DarkeSword Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 So who got it? I bought it yesterday but didn't get a change to play it (I'm concentrating on Phoenix Wright 3). My little brother likes it, and from what I watched of the intro, it seems pretty light-hearted. THOUGHTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Was looking forward to this game but didn't think to reserve it and apparently all of Seattle is sold out of it . Hoping to get it when it gets restocked within the next several days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I was interested-but-not-interested until i read a few reviews and saw it had 2 player co-op. I love games that are multiplayer and co-op. I'll be picking it up as soon as I can find a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 It's great. Only thing I don't like is that it has no real voice acting (hearing "ZA-KUUUU!" for almost everything Wiki says is annoying). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWarp Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Quirky, inventive, stylish. This game impresses right from the get-go. At $40, this game is a great proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Falling Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I'm guessing it'll be a while before it hits Europe, but I definitely had an interest in it when we first learned about it. IGN is going crazy over this title, but I'd hate to be dissapointed in the end. I hear there's about 20 levels, of which some can take up to an hour to solve, so length wise, it should be decent, but I'm worried about re-play value, seeing how once you know how to solve a level, it is pretty much done and "spoiled". Even though there's supposed to be alternative ways of beating a level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfold Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Got my hands on this game tonight...played through 3 levels so far, and am just now starting a 4th. So far, it's been a lot of fun...a little different than I had anticipated, but I really like it (for some reason, I had though it was going to be a little more open than confined to stages, but it's definitely not bad the way it is). I never played the oldschool adventure games like Monkey Island, so I can't comment on how it measures up to others in the genre. The controls are reasonable, and the only time I got particularly annoyed with the controls was when doing that bell ringing rhythm minigame thing (I know I was on beat, but it didn't register each time). The music is pretty fun so far, though some of the sound effects and whatnot can get a little grating. Graphics are pretty nice and colorful; good presentation overall. All in all, it's been a good time so far, now back to the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough trial and error found me a solution to that. Bell shaking only registers when you hold the wii remote vertically, and thrust forward and back, NOT left and right. I also had trouble with the fishing controls. Still have no idea how they work. SPOILERS Boss 2 I died a couple of times fighting the ice boss. Apparently there are multiple ways the action can occur. Essentially, either Captain Rose attempts to flee and gets frozen, or she doesn't. I've beaten the boss if she doesn't get frozen, but can't win when she does. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I want this game, but I cannot seem to find it at any local stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Kwarp: There are 3 statues in the upper part of the room, 1 on the left and 2 on the right. There is an empty spot where a statue has been destroyed on the left, place Rose there and grab a mirror from one of the statues (only one will give up their the mirror) and put it in her hands. You can then use her to deflect the light or whatever that stuff is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well I finally did get a chance to play a bit over the weekend and it's an absolute blast. I've gone back to a few missions to try and find some fun stuff to do. Here's one that's hilarious: In the mission where you have to put the goblins to sleep with the soup, ring the bell and turn them into blocks after you get them to sleep. You can then pick up the block and drop it into the soup. Once the camera goes back to the normal scene, the block starts slowly sinking into the soup. Ring the bell to turn the block back into the goblin. The music that plays is so sinister. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last lvl of the 3rd area, and this game just keeps getting better. The boss fight levels have been really interesting so far...can't wait to see what's next!

Raziellink Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Metroid Prime 3 landed last week. Next to WoW, i have no time for other games. But seriously, the screenshots i've seen, make it seem....quite kiddy? Or are the looks deceiving in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Don't be fooled. This is a thinking man's game. It's not a standard-generic-mascot-platformer. It's an old-school adventure game with rube-goldberg devices and puzzle solving. Plus it really makes good use of the Wiimote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XZero Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Everyone should own this game. It is the best third party Wii effort, bar-none. Get it now and support Capcom; a third-party Wii game that actually controls well is worthwhile, and I promise that given a few weeks, no one will be able to find the game.

JoeFu Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Capcom's mistake was making it look "kiddy" even though I don't care. I loved the cel-shaded look of this game. I just got to the fishing part because I've been playing PW3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I keep trying to convince a friend that this is actually a great game, however, he keeps saying it looks stupid and "juvenile". He then complained how the Wii wasn't getting enough "cool" (violent) games. God, some people.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mac Attack Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 It's unfortunate that people have such perceptions based on the visual style of games. I suspect that's why Psychonauts didn't do too well. And another thing that's unfortunate is that the game's been delayed to sometime in 2008 in Australia. Looks like I won't be purchasing any games this Christmas. (yes, I'm aware of Super Mario Galaxy, but I don't want to get it right away ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Stuck at the airship so far, finally got the map but couldn't escape(whats up with the frog and rose?). Most deaths so far goes to this one. I'm guessing I'm missing one little thing I could do before I steal the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devyn Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Bought the game last night. I got ran over by a huge boulder. Will continue tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 That was my first death too... The bosses are pretty cool though. The second and third are particularly nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I beat the second boss, at last, and I'm into the third area now. Really liking it, but my time is stretched between 2 other games as well: Dewy's Adventure and Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecilff2 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Agh I finally figure out the airship and I accidentally pick up a totem on my way back out and drop the map without remembering to pick it back up. I was like FINALLY I'M THROUGH. Wiki: Where's the map? AAAGHHHh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBiggler Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 So a friend just bought me this game for my b-day, and I hadn't heard much about it until about 2 days ago. She gave me a gift reciept, but between what folks are saying here and some of the reviews I've read it seems like I should give this one a shot (and it was a gift; on principle I should keep it). I'm gonna rip into it as soon as I get back from work tonight. Hope it's as fun as y'all claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
