Ugh, dang it.

My bank account is going to be taking a big hit this year and next.

This had been a 'maybe' title, but now I really want it.

You're way too fast for me. :P

Review.

This deep, challenging, and beautiful RTS-RPG hybrid is cleverly disguised as a child-friendly introduction to the strategy genre.

The Good

* Gorgeous visuals
* Epic boss battles
* Guaranteed to make you smile through its wit and its charm
* Layered with subtle cross-cultural references.

The Bad

* Some sound effects grate after the first few hours
* Weak story.

The Wii keeps pilling on AA games. I was hoping this would be AAA but that doesnt matter. Still a very good rating!

I was expecting this to be the Wii's first AAAE of the year. Now I don't know what the next game to think that is. Oh well. Nice score. Definitely want this one.

Ya me too, but it's nice to know that the score it got on GS won't be pulling down my library's average rating, cuz I'm going for the Good Taste emblem. :P Okay now I'm going to read the review!

Great score. This, Muramasa and New SMB Wii are going to make my Wii happy this year, and i can't wait anymore for 2010 (specially for Metroid) great year for the Wii so far.

Agreed. The Conduit is overhyped. Little's King Story is going to be underrated.

Ah. I was worried there for a second--it'd be a little hypocritical to be part of the "buy Little King's Story" campaign and not buy the game :P

Why did they review this now, it doesn't come out until July 21, Conduit comes out a month sooner, they should review that so I have an idea of what they really think of it.

That's because the game has been out in Europe for some time now. It's not a premature review.

I've been excited about this game for a while now. I'd still say that it's my most anticipated Wii game of the year, despite the fact that there's a Mario game coming out later this year. Honestly, I was kind of expecting this to get a 9.0, but this is still a great score, and I'll definitely check it out when it comes out.

Still sounds great but I can't help but worry over the small tedious things:

1. Inadequate save system

2. Gibberish supposedly gets annoying.

3. Fights get repetitive.

4. Squeeky sound is apparently awful.

I still have high hopes though!

This is GREAT news! I totally want to buy it now! (before, I was just going to rent it)

I predict that The Conduit will get an 8.0. LKS and The Conduit were my two season-defining games, and it's good to see they are getting high marks.

inadequate save system?

you can only save in your castle... true, but you can automatically teletransportate to your castle anywere anytime so i cant agree here..

BTW is this one have repetitive fights every game too...

Once I clear a load of games from my playlist I'll definitely buy this game. Just might take awhile. I have a lot of games to play, and I'm not exagerrating.

I think it's about right from a adult centric website. They know very few people who come on here will be young so they review it from our perspective, and for a game that is aimed towards the younger generation that is a BRILLIANT review score

llol forget bout tales of there, the other two games you mentioned will blow vesperia out of the water, and therefore leave you feeling very disappointed if you play it after them

I'm surprised the review didn't mention the lack of IR support in this game,which really should have been in the game.

Aimed towards the younger generation? I think not. As one review said: the game dances towards your, throwing flowers in your face, all the while twisting a knife into your back. Little Kings Story is not a game for children. It is a game about tyranny, world domination, polygamy, and more. Do not be fooled. It is a brilliant mature title, and as usual we should pay no heed to Gamespots lame reviews.

If it's not a detriment to the gameplay and the found they weren't complaining "Oh I wish I could just point", then it's not worth mentioning it.
