No we just need to wait for GameSpot and IGN. Hopefully they will see the game for what it actually is and not see that it's just on the Wii.

I Have'nt read all pages of this thread so idk if someone already sent the link but here they are

Ign: http://wii.ign.com/articles/118/1187845p1.html

Gamespot 9/10: http://www.gamespot.com/xenoblade-chronicles/reviews/xenoblade-chronicles-review-6329918/ 

Both reviewed last year when it launched in europe. And I think if i'm not mystaken that Gamespot even gave that game Wii 2011 Game of the Year award over Skyward Sword (wich caused some drama :P)

 

 

Now I have 2 questions to those who already played the game.

1: I heard that the game is best played on the classic controler. I dont have one, will I be fine playing it with wiimote+nunchucks?

2: In every trailers I've seen so far, I always see  shulk and his friends running, running, running and more running. I know that the game is rly huge, but seeing those trailers reminded me of how painfull and boring it was running around Pulse in FFXIII before you could ride chocobos. So my question is - Are they anyway way of transportations to make you go faster or anyway to get you from one area to the other quickly or will I be stucked spending 40% of my game time running slowly to get to places I need to go? (plz dont spoil anything to me, if you get to ride a plane, a dragon or a unicorn I dont wanna know lol, I just want a short answer telling me ''yes, you get to run alot and this can become a problem'' or ''no, you get something to fix this problem eventualy'' or ''you dont get to run as much as it looks in the trailers'' anything that could answer but no spoilers plz :) lol)

Anyway, I know I'm picking up this game tomorow, I got a call from gamestop telling me that I could pick it up tomorow for some reason, maybe because I preordered or because we canadian get it 1day early idk :P
