It used to be the best place to get news, but now it seems like barely any big news comes through, there's little discussion, and it seems to be dying overall. I know there was awhile where I couldn't access the site, but that's been taken care of for a long time. What happened?

Nyxus112d ago

There are a lot of technical issues and it doesn't seem there are many people left who approve stories, so they take a long time to get approved, if they get approved at all.

Eonjay112d ago

Money. It was sold to someone who wanted to maximize the ad revenue while investing nothing into the actual site. Money killed it.

lodossrage112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

I'll add to what Nyxus and Eonjay said

Another reason is trolls are allowed to run rampant. So the few times discussions might happen, they get derailed fast.
There's also the fact that they're more strict on what gets approved now compared to what they were back in the day.

Site’s been slowly turning to garbage over the past 5 years. It’s currently almost unusable. Full of utter shit adverts covering everything. You cant even access your profile notifications and it’s been like that for what must be over a year now. It really has become an amateur shit show here.

maximusprime_112d ago

True, I tried opening "my submission" and it opened someone else's list of submissions...

Chocoburger111d ago

An endless amount of rude trolls, along with terrible and inconsistent moderation. I once got banned for saying S***, but then there are other people who can drop F-bombs and not get banned. Mods also punish the wrong people often, just stupidity all around. I stopped submitting stories and I rarely comment these days due to the lack of proper moderation.

DEKUX12111d ago

Always thought this was just a Sony pony troll site lol. But it used to be nuts. I used to check this site every day same as siliconera. I do still check here and there but yeah ain’t what it used to be

Love the article description!

Also someone had the foresight to put Neva on there... and monter hunter Stories. Solid additions all around.

MrBaskerville111d ago

They had a strong classic library last year, I don't hope they plan to double down on disney releases again this year, like they've done before.

Disney/Pixar’s Wall*E - A Refreshing Use of a License

Licensed games are all rubbish, right? Well, THQ's take on Disney/Pixar’s Wall*E would like to argue that point.

gamerz1052d ago

Took me a min to figure out this is a review of a 2008 game. I love Wall*E and this looks interesting so added it to my Steam wishlist. Thanks!

A Look Back at Disney Games on PlayStation Handhelds

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).

Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."
