Billy the Wizard Data Design Interactive Conspiracy Entertainment, Wii
ESRB E September 28, 2007

I’m not sure about the history of Conspiracy Entertainment, but the games they’ve released lately on the Wii haven’t been the best games available. I”ve played some crazy games where the game play was fun but it lacked in different aspects whether it be balanced controls, challenging objectives, or plot, however Billy the Wizard lacks all three and still isn’t fun. Players can race, collect objects, or fight an enemy as well as race friends, play capture the flag, or compare the accuracy of their flying skills with opponents.
Some games start players off with a mandatory tutorial, however Billy the Wizard starts the game off with every feature unlocked. There is a Wizard School with will ease players into the game however its not available in multiplayer. So players can jump right in to the game with no explanation, however game play isn’t intuitive since players must use the nunchuck to control the broom, pressing Z to move and c to slow down.  Overall this game will mostly appeal to a younger audience, possibly the same kids who would come to the library for a Harry Potter Party.
Overall: 3.5 of 10
Playability: 2 of 5
Social: 3 of 5
Originality: 3 of 5
