As I said in OP I played it on hard.

Ahh, sorry, missed that.

The first two or three levels aren't that great, as i've got further into the game though they get much better.

It gets quite epic with all the disasters you face.

I agree on both points.

I might even go as far to say a must own game for Wii owners.

I hesitate to go quite that far. Although I personally feel that the game ends up being greater than the sum of its parts, I think that some will feel the game suffers too much as a mishmash of gameplay styles, each of which is implemented somewhat less than perfectly. I would say, without a doubt, that it is at least a must-rent.

On a moderately unrelated note, I ended up comparing (perhaps unfairly) Disaster to Fatal Frame IV, simply because the two were released relatively close to each other and I played them back to back. In my opinion, FF excels in every area that Disaster stumbles: production values, story, consistent gameplay. I can easily recommend FFIV, without hesitation.
