Topic: Pandora's Tower

you can hold C as well to pull the chain. and yes, dodging is an essential move.

i really like the voice acting, and the graphics aren't bad, just the blurry textures.

This game is on my shopping list for sure. Nice to hear what you guys think about it.

@vonseux,

I made it sound a bit silly, but what I meant was that I couldn't do much with the chain. So I assumed that things like swinging your foes around or throwing enemies came later. The thing is, nothing gets explained. The tutorials are all to be found in the menu. Now I know how to throw enemies and how to swing enemies around. Though I still have get to grips with the controls. Swinging would have been more fun with the wiimote though. I play with the wiimote and nunchuck by the way!

As for the voice-acting: While some people complain about it, I think it isn't that bad. Especially the voice of Mavda is good!

"During the first master, I was having trouble increasing the tension of the chain"

You mean shooting your chain once, and then drain the enemy? Like they show on youtube? I couldn't do it either. So I did shoot and tear, shoot and tear, etc untill the boss was defeated. I know, that's not the way it should be done!

"I think what makes good gameplay is being able to do things different ways"

I agree. Though the way I did beat the first boss was a little bit lame. Now I know how I have to do it: Shoot the chain, then press and hold c. That way you can damage the boss as long as the chain is connected to the target. And when the meter is full you can tear to inflict massive damage (I sound like the "enemy crab guy" now, If you know what I mean!).

"the 5x combos are pretty effetive!"

I haven't tried that out yet. By the way: The way Xenoblade chronicles and The last story handle tutorials (there they appear on screen automatically when there is something new to teach) isn't annoying at all.

So far I have finished the first 3 towers, and it's a pretty fun game! The third boss already was quite challenging to me!

As the reviewers said the game sometimes gives you very cumbersome views. And because of this I sometimes can't hit the target with my chain. This happened for example when I wanted to beat the lance-wielding enemy in the third tower. But a fun game nonetheless!!

I've just completed the eighth tower of the game,and actually it's really rather good.
A bit samey at times,but still good.
I'd give it a 8.5,so far.

Is the final tower any good?

I haven't touched it since the eight Tower.
But I will play it in the holidays.

I just got the best ending and settled for that.
I was about to go for the locked rooms, but I've got a lot of other vidya to play.

Cause it's the Summer hols now,I'm going to finally complete this.
I just hope it doesn't get too hard,near the end.

Dont worry, it doesn't. Not even for casuals.

Look what i just found!

That poster is brilliant,where'd you get it from.
Game,no doubt.

No, i live in the Netherlands. I've got several of these posters from a local gameshop

Can I just say how amused I am at what the current 3 threads on the top of this board are?

Liking this game more and more was worried it'd be too much of a hack and slash kind of game; but the Zelda'esque puzzles really help make it more enjoyable not to mention the boss battles; at first it felt more like a 6/10 kinda game for me but might be nearer to 8/10 now at about the half way point.

Awesome poster!

This game was a real experience, some frustrating gameplay at times, but it felt new and the challenge was real. Also some of the best bosses i've ever fought in any game. Such a gritty, rewarding game to finish.

I wholeheartedly agree.
One of the Wii's finest gems.

Was surprised how much I liked this game according to the nintendo channel it took me about 30 hours to beat, and that wasn't even with the best ending great game all round really glad I gave it a chance.
