{WII VERSION REVIEW} I just watched all of iCarly and wanted ti finish it by playing the 4 Wii and DS games, starting with this Wii one. As far as mini game collections go based on existing IP, i’ve seen worse (The Chuck E Cheese games come to mind). This is more of a WarioWare knock off though, which is at least a little more interesting of a concept. Theres some okay callbacks to the show, things like Nevel obviously, Lewbert, Mandy, the baby chicks. Very much so up to season the iGotoJapan special in terms of references. The writing is pretty awful as to be expected, but it is cool that there is ALOT of voice acting in the game, all by the main cast. I also hate how much Nevel says Rue in this. Its like the only joke the game has. Not gonna blow any minds but also not a terrible thing to play if you want to completely exhaust the iCarly extended media catalog and got a free night. (I do like the included bonus behind the scenes videos, they are a cool extra)

Carly has a dream and in it she was going out with Freddie, and in the dream, Sam was jealous.
Sam responds to a poem Freddie sends her; Sam says: "Thanks for the poem. I have one for you. Carly will never love you. The End."
There is an e-mail from the Library to Freddie that says "The book you reserved, 'How To Be a Non-Geek Techie' is now in." There is also one to Sam that says "The book '1001 Jokes About Geeks' is overdue."
Some of the main dialogue in the game is Seddie-ish.
Freddie tells Sam about a Meat Market. Sam thanks Freddie and tells him if there's a Meathead Market, he'll be the first to know.
In "iCarly 2; iJoin the Click," Sam quotes many lines from "iDate Sam and Freddie," such as "Give mama some sugar," and "Should I chew with my mouth closed?!"

iCarly for Nintendo DS is a mini-game collection, which some people have compared to Wario Ware. I have not played Wario Ware, so... suck it, this is the best Wario Ware game I've played. And, I'm going to be brutally honest here... the game is actually kinda fun? The game starts with a “Choose a funny name!” screen, where you choose a “funny” name, such as “Ew! Ew! Ew! Etc.” or “Bubble Butt”. I chose “Suckish’, because I expected the game to suck, I mean c’mon. But to my surprise, I enjoyed it.

As I mentioned before, iCarly is a mini-game collection, featuring some unusual activities, such as finding chicks in the dark, or decorating a Christmas tree with noses, or dressing a dog as a cow and a tiger. The mini-games do repeat, but usually they’re changed enough to feel slightly different and more difficult. Usually, some are pretty much the same thing, like a crane mini-game or the dark maze where only things changed are items you pick (or “pick”) and the layout of the maze, respectively. All of these mini-games utilize the touch screen. The only big issue I have with the game, is if you fail any of the mini-games, you have to start from the very beginning of the Webisode, which is pretty annoying. The difficulty of the mini-games is also inconsistent, you can have the second last mini-game be hard, and then the last one be much easier, or the very first mini-game be very hard, and the next one being a breather. There are also mini-games exclusive to DSi, which make use of camera and microphone, which I actually like, first one is about finding various colors with the camera. Even with a little repetition, I did like the mini-games and the creativity. The game is pretty short, which is typical for licensed games, but this one was really short, I beat it in under 2 hours. Of course, you can quick play the mini-games if you like them that much or “iBreak Records” which is unlocked after beating the game.

The graphics and music are alright, though the latter, some of the tracks can be a tad repetitive. The story is fully voice-acted, which is nice.

Overall, a genuine surprise, it probably helps that I’ve played a few bad or average games beforehand, but I liked iCarly DS. I’m not saying it’s a goooooooooood game, but I thought it was decent, and enjoyable enough. And I’m sure I’ll be damned for exclaiming that this game is good-ish.
