Wii Paradise

As many of you know, a few weeks ago, I was able to attend the EA (Play Label) Blogger Day.  While there, I was there, one game I was not expecting to enjoy that much was NERF N-Strike Elite.  It follows up on the story of the original NERF N-Strike, where 2 players can fully cooperate through the first-person on-rail levels with a choice of 4 characters.  Each character is able to carry 4 customizable blasters at a time, switching between them with the D-Pad on the Wii Remote.  The big difference between this game and its predecessor is that the included NERF blaster contains a “Red Reveal,” allowing you to view ememy weaknesses and codes to access special areas of the game.  As with the original game, it doubles as a real NERF blaster, allowing you to shoot darts at your little sister or pesky neighbor.
