Summary:
- This game it's the kind of great art that the masses will only learn to love once time has passed and the creator is dead.
- Very good and positive story. It feels really nicee to play a game with such focus on positive actions.
- Story is focused on japaneses myths, but the game deals with old problems that trascend the ambient.
- Great pacing, where story leads the player, instead of forcing the player to play catch up with the story. Scenarios are designed to ease the teale effortlessly.
- Combat starts pretty slow, but as techniques and brush powers appear, it becomes more enjoyable. Puzzles, exploration, and the like have a notable level. Everything flows seamlessly.
- Celestial brush has an impact on the gameplay, but in the end it's not totally relevant. It adds variety and options for the player, but it's not the driving force. It benefits from the Wii pointer.
- Have no words to describe the incredible graphical and sounding setting. Breathtaking.
- Some minor problems with technical issues.
- No translation can't be explained.
- Thanks to clover for creating such wonderfull game. Thanks to Ready at Dawn for doing a pretty good job porting the game to the Wii under a huge time constraint. Thanks to Capcom for letting this game be enjoyed by Wii owners and gamers alike.
- 5/5
