There's some fun to be had with Disaster: Day of Crisis, but it's far from good and certainly not what you should be expecting from Nintendo.

PLZ rewrite.
This game deserves at least a 7/10, i would give it 8.7/10 to 9.1/10

"Games are all about fun, but sometimes game developers seem to forget this. We here at VideoGamer.com hate it when a game ends up as a frustrating experience, especially when there are glimpses of quality. We're talking about unfair checkpoints, constant death, cheating AI and all those other things that take the fun out of gaming. Only consider if you're masochistic."
There is absolutely nothing frustrating about Disaster. It has fair and regular check points, and the difficulty curve is extremely lenient.
Is it not a touch presumptuous to saddle a specific score with a specific complaint? Telling your readers that Disaster is 5 for frustrating is totally misleading, and I'd hope that even you would concede that the game isn't frustrating.
And Darkwun, I think we are on pretty much the same wavelength here, and I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying the game. A friend of mine has already completed the game and said that on your second run through, you get a whole new set of things to hunt for. He also said he's enjoying his second run through more :)
Just completed the Tsunami section though, and travelled to a Volcanic shoot out. It really does pack everything in. Loved the flooding section too, so many fresh ideas. I hope the game walks away with a comfortable 8/10 from metacritic, it would serve as a nice pat on the back to developers who actually take advantage of the Wii, and don't just slap some motion control on there PS2 releases.

"I'll pick it up when it's hit the Bargain Bins. Which, judging by the tone of this review, might be soon." This is what i mean. This guy hasn't read what the rest of us have put about this game, and has gone solely by the review. But it begs the question. How many simple have merely Googled D:DoC found this (which was the only review at the time), and made up there mind there and then whether to get this game. How many people have turned away, stopping this from being the success it deserves to be. And furthermore stopping companies from actually taking the time to make innovative games for my white box. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy. I love my Xbox, but the lack of good action games on Wii aggrevates me. Thusly, so did this review.

Thank you. It's good to find a like-minded soul amongst the chaos lol. I'm currently at the tsunami section on my second run through and am enjoying the side missions and unlocking the costumes. As well as spending considerable amounts of time (we're talking up to an hour at a time), on the shooting range trying to find evidence of this input lag. And i really have found zero evidence of it. Twice, I've managed to get a 100% rating on the advance stage. This is no easy task, and led to much swearing as i fall at the last hurdle... anyway, gettin 100% on tha difficulty would be an impossibilty with input lag.
"I've never seen this happen.. I was just looking for my next Wii game and looking at various reviews this game looked good, I saw this had a 5/10 so I had to read why.. but looking at the comments, it seems the reviewer is on his own..." My point exactly. I'm the type that hates complaining and although I've disagreed with many a review, I've never done so, vocally. Other reviews I've disagreed with, have been fair. They do not simply lable it as "frustrating" without elaborating on certain points. And they've often had a reader score in plain sight. After all, one reviewers opinion is just that; one person's opinion. In all my years of gaming (I may only be 24, but I've been gaming for 18 of those years), i have NEVER seen a backlash such as this against a game review. Tom is entitled to his opinion, but clearly the majority speaks. I just hope other sites see it the way we do. *waits for PC to crash again*

The woeful AI and a few clumsy sections detract from what's otherwise a really enjoyable arcade-style experience. But it looks and sounds great and there are enough unlockables to warrant a second and third playthrough.
80% 3DJuegos
An interesting story, an outstanding cinematographic style and a good variety of genres like exploration, shooting or driving. These are the key ingredients of Disaster: Day of Crisis, a very enjoyable videogame very suitable for gamers looking for one of the best action games in Wii.
73% NGamer UK
But the crowning glory is the fantastically naïve script, which attempts to ape gritty American cinema with its excessive use of swears. In attempting this, it succeeds only in being the most quintessentially Japanese thing that has ever been put to disc.
AND THEN WE HAVE TOM....

A distinctly underwhelming game. There's some fun to be had with this Wii action game, but it's far from good and certainly not what you should be expecting from Nintendo.

This review was an OPINION. It really really aggravates me to read some of your comments about it not being a 7. Slating the reviewer himself is completely wrong too. He has merely told you what HE believes about the game. What you believe is understandably going to be different in some shape or form.
Disagreement is fine. I have no problem with it, we're all different. But when somebody actually slates the reviewer for not doing his job properly and calling him a 'moron' etc. It's not on. Stop acting like 6 year olds and enjoy the ****ing game if you're enjoying it. (this wasn't aimed solely at you, Darkwun btw)
