IGN's Review

Game Informer's Review(8.75 Second Opinion)

1UP's Review

GameTrailer's Review

Looks and sounds beautiful. Interesting to see IGN give this the lowest score out of the bunch, especially coming from Bozon. He is usually too generous to Wii games, in my opinion. He seemed pretty frustrated with the controls. Anyways, it sounds great to me, and I can't wait to play it! And guess what? It's only $40!

If the game does not sale according to expectations or there is a lack of hype, it would be candidate for "sleeper hit of the year."

I dont think there was very much hype for that game, certainly less then Demon Souls (which is considered a sleeper hit). I think it may have a chance assuming Gamespot gives it 8.0+

How is Batman a sleeper hit? It got a lot of hype, and sold really well.

Nah not really, I consider DS easily as this years sleeper hit... I mean first impressions of SW was "lol crappy gameplay" **** gfx" "looks boring/dull" "retarted hard"... Then all of a sudden everyone loves it when proven so wrong.

it didn't get that much hype until reviews got rolling...same with this case...Some people, a lot might add, thought it would be another mediocre comic book game and sales doesn't have anything to do with the conception of sleeper hits, at least here in SW

I like all the solid support the Wii is getting this year... Not too much that is really high budget, but there are still a lot of high quality (exclusive) titles out there this year for Wii.

No not really. You may be thinking of fanboys saying that DS was going to be that bad. DS gets alot more hype than this game. TBH the only person I saw that really hyped this was ArcticEdge.

Relatively cheap, I wish they could sell it on PSN it looks interesting the little white creature caught my attention, he can be used for basically everything.

That's a good deal. I might just get this game before the year is over since it's only $40.

Picked it up today and it's stellar. Great ambient music that really blew me away. It's also very touching and heartwarming.

I have been let down by so many comic book games. I can agree with this. I had expected the game to flop much like the new Marvel game did.

There's no multiplayer, unless you count it as co-op with your blob.
