When I saw the game last friday, I remembered, that a guy from the internet (with no name) hyped the game and I thought I may try it. When I put the disc in my wii and started the game I heard the "Bolero" and I fell instantly in love with the game.
I have already beaten the first king and I am exploring a little bit right now.
There were a few points which annoyed me with the game, but the most awesome thing is, that the game "repaired" those annoyances itself. For instance in the beginning I always read that Harald and Cynthia fell in love. But there was no easy method to select those two. A little bit later in the game I got offered to upgrade my podium and the problem was solved.
Than I had a problem, that my followers had problems with brigdes and obstacles and where left behind. A little bit later in the game I was able to buy a new formation and the problem was solved again.
Now the only thing I miss is the wakeup-music. In the beginning there was a classical themed wake-up music. But I don't hear this anymore ... but who knows, maybe I just have to wait a little bit and the game will "repair" this also.

Additional Note: The german localisation is extremely well done.

I guess nonames hype machine is working.

@noname2200, add vooks review also. they scored it at 9.1

I did, actually. I left a comment there, but in essence, nicely done!

Glad to hear I could help!

My overlords at CiNG will be pleased...

Will do. Any link you can give me?

I am now 3 hours in. I would be 7 hours in, but my girlfriend decided to play and accidentally saved over my file!  I have to say brilliant game. I didn't even mind restarting (though was a bit miffed when first I found out!).

I can't believe the bugger hasn't appeared on the chart this week. I'm sure it has sold more than enough to chart. Perhaps it's just carried in the stores Brett uses. Who knows.

I'd love this game to succeed. It truly deserves it.

Little King's Week One Sales: A Story Written In Words, by noname2200:

Europe, April 24th, 2009

P.S. New review, Vandal Online, 94. Current Metacritic rating: 89.

European first week sales of Little King's Story: 4.773 Units

First week sales of comparable games on Wii:

5.472 Units for Pikmin 2

5.405 Units for Pikmin 1

at least with the sales - games like my sims kingdom didn't sell many more first week in comparrison and it'sd steadily crawling it's way to a million seller.

This game needs advertising cos if you dont read the internet you're not gonna know this game exists.
