1. I would reccomend it for hobbyist types of family who are into RC copters and cars type of stuff.
2. Wifi or new downloadble skins
3. Probably since it's a rarity for an RC game to be made.

CAG BUZZ ENTRY QUESTIONS:

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?
   I would not likely reccomend this title as it seems like a cheap cash-in like a lot of the other games that come out on the wii
2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?
   It's possibly good for kids if the controls aren't broken.
3. If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?
   I doubt it. I think I would likely see it as more of an insult to the hobby

1. I would not recommend this game as a family title. Maybe as a family and son game, but for the casual gamer family. I don't think everyone would enjoy this.

2. It would be fun for really little kids.

3. Matters how big of a fanatic. If I was entirely in love with RC then yes, but anything lower then that probably not. Maybe if it is dirt cheap I would though.

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?

Unfortunately, I cannot unless I tested it out before. With big titles such as Okami and Mario Kart Wii, this would be overlooked.

2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?
An RC fanatic, a good MSRP, extremely nice ratings

3.If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?
Yea, why not? This is a rare style of gaming for sure. So why give up the chance?

1. I don't really think this is a "family" game.
2. An incentive would be some realistic physics, but then you'd probably just crash all the time. Flying RC helicopters ain't no joke son.
3. Again, if it realistically models RC helocopters yes, but if its just a crappy "arcade" title, no way.

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?

No I wouldn't, there are much better family friendly games coming out.

2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?

Online multiplayer. Good Co-Op Modes. Not sucking.

3. If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?

Absolutely.

1. I'd have to say no since it doesn't look like a family game.

2. For online capabilities.

3. Yes but not for full price.

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?

Not really.. I'd have to say that this doesn't look accessible to the average parental gamer. Great family games (as few as they are) need to at least address the interests of the casual users; thus, a broader gaming experience would be required. The average 30-40 something year old end user not familiar with gaming may get a little bored with it. I think Wii Sports is one of those rare all-encompassing family titles that can engage a myriad of audience demographics
2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?
Toy Commander for the Dreamcast was honestly incredible.. very engaging gameplay that left the user coming back for more. If that were mirrored here, I'd be interested in it. However, the Wii library has already been saturated with the "token puzzle/action game" theme.. so this one would have to stand out above the mediocrity of the competition. If it had a fun puzzle aspect that was easy to pick up and play, I'd find incentive in that. Also, I would find incentive in getting it for free

The system's library is so saturated with crap games, it would take alot of marketing and a unique entertainment value to warrant purchase by a customer at full MSRP.
3. If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?
Honestly I wouldn't. Part of the hobby of RC aircraft is building them and then controlling them in the air. Creation is half the fun of it.. and I think that although the Wii is a great piece of hardware, it graphically isn't capable of creating the visual and audio realism that's part of that fun. The RC hobby is dying though (and has seen some revitilization in the easy-to-use Air Hogs copters, but not that much)... I'd say this would be more of a fun puzzle Toy Commander-esque model for all, instead of closing a target market of RC fanatics that already a very niche group.

Thanks for the contests!!!

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?

Honestly, I wouldn't. Considering Brawl is out and Mario Kart will be out later this month, i'm 100% sure those games would keep a family more entertained than this one would.

2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?

Cheap MSRP and Wifi play.

3. If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?

If I was an RC fanatic and owned a Wii, probably. But only being the latter I can't really say. Nobody would buy a Wii just for this game.

1. Yes, all ages could enjoy the game, but specifically more a father/son game
2. Practice RC flying (depending on controls), multiplayer
3. Perhaps if I was, yes

1. I would recommend Super Smash Bros Brawl. Also, the wii is getting some good puzzle games like Octomania. Minicopter: Adventure Flight might also be a good fit for a family title game.

2. Well it is different from most games since it makes me think of flight simulators.

3. I would definitely buy this game for my kids if I had any.

1. Probably not.
2. That the game looks so shitty it has to be good!
3. ...no.

1. Based on the types of Wii titles coming out, would you recommend this title for family purchase?

No, it doesnt look that family friendly.

2. What would be an incentive for a Wii owner to buy this title?

They'd have to be hardcore into RC or flight sims. The budget price is nice though.

3. If you were a RC fanatic can you or would you see yourself buying this title?

Probably not.

1. Maybe not so much for family, but possibly casual gamer/couples, or just with friends. Basically, anyone with 1 or more players, but less than 4.
2. Multiplayer that stays fun, or good controls.
3. I don't think being an RC fan has as much to do with wanting this game, as being a fan of flying sim type games in general.

1. I'd have to see some reviews before I recommended it to anyone, as it looks a little questionable right now.
2. Cool RC controller, cheap price
3. I'm thinking RC Copter games are few and far between, so I'd probably jump on it.

1. I'd definitely recommend it as a good family title since it's slightly different from the typical Wii molding of Mini-Game-Collection-Equals-Profit.

2. A budget price would do wonders for this game. Parents (or RC types) see this on the cheap rack and it might set it apart from all the big names.

3. Since that's what it is, and if I was a "fanatic," sure. I don't see why not.

1. It depends on the game, if there is a bunch of FUN mini games and gets muti people involved, and the controls where half way decent maybe. But there is other games that would be better for family gamers.
2. Cheap, Cheap and cheaper. Something like this is something you grab because its cheap and you tell your self why not!
3. If I was I might, but since I had the real thing, id probably just play with that instead.

1. No, I would recommend Mario Kart.
2. If it was a WiiWare title for 200 points.
3. Nope.

(1) No -- there are many other family-friendly Wii titles that, based on the first impression of this game, seem like a much better value.
(2) A Wii owner might purchase this game if it has exceptional motion controls, co-op play, or worthwhile online play.
(3) If I were an RC fanatic, I'd probably play with my RC models before I would play this game.
