Wow that was a fast post.

Pretty good score. Seems like a good game.

Oh will you look at that. Gamespot has a typo in the review:



Had to point it out :P.

I'll get it eventually, but not right yet. I'm sure the price will come down by January. That gives me enough time to play catch up: Okami and Super Paper Mario need to be played at some point, yes?

It still has busted controls. *shakes head*

It's a shame. Not interested before, definitely not interested now.

I prefer IGN reviews over GS reviews anyway. GS has gone downhill in a big way IMO.

About what I expected. Looks like loads of fun, but brevity is one of the biggest negatives a game can have, IMO.

I'm still seeing an 8.5.

The Wario Land score was foreseeable.

I felt the same way. My friends pretty much forced me to watch it (wasnt really interested in it). Glad they did.

These end up being some of the more frustrating levels to navigate and come off feeling like cheap control gimmicks that have been thrown in simply to reiterate that everything is being controlled by one magical white wand--albeit badly.GameSpot

:lol: ouch! Good review though.

Once you've completed them, any level from any zone can be repeated at will if you find yourself a bit low on cash. Captain Syrup's store also carries potions for extra credits and heart-vessel upgrades, giving you an additional point of life. These also scale in cost, and you may find yourself grinding gold on easy levels to simply unlock all abilities after you've ponied up for maps.GameSpot

This seems like bad level design. Also, this game suffers from the same illogic that Metroid Prime Hunters did. If after defeating a boss, you're on a timer to evacuate a world and you die if you don't make it out in time, it doesn't make sense that you can revisit that world at your leisure. If it's on a timer, it should go splody. If it doesn't, then it was a poorly thought-out gimmick.

I prefer GS reviews to IGN reviews because they don't overrate and over-hype games. The only exception is WiiWare.
