discoalucard said:I played this a little while ago at a Nintendo World Store event. It takes a bit of getting used to, since there's no lock-on and the camera control is a bit clumsy, but it's actually a lot of fun. It looks fantastic for a Wii game - something vaguely on the level of Psychonauts, at least visually - and it even plays a little bit better. Maybe an actiony version of Chibi Robo is a better comparison, since you're running around in large scaled environments. It might end up being a bit on the short side (developers said about ten hours in length) but I think that's perfect for an action platformer.
There are also TONS of different weapons and powers to use. There's easily over two dozen primary weapons, in additional to psychic powers and whatnot. If you hit an enemy to the point where they're bleeding, you can point at them with the remote and cause them to spin out and explode, damaging every bad guy in the area.

It's fine. Remember, this is not strictly a combat game, more a platformer with combat added. Did SMG have lock-on?
Isn't it the opposite?comedy bomb said:Nintendo Power gave the Wii version an 8.0 and the DS version a 5.0

Great art and soundtrack. Game design feels archaic however. Compares it to PS1 platformers...straight forward jumping and switch puzzles. Combat is mindless and sloppy.
