WiiWare World reviews MLE game

WiiWare World has the first detailed post-release review of the Major League Eating video game which concludes:

Many people no doubt will get a kick out of MLE’s light-hearted and vaguely adolescent approach to competitive gameplay. It offers a unique blend of concepts wrapped around a somewhat distasteful premise and vulgar humour. But, most importantly, the core design works. It is surprisingly fun challenging your friends to virtual eating contests and the additional strategy offered by the power-ups keeps things interesting when they aren’t driving you crazy. The ability to turn off specific power-ups in order to recreate a standard eating contest would have been a nice option to have, but this was not to be. As it stands, the developers decided it was best to leave everything on the plate and invite gamers to accept a meal with perhaps one too many flavours.

6/10

    Here’s another

    Major League Eating is a pretty good casual fighting game, a chaotic wagglefest with enough technical gameplay to reward skill and enough randomness to give flailers a chance. I’ll never make use of it myself, but the availability of online multiplayer will be a selling point for some.

    3/4
