I just got it, and it's a really fun game. I'm only 5 hours in, but there's so much to do, and building up your kingdom is fun. One of the best games this gen and the second best RPG (imo of course)

Anyone else from europe who's played it and agrees?

I wish I could get my hands on it, but sadly not until June. I predict 8.0 from GS.

We'll see - Its been getting higher reviews than I expected in many places - most of those were European sites/magazines, so we'll see how it compares to North American sites/magazines - though I personally don't care what it gets, I'm getting it anyway:)

I have it, I got it last week. It deserves 9.0+ but more than likely it's gonna get an 8.5 from GS. It's a really amazing game. The gameplay, graphics, music, lenght and depth to it is just unbelievable. If Tom McShea (or someone else who loved Pikmin) reviews it then it'll get 9.0+.

No doubt it's a good game. Reviews all over say that, and it looks great, but at Gamespot? AA at best.

Yeah I'm predicting an AA at gamespot, or maybe a 3.5 knowing them at times.

Oh I sure hope that it gets AAA, the Wii is in need of one of those about now. Plus I could used a new Wii game about now, my PS3 has been getting all the attention lately.

Easy to give scores without playing the game isn't it? Anyway, it will get 8.5 on GS, because it does not incorporate IR, I am telling you already...

Alot of games don't deserve it. Its just that gamers sometimes can't accept that an 8.0 is just fine.

I have the game, the first few hours was fun but then it became very repetitive and managing your 'units' is tedious due to the mediocre interface. Another thing i found really annoying is your units getting stuck in some places when traveling, getting everyone from point A to point B can be quite a challenge sometime... Id give it a 7-7.5, which doesn't mean it's a bad game but it has a lot of room for improvement.

Wow the sheep really get uppity when someone says they don't like this game.


Hi Grining_Demon!

No - when people write it off because its Kiddy - people get upset. Personally, I dont care if people are too afraid to touch a game that looks 'kiddy' - their loss, not mine.

Why? He can dislike a game for any reason he wants. The game having a more childish visual sty|e is a perfectly fine reason.

As good as 'brown shootan' or 'bald marine with space guns'.

I question the need to have such an art direction in the first place. Can't the character be full sized people who look normal? Why even go in this direction in the first place? I mean sure its cool to see such an innocent looking game include lots of insidious adult features but that can only be interesting for so long.

I like the art direction as is. It just has a certain charm to it that attracts me to it. Plus, they probably wanted it to appeal to a younger audience as well, though its strange how they're going to do so since its rated T here in NA.

You start off with a small wooden shack as a castle and can only recruit unemployed citizens to do work, then as you progress you can get more skilled people such as farmers, carpenters and guards. You can upgrade your castle (I've only got the oppurtunity to do it monce so far) and I'm not sure what a creature dwelling is.

its a very good game, but right now im not really seeing anything that makes it 9.0, probs 8.0 or 8.5 for me right now, but ive just beat the Onii King, so there's still plenty to do and plenty out there to change my mind

Well its kinda creepy to be luring in kids with the art work but having adults grinning in the background lol. Ya say Hell no...but it was certainly an option. The look of the game isn't exactly all that unique compared to most RPG's. Tiny little characters with big eyes. Okami and Mad World were far more unique. The art isn't "so godly" that we musn't even consider changing it. Its pretty basic if you ask me. Nothing special. About as boring as the FPS gray tones or shaved head heros trend. This isn't a slight against the game but for the "HELL NO" response I would rather be defending something that looked better. LKS is just basic RPG style.
