For those of us who live in North America and still can't get this game, here is a nice long video with lots of combat. The Youtube user also has about nine other videos of him playing the game. As far as I can tell it's not an off screen camera. It seems like there might be a few control quirks that might have been handled better with the pointer, but who am I to judge? I haven't even played the game.

Also, for what it's worth, VGChartz has reported less than 5000 copies sold in the PAL region on opening weekend. And I also found this chart which claims LKS debuted at #12 in the UK sales charts. Not promising...

EDIT: Not letting me link the chart, so here is the URL: http://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110030

Mushroom hunting never looked like so much fun. Love how it tells you you've got good fungus. LOL

Thanks for the link to those videos they are nice. I don't think debuting #12 in the UK charts is a bad thing.

chart track just tracks the UK i think. its very difficult to get full pal figures (which would include australia and europe among some other places). UK is europes biggest gamig market though so thats not a great sign. debuting at 12 isnt to shabby though.

I really hope this game sells well, because it's a great game and it really deserves to sell. I think it's probably the best game this year so far, even beating out RE5 (although they are completely different). I've been playing for 16 about hours and I think I still have at LEAST 10 hours to go, so it's not a short game either.

I would imagine that your 25-30 hour experience would be just to get to the end... Perhaps not, but I have read in many previews that this is going to be a very long game. @DDRMom: The game looks to have a great sense of humour. I can't wait!

i thought the same about animal crossing but i ended up loving the game.This looks better.Then again is your opinion, maybe you dont like AC either but so much people do, and thats the idea,right?nothing can appeal everyone, not MG4, nor Zelda(which to me is a bit boring too, being honest-and i speak from my own experience not other players videos). And on topic, i dont worry much about UK sales, its, a ..special market and a bit different. Is a smaller market than US/Jp, and they have different tastes. Personally i think LKS will have a slow but steady start in US and it will downright sell well in japan.

Looks like a lot of fun. And ranking #12 isn't too bad. It's not amazing, but it could be worse.

I agree. It looked kinda dull. Harvest Moon type RPG's with a stronger emphasis on chores and such weren't really my thing. I was more into the combat oriented ones. This just doesn't look like my kinda deal. I'll keep watching it though in case something can persuade me otherwise but until then give me some zombies to slaughter and I'll be all good.

Something like 11 AAA scores and 3 AA scores in it's first 14 reviews ( average 88 ). The hype is clearly justified.

Because it is a fantastic game and just about everybody who has played it, myself included, have said as much. The gameplay videos don't compare at all to experiencing the game first hand.
