If I'd seen it when I was on my yearly New Year shopping spree yesterday, I had switched out Oneechanbara for it. Maybe.

The game isn't perfect, but you'll have sooo much fun playing the game. Buy it!

I'd say buy it. As noname said, it was worth it at $50, definitely worth it at $40. And it's $36.99 on Amazon right now.

Yeah, I think you will like it. I see it more as a Pikmin-Animal Crossing-Age of Empires hybrid myself, but Pikmin definitely seems to be the main inspiration for the game.

Most overlooked game on the Wii IMO, you won't regret it. And yes it is definitely worth the $40.

i thought it got really boring half way through, but you will likely have a hard time finding it if you wait
