First blog since April 2007. Wow. Wiiware was just released here in Europe and after getting home from college I hastily bought myself 3,000 whopping points to bag me some LostWinds and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a King. I'm just about to give Crystal Chronicles a try but I thought I'd first give a quick opinion on LostWinds here after playing it for 2 hours.
It's quite a slow paced game, which for some people can be frustrating. It's definetly the kind of game you can dip in and out of easily until completion. It's definetly a very unique game and I can't really compare it to anything else. It has probably the most creative uses of the wii remote I've seen in just about any game on the System in my opinion, it just really wouldn't be the same game without the motion control. I really enjoyed learning new skills and experimenting with them and such is quite a treat. The only complaint I can think of is some of the platforming parts can be a bit of a bugger but it's really nothing to write home about.
All in all, I'd highly recommend LostWinds if the slow pacing doesn't bother you. It's certainly a good sign of things to come for Wiiware. Alright, I'm off to try Crystal Chronicles.
