Forums - Nintendo - WiiWare: Eternity's Child (New Gameplay) + Extras

First Off, I apologize for not being able to embed the video properly, if it doesnt work use the link.

LINK: http://www.gametrailers.com/game/9981.html

IMPRESSIONS: Best looking WiiWare title to date (even against Gyrostar), the character animation is a little lacking and the gameplay is pretty simple but looks like a ton of fun just exploring the levels. Background looks sweet, and the music...well the music is either you love it or you hate it.

Also there are exclusives to the WiiWare version of Eternity's Child. One is extra levels and the other exclusive is a 4-player mode. You can find proof at thier website.

What do you think? This will probably be my second WiiWare title to date, granted they fix the problems.

EDIT

Well theres good news and then theres bad news.

BAD NEWS: http://www.destructoid.com/destructoid-review-eternity-s-child-97583.phtml

Besides the music, the reviewers didn't like anything in the version they played. Here are some highlights:

I have to say this: Eternity's Child is the worst game I've played in several years.

The graphics, one might think, look great: the game looks awfully beautiful.

In motion, the game looks as good as, if not worse than, most flash games you might find on Newgrounds.

The character animations are incredibly stiff

The soundtrack is excellent

Unless you feel like memorizing, a bunch of proper nouns and abstract plot points the game throws at you in its first five minutes then the story of Eternity's Child will be irrelevant at best, and nonexistent at worst.

Let's talk about how the jump button only responds to your input about a third of the time, leading you to fall to your doom for no good reason.

There is nothing good about this game.

GOOD NEWS:

"After all that what could possibly be the good news?" your thinking, well the version they played was not the WiiWare version so theres still a chance for the indy developers to fix the bugs and polish the gameplay before it releases. Theres some hope left anyway that it wont totally suck. Sadly, I think im going to have to take back what I said earlier about picking this game up.

I think this game would actually look finished if they'd bothered to include some freakin' animations!

Wait isn't this the game that is only going to be available in EU? ): I want it.



A slice of the Destructoid review posted on gonintendo.com:

To summarize: the graphics are bad, the story is irrelevant, the level design is horrendous, the shooting is sloppy and the platforming mechanics are even worse. Yeah, there’s a level editor, but saying the level editor makes the game better is like giving someone a crudely-drawn picture of a penis along with a pencil, and saying the pencil makes the picture itself better because you could hypothetically improve it.
