A WII game actually got a higher score than 6.0. Wow. I'm going to get it even thought I've never even heard of it. It looks pretty gay but I need to buy a game to justify my WII purchase.

Are you getting this too, Demi?

MCD · « **Reply #1 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:19:12 AM »

Puzzle game...

i dunno, not really my type.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #2 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:19:48 AM »

It's a puzzle game? It looked like a platfomer from the screenshots. lol

demi · « **Reply #3 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:24:33 AM »

I am getting this, yeah

MCD · « **Reply #4 on:** October 23, 2007, 02:26:20 AM »

It's more like a side scrolling adventure full of puzzles.

at least that's from what i saw here:

why are people interested in this? because it has nice graphics for a wii title? that's about it

I like point and click graphical adventures, and this seems to tickle that prostate

MCD · « **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2007, 03:00:37 AM »

Point and Click, yup that's more like it.

game is about 15 hours, and since i am lazy and not in the mood for long games, i just might get it.

though i just remembered something...

i need to get Phoenix Wright 3 first!

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #9 on:** October 23, 2007, 05:39:19 AM »

point and click puzzley goodness, I am unable to resist.
Hell, I'm the guy who bought both Touch Detective games, Zack and Wiki might as well be crack cocaine wrapped in bacon, stuffed in a twinkie, it carries that much appeal to me.

Polari · « **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2007, 05:57:13 AM »

Getting this at some point. I love that Monkey Island vibe.

Rman · « **Reply #11 on:** October 23, 2007, 09:02:29 AM »

I'm definitely picking this up. I really hope it does well. The Wii is not for everyone, but talented developers should be rewarded when a majority of the Wii's 3rd party offerings have been mediocre at best.

GilloD · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2007, 11:05:02 AM »

Next time I'm in New Jersey I'll play this on my parent's Wii. Until then, someone should port it to XBLA.

hyp · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2007, 12:56:22 PM »

this is in my gamefly queue. i was a lucasarts/sierra point n' click whore back in the 286/386 days so this will probably not live up to my expectations. but i'll give it a chance nonetheless.

y2kev · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2007, 01:15:20 PM »

Gamefly queue. It's currently vying for space with Ace Combat and Beautiful Katamari, which I took a dump on and sent back.

Oblivion · « **Reply #15 on:** October 23, 2007, 03:19:45 PM »

I like the setting in this game. I'm a sucker for Tropical Island type environments.

Also, I should probably check out the Monkey Island games sometime.

TVC15 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:30:30 PM »

I'll probably grab this depending on word of mouth. The reviews are good, but I need some trustworthy feedback, aka not from Nintendo fans.

I might be waiting a few months just because money is tight with my dental situation and I already have lots to buy on my plate.

MCD · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2007, 04:41:04 PM »

Nintendo fans to TVC:

personally TVC, i say try it yourself if you can or wait for good impressions from our posters here.

They didn't have it today...

At least the clerk was a hefty hottie. Always worth a visit. He's so nice.

Would I ever do that, my sweet?

I'm gonna have a Wii marathon tonight to get me prepped up for waggle

Trent Dole · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2007, 05:57:42 PM »

An actual good third party Wii game, and they release it around the time SMG hits shelves. Nice work guys.

demi · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2007, 05:58:54 PM »

SMG is next month though, they have a couple weeks going for them

This game looks terrible.

I'll pick it up this weekend and give some feedback.

it's hard to be excited about a maybe good Wii game when 360, PS3, and PC have more absolutely fanfuckingtastically awesome games than there are hours in the day

One of these don't belong.

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #30 on:** October 23, 2007, 09:58:06 PM »

There's at least two A-level games this fall (Ratchet, Uncharted) which is two more than Wii.

But yes, PS3 pales next to 360 and PC.

EDIT: One more, maybe. But I find it hard to care about Galaxy.

tiesto · « **Reply #31 on:** October 23, 2007, 11:17:58 PM »

What, the 5th Ratchet game in like 5 years is more exciting than Galaxy??? Sometimes the Nintendo hate goes a bit too far around here, completely clouding up any kind of rationality. Uncharted might be good, though, but likely won't have anything on Fire Emblem, Zack and Wiki or Galaxy.

How does Uncharted have nothing on the umpteenth Fire Emblem a series unchanged since its original iteration?

drohne · « **Reply #33 on:** October 24, 2007, 12:23:16 AM »

i think the new fire emblem has terrain. the series has finally made it to 1992. some 20 years from now it might produce a game fit to hold tactics ogre's jockstrap

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #34 on:** October 24, 2007, 12:34:08 AM »

Since when is 7.5 considered A-level?

I've actually been ignoring this game because I thought GAF was just hyping up some crappy no name game, but it's getting good reviews. *adds to Wii game list*

Edit: And according to gamespot, it's a better game than the new Ratchet.

There's no need to be ashamed of that post. PDZ was a POS that was overrated because it was 1)one of the first next-gen games 2)a sequel to an oldie that was better in people's memories than it really was.

MCD · « **Reply #38 on:** October 24, 2007, 03:01:16 AM »

3) Rare, 4) multiplayer was good according to reviews anyway.

i just hope they get it better with PD2 and Banjo 3.

The fact that I like SRPGs more than 3D action games?

All non-gamers love Wii sports. I show them GT5 and no one would give a fuck but they go crazy once I bring out the WII.

I got my copy today, and a new Zelda. Good to dive into after finishing Prime

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #51 on:** October 25, 2007, 04:43:39 PM »

Zelda is good. Even the visuals are pretty decent although some of the character models look like they came out of a Dreamcast game. I think you'll like it more than MP3. The problem with MP3 is that so many great FPS games came out the last couple of months. And MP3 is a FPS game no matther what the dumb N-kids say.

TVC15 · « **Reply #52 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:06:57 PM »

The first three dungeons in TP are bad. The tear collecting is atrocious; yes, worse than the triforce hunt in WW. The entire first half of TP is so blatantly bad. I have no idea why Nintendo didn't take that game away from Aowhatever.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #53 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:13:44 PM »

Yeah, the beginning of TP did kinda suck. I forgot about it 'cause it was fun once things got rolling.

MCD · « **Reply #54 on:** October 25, 2007, 05:15:17 PM »

I was unemployed and drunk when I played TP so the pace didn't bother me. I probably would have quit it now.

I was stuck in bumfuck PA over the holidays, or else I probablyw ould have shitcanned the thing after the first dungeon.

Even when it gets good, I wasn't very impressed. People (like Prole) kept telling me that it got awesome at Arbiter's Grounds. It got better there, yes, but I think that had as much to do with no longer having to collect shitty tears than anything else. I didn't think it was anything special. The second half is better, but it's still not great.

there is barely any life in the game, just temple here and temple there.

Man I totally feel you. The other day I was playing megaman and I beat a level, a long level too, and then guess what after I beat it, there was another level waiting for me! Just waiting there for me and I was like "what the hell man, I just beat a level!"

While TP doesn't have the most side quests in a zelda game it still as enough things to do in between levels if you go looking for them.
