Defend Your Castle on Wii Ware.

This game is really fun! It takes the original idea of defending a castle from the original flash game, and makes it even more exiting. Its made by the same creators as the original, Xgenstudios. Lets start with the graphics. The first few things you will notice are 1. Graphics look like they were drawn with crayons with buttons and bottlecaps glued on to them. 2. Theres no blood, while this is a bit of a disappointment, it doesn't affect the game at all, and it still is funny when the stick figures die.

The gameplay consists of a few things. Throw stick figures into the air by dragging them with the wiimote. Repeat until night. Buy stuff. Things you can buy include, health, adding more heath, archers, spells, and other things. Once you buy the converter, which is the can of paint, you can drag sticks into it. From there you can turn them into suicide bombers, archers, spell makers, and builders.

Not much to talk about with the sound. Pretty simple sound effects, I liked them. The explosions are done by people making explosion sound effects, its amusing. I never got annoyed with the sound effects.

Enemy wise, theres enough variety to keep you interested, it starts out with only plain stick figures but other enemy types are added as you progress. I really recommend this game, for 5 dollars, you probably won't regret buying it.
