And while I'm sure many Wii owners will dismiss this title outright – solidified in their cynicism against the system and against Nintendo here in the console's final days – I've decided just to kick back, relax, and finally embrace the Wii for the aberration it is.
Hi guys IGN here, I decided to do a re-review even because we thought the 7/10 we gave in our original review didn't this game justice. And all I have to say is that this game has good graphics...mmmmm................. the graphics.... thats really what this is all about and uhm..... mmm....... the graphics...... thats really what this is all about and uh
10/10 - IGN (For real this time)
+ Great for older kids
+ Great for younger kids
+ Dogs playing football
+ It's a great concept
+ The graphics are good
+ You can go to Gamestop to pick the game up
+ It's a fun game
+ There are like 20 breeds of dog
+ You can choose your team
+ Like I said, it's a very fun game
And, THE GRAPHICS. You know, that's, that's really what this is all about.
(+ The way of the future)
You know the game is all about the graphics that's really all its about. The selling point of this game has got to be the graphics I mean the graphics still hold up to this day I mean I could literally only watch gameplay of this for my entire life and the graphics would still be 100/100 compared to future games. We can only hope that all other gaming companies see the value in dog foot ball or all hope for man kind is gone.
Quick Look:
-This game can be played and enjoyed by anyone. I'm college-aged and even though it is incredibly simple, JRNDF is very entertaining.
-Hilarious graphics/sounds
-Awesome company (Judobaby)
There are a few things about this game that make it truly worth a high rating:
1. The "Pick up and play" appeal- While it may appear to be just another 3rd party Wii game, it is one of the few that really takes advantage of the "easy-to-play" aspect of the system. If you're looking for a serious, competitive, detailed game, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a game that anyone can play and enjoy, this is it. The controls are incredibly simple, so there is essentially no learning curve.
2. Pretty much everything you see/hear is very entertaining (the loading screen is a crab juggling with a rag-timey piano playing in the background). There are loads of hilariously cringe-worthy puns, and you get to hear Jerry Rice say every one of them. Plus, each character has their own set of somewhat random words that they shout out at the line of scrimmage.
3. Did I mention the juggling crab?
4. Judobaby provided me with one of my all-time greatest customer service experiences. My friends and I encountered a problem that we didn't know how to address, and emailed Judobaby at the address provided on their website. Instead of an automated response or a CS rep, I received a reply from the CEO of the company. He told me that he hadn't heard of this particular problem before, but he would attempt to recreate it on his end. Long story short, he was very accommodating and stopped at nothing to find the solution to our problem.
This game is fun but a little too simple and poorly made. The controls take a bit to get use to where you actually use motion control to move your QA and then pointer controls to move your receivers which is weird to use two different methods for movement. Playing the AI is pretty easy because you can sit back in the pocket for hours until a receiver is open and then bomb it. Overall it is a little to easy to beat if you don't have someone to play. The environments make things interesting of using it to get extra yardage. This game is very unpolished and everything says "cheap" game. It's a good idea that could have used a bit more polish and better AI. Your probably better with Madden on Wii which is simplified for the Wii audience and is better.
