I have only played half of the 12 mini-games, and I will rate each one I played and give this game an overall score based on what I played.

The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest: 8.7/10 - This game features use of an archer for the Gamepad and use of Links with swords for the Wii Remotes. This is a fun game with nice touches such as rips in the Links' clothing from being damaged.

Pikmin Adventure: 8.7/10 - This is a great game for anyone that loves Pikmin. The combat is fast and straightforward.

Metroid Blast 8.3/10 - Nothing bad to say about this game, just that it's not a killer app. The Samus Miis still look cool though. And I will probably also get disagreement with my "not a killer app" opinion.

Mario Chase 8.3/10 - This is a pretty fun game in which you chase Mario using Toad. It would have been better with things like jumping.

Luigi's Ghost Mansion 8.3/10 - Pretty much what you would expect from a Luigi's Mansion game. Faithful to the original. But still a little lacking.

Yoshi's Fruit Cart 7.6/10 - This looked really fun when I saw a video of it. Is it as fun as what I thought it would be? Not really.

My overall Nintendo Land score: 8.5/10

i'd say 5/10 solo 9/10 multiplayer

Id like you to elaborate on how your grading scale works.

Okay. But explain what you mean first, how you want me to elaborate. Or where you are coming from in wanting me to elaborate.

Like you gave metroid and luigi both 8.3 yet you said metroid had nothing wrong with it but luigi was lacking. so thats kinda what i meant

I find the Metroid game disappointing compared to Metroid Prime but there is nothing wrong with it. However, the Luigi's Mansion game wasn't disappointing compared to Luigi's Mansion but for some reason, it is still lacking.

Rated 8. Nintendo Land is a lot of fun but it's limited for both Solo and Multi.

[chamot07]

IMO, Nintendo land is targeted for multiplayer purposes. Single player is 'okay', Multiplayer is exceptional.

7.5/10 overall

[Greenleaf]

I've found Nintendo Land not to be on par with other games such as New Super Mario Bros U in terms of how much there is to play. Unless you like all of the mini games, there is very little to do. Also, some of the games (Zelda, Metroid Blast for example) are very similar to each other.

We tried this out as multiplayer:
- Mario Chase: completely idiotic game, 1/10
- Ghost mansion: the best multiplayer game in Nintendo Land, 8/10, but only three levels!!! (edit: two more appeared later for no apparent reason)
- Zelda: okay, but too boring and straightforward. Just shooting / waving a sword.

I wouldn't recommend this game as a separate purchase. I got mine in the premium pack. Apart from a few hours of Ghost Mansion, I don't see us playing this useless game at all.

Have any of you played DK's Crash Course yet? I find it one of the most challenging minigames available. I would rate it 9/10 for singleplayer.

The overworld is interesting, but so far I haven't unlocked much so I'm not sure how much there is to actually do here, and the TV headed stick figure that explains things gets quite annoying to start with, and can't be skipped.

[Hitomi]

i give it 8/10

but it's still a fun game

[Rossco]

Ah not sure about Nintendo Land. Only played the single player modes.

IDE have left it sealed and sold it for 30 bucks if IDE a known.

So can we multi play online? As we don't have another controller of any kind.

[Jakester897]

Cool people enjoy this game.

8.8/10

[Wolfy]

5/10, average IMO. If you've played one of the levels in a minigame, you've played the whole thing. It's crazy how people could consider this anymore than a minigame collection, but it's expected when you have a bunch of fanboys hyping everything up.

I didn't even bother with it. The game was traded in straight away while it was worth something. Got £26 cash from CEX but if I'd managed to get it to them 2 days earlier it would have been £30. They now only offer £19 I think.

I gave this a 4/10,i really wanted to like it but its rubbish!! if it had online it would of bumped the marks up a few places but as it is very boring.

I pretty much dismissed this game in the beginning, but after giving it abit of time I really do enjoy it. Overall I'd give this a solid 7/10.

[Mc_Boing]

I think it's pretty fun. I would like if you could have other people join via the Nintendo network. That would be sweet.

9/10

Really varied gameplay, a spectacular game to come with the Wii U because it lets you try out the new controller. Also, it's very hard to get bored because it feels like having 12 different games. The only bad things the game has for me are: It has no online, Mario, Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion's attractions only have 3 stages; and this one's dumb but there is no Pokémon attraction.
