I thought I'd start this thread so that members could warn other members of titles they'd downloaded and wish they had'nt, I'll start with the following title:

My Aquarium
Developed by: Hudson Soft. Co., Ltd.
Points: 500

Pardon the pun but this game is very shallow. I bought this for my two children aged 3 & 4, they enjoy feeding the fish they chose in the tank they designed but thats pretty much all you can do, "what else were you expecting with a title like that?" I can hear you thinking, I'll explain...within the game is a fish database, great I thought it'll teach the kids a little bit more about them, WRONG! sure it says a little about what they look like, where they come from and sometimes what they don't like to eat but its very hit and miss in the information provided, in a game where all you can do is pretty much tap on the glass to "communicate" with the fish and feed them, more information could of been provided about which food they eat of the 3 types your given to use (flakes/plant and earthworm)...to teach the kids not to overfeed the fish a water quality bar could of easily been added...I'm sure there's more I could say but basically as the old saying goes "You only get what you pay for" maybe my expectations are too high, but from such a well known developer I did expect better :(

Anyone else got any games they downloaded and wish they had'nt?

Thanks guys, this is the thing with WiiWare, sure they're cheap and yes, there are some good titles, but there you are with 500 points left in your account and you want to buy a new game, I can't of been the only person to have gone into the unknown and regretted it for not researching first

DONKEY KONG JR MATHS.....

Is Rubbish...

Same as you Covey, I bought this for my daughter with my 500 remaining points
but the game (if you can call it that) is really hard to understand and I'm not even sure
what buttons to press sometimes.

If you own this, you may disagree, it's just my opinion:)

I wish I'd waited till I had extra wii points and bought something good
but I'm too impatient for that!!!

Plus it said Donkey Kong and I thought
"ooh that might be good"

Oh well, live and learn..

Apparently the worst ones so far are SPOGS racing, Pirates: The Key Of Dreams (or whatever it's called, this is purely from memory, fact-fans), that absurd eating game and Frat Party Pong Toss, in which the name pretty much says it all. Fortunately FF: My Life as a King is simply brilliant, and my only Wiiware game to date (plutonically).

It is, isn't it? I can't recommend the game enough. The only problem with it is that when you switch it on your day soon disappears. It's too addictive ;) :D I'd have gladly paid full price for it.

Got "Defend you castle" It's great for 500 points, but the upgrades quickly get used up. Also, too hard for one player to do when you get to the higher levels. I had to get friends in just to get further :D.

Bomberman Blast is obviously good.:p.

I know this is virtual console but, it saves 2 posts. Mario bros: the lost levels. Looks just like the first, but when i got it and played it, it was much harder.:o. These levels should have stayed lost. I only managed to get to world 2 before getting killed!
