December 16th was the last day of the “WiiCreate Club”. We started off the club watching our previous week’s video review (Mario Kart Wii) and reading the written reviews included in the video. Next we finished writing our WarioWare Smooth Moves reviews. I was curious if the quality of our video game reviews improved throughout the club. I went back to the MasterGamers123 website to find out. Here are a couple of my findings:
First Review by Stewie:
I think that Just Dance 2 is a very good game because they have very good songs like; SATISFACTION, HEY YA, BABY GIRL, JUNGLE BOOGIE, and last but not least D.A.N.C.E.! But they also have good dance moves like twists, turns, and a lot more!
I would recommend it for other people because just like I told you it has good BEAT, RHYTHM, and SONGS. So if you are bored and you don’t have anything to do play it! It is a GOOD GAME!

Wario Ware Smooth Moves, or WWSM, is about a game almost like Cursor Chaos but it’s not that. It’s like when you play a bunch of games but you have to do them pretty quick. So I guess it’s time to tell you what it’s all about…
Game Stats: If you played it a couple times then it would be pretty boring. If you just played a couple times like two then it wouldn’t feel boring. Now let’s get over to the controls…
Controls: The controls were pretty good but sometimes the moves you would do for the challenges would be pretty weird (like when you hold the controller like a Mohawk and do a squat), so that’s why the control grade is 8 – 10. After of course we now have Graphics.
Graphics: The graphics were excellent! Why were the graphics excellent? They were excellent because they had really good pictures and they sound effects would go perfectly with the picture. So the grade would be 9 – 10 because you know… no one is perfect!
Sound Effects: The sound effects were good but I have heard better. They would go too fast or too slow and I didn’t like that. So now the grade for sound effects would be like … maybe………… 0 – 10!
Well … I guess that’s it… I hope you enjoyed it!
First Review by Joe:
In the first round of JUST DANCE 2 I thought the music was literally HORRIBLE. Seriously. In the second round I realized the songs were really cool and weren’t inappropriate or anything like that. Soul Bossa Nova had a pretty cool beat to it.
Last Review by Joe:
I thought that this game was fun because it’s like a bunch of mini games put into one big game. I like this game because it shows you how to hold the Wii remote. For instance like the boxer style, and about ten other ones that I forget. I also liked the part when you advance farther into the game. The music goes really fast like a bolt of lightning going at full speed. You should really buy the game. Thank you for visiting my WarioWare Smooth Moves review.
I was very impressed with the improvement in student writing. The more recent reviews give lots of specific examples from the game and discuss different criteria (sound, graphics, control) in making their evaluations. The rest of the club was dedicated to playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii! Check out our full WarioWare Smooth Moves video review below:
What do you think of the WiiCreate club? Do you know of any other fun ways to include video games in learning and the classroom? Post here and join the discussion!
