I don't subscribe to the magazine, but NP's reviews seem to be getting more and more ridiculous. I guess the good news is that it will be releasing soon.
I've never cared for their downloadable reviews. The whole Recommended, Hmm, Grumble Grumble system seems a little whack if you ask me. Other than that, though, I really love Nintendo Power.

Seriously though, it seems everytime you guys post a NP WiiWare review it's a "hmmm". That's like watching Siskel and Ebert and them saying, "It's ok".

This thread is completely inaccurate. The actual review says that it is frustratingly difficult, hence the "hmmm" rating. Otherwise they said it was a good game. I don't know what Dragoon was reading.
I've read it, and he does subtract points or give's it a "Hmmm" only because he said it was REALLY difficult, (Or at least for him it was lol) IDK, I wouldn't subtract points or lower my value of a game based on difficulty alone. A "Hmmm" basically means it depends on the player whether they will like it or not, so pretty much like most games then lol.
He said it was rated Hmm, too. Whatever that means. So clearly it isn't "completely inaccurate." I would imagine much of the difficulty comes from the fact that he walks on his own. Having complete control would make it easier. I haven't read it, but it doesn't take much to connect your statement and his.
EDIT: For some reason, it says I've quoted weirdadam, and I can't change it.
Alright, maybe not completely inaccurate, but it is a shallow statement, especially for the first post of a thread. The reviewer says something to the effect of the coordination and timing being extremely difficult, and the fact that once miss starts the level over is frustrating.
Just saying, "mostly due to the fact Commander Video walks by himself," is not really accurate, and comes off as bashing the review.
Of course the level takes like 1min. to go through so one miss=restart across 36 levels seems right to me...and yes, the game is hard - and people complain about our lack of half-points!

Don't worry about it, he's just weird.
