So, I just beat Pandora's Tower (Wii) and I'm pretty impressed at how solid it was. It always looked like the least interesting of the Operation Rainfall games, but it passed my expectations by quite a bit (and I'd probably put it above Last Story, but I haven't played Last Story in years). If I had to describe it, I'd say it is kind of like a bunch of Twilight Princess hookshot dungeons with a bigger focus on combat than puzzles. Some of the bosses are pretty killer (although there are a few I hate) and the game was a lot of fun to play. There's definitely stuff holding it back, but if that description sounds interesting to you and you can find it for a decent price, I'd definitely recommend it!

So much copy and paste in that game. Same cutscenes over and over and of the 13 towers, they are just cut and paste of like 4 original layouts. It has some cool boss fights though. I found it to be mediocre at best.

Yeah, it definitely had some copy paste. You could skip the repeating cutscenes so those didn't bother me, but they definitely could have reduced the number of "dungeons". There were I believe 5 that "repeated" (the repeated version had a lot of the same geometry but they did have differences in how they were traversed) and then one at the end which was essentially one dungeon with a light/dark world that you jumped between, so I'd say 6 original layouts (I think). 

Still, it clicked with me for some reason. I feel like it was at a real good level of depth for a casual play experience. There was enough going on to be interesting but it was simple enough to not drain my mental energy so it was good to pick up and play.
