7.0
Presentation
Simple, intuitive menus, predictable storyline, but a great mix of 2D-style platforming values with updated Wii remote mechanics.
8.0 Graphics
A beautiful WiiWare game. Polished quasi-3D environments come to life with style and effects like depth-of-field and bloom. Framerate occasionally hitches.
8.0 Sound
Different, refreshing. Lots of flutes and birds. Fits beautifully with the theme and style of the game.
8.0 Gameplay
Great fun. Controlling the wind with the Wii remote feels good and there are lots of clever puzzles designed to challenge your mind and hand.
5.0 Lasting Appeal
Fun while it lasts, but way too short -- about three hours. No ranking or leader board system, no WFC support, no online, shallow coop multiplayer. Of course, it's only $10.

 

Very good game for a wiiware

end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

I noticed that about IGN scores before...

I think they include other factors, such as price.

Is this basically just like kirby canvas curse, but you have wind instead of a little rainbow line?

Wow a wiiware game beats most fully third party fledged wii games. The game is wondeful. If ony it was longer it would deserve a 9/10

^ LOL Wiiware games were better than most retailed games. Sad but true...
