I'm happy with some of these community mini-reviews I've been seeing - it's given me renewed interest in this game. I was really bummed that this game was turning out to be complete crap - but it seems there are definitely some redeeming qualities and it's worth a second look...

 

The game is far from crap... You can ban me if you pick it up and find it totally crap. :)

anyone know if there is a difference between this and the wii version,besides controls?

 

I am not sure about the wii version. I'm guessing visuals have been turned down a notch but thats fine...controls have me a little worried. Its barely managable with a 360 controller... They will need to be really careful when doing the Wii versions controlls as the game is quite complex due to the interesting inventory mixing system.



I'm gonna trust you disolitude because my cousin ask me my opinion for buy this game for the 360,and after others reviews I get caution around this game,specially with the Wii's version,so you really recommend it?

  Now THAT is a man that stands behind his opinion!!!

Ok, I'm gonna hold you to that - and I don't care what Naz thinks about it. If the game sucks and I waste $50 on it, you're toast!!!  :P

 

Its a win win situation!

I don't know what your tastes in gaming are...but even if you dislike this type of game I'm pretty sure you will be impressed with some aspects of it. May be best to rent it first and see if you like it...

Take a look at the IGN review...

7.5 Presentation
There's plenty to like, from interfaces to the the DVD-style chapter select, but as a whole the game lacks polish.
8.0 Graphics
Atmospheric use of fire, fog and shadow, but poor animation and first-gen plastic sheen takes the edge off detailed characters and environments.
7.5 Sound
There's a beautiful score, used sparsely, but uneven voice acting and strange effects work are detrimental.
7.0 Gameplay
It's frequently thrilling and refreshingly imaginative. However, frustrating segments and some awful design decisions threaten to derail proceedings.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
Without the tedious tree-trouncing, you're looking at around ten hours. Needless padding is so painful though, it's a chore to complete.
7.0
Decent
OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)

 

It got a 7...and if you read the comments they are 90% positive. I don't get how it can get a 7 when looking at those scores.

Erm, actually no - why, is that a problem??? Honestly, I don't even like videogames. I think they're a waste of time and money. I only come here to ridicule people and flash my might by banning people once in awhile...    ...do you still think I'll like the game?

 

:P

 

 lol, In that case it was nice knowing you VGChartz...

@brute

Yeah IGNUK it is...
