We won't speak for Rapala Tournament Fishing! or Brunswick Pro Bowling, although if you're going to buy those, you might as well do it at a reduced price. More likely to be cared about is Sonic and the Secret Rings, which might well be $20 worth of game. The best deal is Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition, which, at $20, is about what you'd pay for a new copy of RE4 on the GameCube. If you don't see these on the shelves, just wait until a blueshirt comes by with the "last one" of the game you're looking for.

And I thought I got a deal when I bought Re4 for 30 at Wal-Mart three weeks ago. Oh well, it was worth 30 and it definitely is worth $40.
Anyone know anything about the Sonic game?

I know that I've never played a good Sonic game.

@Tom, RE4:WE always retailed for $29.99...
And none of these look like great deals; $10 off RE4 is nice but I never enjoyed Sonic and the other two are throwaways.

Sonic has a party mode with mini-games that is pretty good, though you cannot practice the games before the challenge, so the first few times you play it is annoying.
I got the game for free in a promotion so I don't feel too bad about this, but I would otherwise. Sonic has that very annoying habit that many new games have of a stupid tutorial before you can play the real game. I got so fed-up with that that I simply only play the party games with my wife and cousins. It is a decent party game, worth $20.
I should probably pay one of my cousins $20 to get through the tutorial so that I can play the actual game considering I got the game itself for free. There is a manual I can read to learn how to do everything after all.

@vidguy, isn't my ignorance to prices amazing? I've owned a Wii for a month and just buy whatever games I think will be good. Sonic might be a good buy just because $20 for a decent game is reasonable in my mind. I won't wait in line for it though.

I bought Sonic and the Secret Rings for $40, and thought it was a decent game for the price. The controls for going backwards are a little wonky, but you don't need to do it that often, and the core game is a good one (Didn't care for the minigames, though). $20 would be a recommended buy in my book.
