10 Incredible Forgotten Games From Massive Studios

Roundly viewed as the safe, family friendly console, the Nintendo Wii managed to capitalise on this image for all seven years it was in production. Most of us have fond memories of battering the air to Wii Sports, Mario and Sonic, yet a few edgier games managed to seep through.

Disaster: Day of Crisis offers players the opportunity to face natural disasters, terrorists and survival situations head-on, in typically immersive and interactive fashion, resulting in a panic-inducing game unlike pretty much anything else (and especially any non-horror) seen at the time. Despite it not being a natural fit for the console, that didn’t stop Monolith going hell for leather on this one, with shooting, driving, swimming, running, physical puzzles, minigames and more. And that’s without mentioning the Hitman-style stealth levels.

It feels and sounds like a straight-to-video action movie, but then that’s most of the fun - where else would you get the chance to actually be in one of these things?

And yet, because the game’s excellence is tied so closely to the Wii’s interactive system and mechanics, when the console went out, the game went with it. And, given its original North American release was cancelled due to poor sales in other territories, nobody currently in the market - least of all Monolith - is in any hurry to rediscover it.
