Blast Works is a very interesting game, and it's nice to have it as a Wii exclusive--even though it makes no use of the Wiiremote's motion sensing controls and only uses the pointer for menu selection. This is a side scrolling shooter that offers tons of variety if you're willing to put the time in to customize levels, ships, etc.The "campaign," which is just a series of different levels without any plot (not that that's surprising), is decent. It's not great, but it serves its purpose of offering an enjoyable set of missions to pick up and play. It also pretty challenging, and it says that you can play it with two players (I assume simultaneously rather than alternating, but I'm not completely sure).You can unlock some extras (one of which is the Japanese game that Blast Works is based off of), but I haven't unlocked many so far.What's really cool is that as you kill enemies, you can fly into them before they fall off the screen which attaches them to you. Through this method you can have a massive amalgamation of enemy parts and ships that shoot along with you for added destructiveness. They can be destroyed off of you, but if you keep it up you can virtually fill up the screen!The big appeal of this game comes from the customization possibilities. Although it takes some time to understand how it all works, once you figure it out you will be making stuff that you couldn't have imagined! You can create enemies, ships for yourself, levels, bosses, etc. There are tons of different types of parts you can use, you can make your blaster shoot in an insanely large variety of ways, and you can even decide how much defense your enemies have. You can create ultra complicated bosses that consist of multiple parts, that fire 10 different kinds of blasts, and are virtually impossible to defeat. Make them big or small, mobile or static, gun crazy or not. Whatever you want to make, you can make it.The only real problems with this game are rather minor overall. One is that even though you can customize so much, you still have to customize within the bounds of the visual style of the game. Your creations won't be able to look like stream-lined jets or anything. However, you can still create some pretty cool stuff.The music is definitely sub-par. It's pretty mellow and boring, but not a game-breaker.The other problem is that it seems to freeze relatively often when loading between screens. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's more often than all of my other games.Neither of these issues are a particularly big deal, IMO. Although the freezing problem made me knock my review down to a four rather than a five, it doesn't make me regret purchasing this game. For the price, it's really a stellar game. If you like this type of shooter and you enjoy customizing, this is the game for you.

Likes to freeze at times and the screen can get pretty cluttered and crazy, but still fun. Pretty cool to be able to salvage parts from other ships. Very fast pace and some areas are pretty hard like bosses that you can only kill by firing into a little hole that you can't get to because of a constant stream of return fire there, etc. If it didn't freeze I'd give it a 5. It is a pretty good time killer and kids that just like to hit buttons and go nuts can enjoy it too. My dad beat many levels just by holding fire and making a big diagonal hammer like device sweeping the whole screen. For the price it is now you can't beat it though...I've paid $20+ for much worse.

This might be the most overlooked gem in the entire Wii library! It's appropriate for all ages but can present experienced gamers with a challenge too. Such a unique experience in the Wii.....yet no one marketed this game properly and the game press online paid it no attention. Easily a Top Ten Wii game in my opinion.

My 9 and 10 year old sons have absolutely enjoyed this game. They especially like being able to create their own gadgets. Would reccommend. The planes are in combat with/against each other, but I have not actually seen human figures. I like this because I don't like violent games.
