Fate of Atlantis - Just plain amazing



Around the Network

Ouch. This wasn't unexpected, but still



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Is Fate of Atlantis any good on the Wii? If so, then one waits for the price to drop, and picks it up just for that.



Well duh. The commercial starts out as "Not actual gameplay shown." And then when it switches to "Wii gameplay sample" it looks....fuzzy? Besides the graphics, the animations also seemed lacking. I dunno. Just seems like an attempt at cashing in on the franchise.



Am I the only one who actually wants games that are purely motion-based? Isn't that what the Wii was specifically designed for?

I'm still going to try this.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Should have been cancled like the 360/PS3 game.

No, I right with you there.   I love games like Red Steel and Godfather where motion is extensively used.  And reviews on Amazon from users for this are highly positive.  It's not perfect but it's fun and I havn't really seen anyone else complain about the motion controls being a problem from users or reviewers.   Most people love it - this reviewer is out of touch with the Wii base.  

The game is linear, light on story, short, not graphically wowing, and the puzzles are butt easy on that everyone agrees but it's fun and worth getting according to everything else I've seen.

I'm definately getting this but not this month (Tiger Woods and Conduit got my $$) and not next (WSR, RE Archives or Virtua) but maybe in a slow month after a price drop.

Pretty much what I plan on doing.

This is one of the harsher reviews the game has got. I've seen others in the seven range.

What is Fate of Atlantis?



Thats real shitty.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
