My review of LIT (WiiWare)

This game is probably one of the more original (although it is a stretch since it is a puzzle game like... the entire wiiware lineup) games. It's from WayForward, those awesome 2D pixel artists behind Contra 4, and others I guess. But LIT is 3D, and its ugly as fuck 3D. Dreamcast looked better. I mean really go play Blue Stinger man.

Of course, it's not even widescreen, so mega fail there. The puzzles all designed around the basis of LIGHT (you know, LIT) and you're in this haunted or demonic school and you have to make it from one end to the other by using the various sources of light. You use your flashlight to scour the area and scope out what you can use. This could be a lamp, a computer, a TV, a window, or other crap. You maneuver around by shooting out the various windows in a room (apparently its a REALLY bright moon and zomg he cant just climb out the fuckin window) and maneuver in a criss cross pattern, unless a computer or TV brighten a certain area up. I've done about... 6 levels, and they all acted out the same.

I made it to some boss character, but the same concept was still in play, only I had to use the various light sources to hurt the figure, who would then smash said source and I would have to find another. It's easier to see if you play it. There's minimal waggle involved. You use the remote to shine your light around, you recharge your flashlight (jerking off), or to throw cherry bombs. The nunchuk is used to move your character around.

Overall, this game is better than World of Goo. Man, what a pile of fail that was.

This looks interesting - I wonder how long the 30 levels would last.

Lack of widescreen is a huge turnoff though.  :(

I just played the World of Goo demo for a while before I got bored.
