Jenga (Wii)

You will probably know what Jenga is, but if you don't, it is simply a game of removing wooden blocks from a tower of wooden blocks without allowing your tower to fall down. Each player takes a turn to remove a single block, and replace it on the top of the tower, but whoever makes the tower topple, is out of the game. It is much more exciting than it sounds when playing it with physical components, but how does it translate to the virtual world? Graphics Well, not much to say here. How impressive can wooden blocks be? There are stages with different themes, each showing a rather simplistic background which adds to the theme of the level. And that is ...  Read the complete review

Being a massive fan of Jenga and of the Wii I thought that mixing the 2 would make a good combination. However, I'm of mixed opinion on the game as it is fun but it's not really much more fun than just playing it as a board game with the real thing. I'm sure everyone has played or knows what Jenga is but for those that don't in a nutshell it's a tower usually made of wooden blocks that you have to remove and place on the top without it falling down. The person who knocks it down is the loser. On the Wii you have various different backgrounds and coloured blocks that you can pick from which doesn't really make it anymore interesting. You use the Wii remote as a pointer to ...  Read the complete review

We have all played the addictive game of Jenga. Whether it was 5,10, or even 20 years ago it has surely left an imprinted meggage in our minds. But now it has re-introduced into the digital world of Wii....but how does it sum up??? I personally am not the greatest fan of the Wii. Although I do find it interesting and imaginative, I still feel that it is slowly taking away our need to have fun with 'material things'. So back to the game. Unlike the origional jenga blocks, this game is a battle of controlling the tower and stopping it falling by using the Wii controler and Nunchuk. Players must compete in turn to move a piece and push the block on the top ...  Read the complete review

I love Jenga, its a great game to play with family and when a game came out for the Wii, I thought it would be a very good interactive game for everyone. However, I was wrong, the game isn't very good. The object of the game is to remove a block from the Jenga tower without it falling over. If you make it fall over, you lose. The game is very colourful with different colour blocks but the graphics are poor and are some of the worst on the Wii. The controls are very hard, trying to pull out a block with the remote and then select the right one is very hard. Then to navigate it out, is also very hard. Pretty much everytime, you will ...  Read the complete review

Jenga for Wii, Great combination right? No, wrong! Jenga is one of my favourite games that i used to play as a kid, and with me being a great fan of the Wii i thought this game would be brilliant. Well perhaps not! Basically he point of Jenga is to remove a Wooden Block from a tower of guess what! yes wooden blocks withouth the tower falling over. Got the idea? Well if you make the block fall over, you lose. Well the Wii Game does what the Board Classic Game of Jenga does but actually manages to destroy it. Nintendo put different colour blocks in and thought that would make the game brilliant. Well, it doesn't! As usual, you play this ...  Read the complete review
