AA

Great score!

Wow, another AA for the Wii. That is nice to see. :)

This is one of those games that seemingly came out of absolutely nowhere... I had never even heard of it until it started getting rave reviews.

Ahhh, that would explain things.

Those darn Europeans, holding out on us with their great games and all. :x

The strangest thing about the game though is that it's made by Ubisoft...

...

...and it's good. :|

Published by Ubisoft. Not made by Ubisoft.

The companies that made it are internal studios of Ubisoft.clicketyclick

The developer is Related Designs, and Ubisoft only owns a 30% stake in the company.

...At any rate, saying that Ubisoft made it makes it sound as if the same people who made such thrilling titles as "Imagine: Babies" also made this game, which is not exactly correct.

It's made by Sunflowers Interactive (Keen Entertainment and BlueByte), which is completely owned by Ubisoft, acquired a couple years ago.clicketyclick

In looking it up... yeah, it looks like that's the case for the Wii version, at least.

And I don't understand your objection to making it sound like it's the same people who made Babiez (with a Z, Gabu!). I mean, so? Prince of Persia was also made by Ubisoft, which also made Babiez. So what?clicketyclick

Well, considering your post, I think it's rather clear what you were saying. :P

Also, Prince of Persia was made by Ubisoft Montreal, also not the same people who made Babyz. Get your Ubisoft right! ;)

It's still a branch of Ubisoft, and that's my point. What's incorrect about saying it's Ubisoft when it is, ultimately, Ubisoft who made it? Why are you trying to cover up this awful slip in their track record, heretofore unblemished by a single good game? Hm? That's what I want to know.

PS. did they really not pluralise it when they added the Z on the end? Babyz? Seriously? Ugh.

Don't worry, my precious Ubisoft! Don't let the mean woman hurt you. :cry: You still suck, I swear! :(

They could even use that as a good excuse to unveil a new Wii peripheral, too.

I got the pc version of this a few days ago, a great game which is vastly more complex than the Wii version. Wii still sounds quite good though.

I really want this game. It looks awesome.
