I picked it up last night and have gotten 4 hours in, tis pretty sweet. I've just collected the 4 blitties that I can without progressing, so I'll go back to progressing now...
Just think though, it could have gone like Space Harrier -- not only did I not read the review of the already-released Master System version, but I gave the arcade game a lower score! Hilarity ensued and the rest is history!
A second opinion was given so that was good, not reading the review helps since you won't have any compulsion to try to make it fit with the other review. The fact that the better game has a lower score is a bit of a shame, although IIRC you did review it, and list the features.
It was reviewed by a different reviewer, so a second opinion would be nice.
Rather than needlessly extending the review since, due to the relatively few differences, they could've been summed up more concisely, leaving room for a short review of his own. Quite frankly it'd be much better that way, and for one who knows little about Solomon's Key this review is nearly useless on it's own.
I would've said the Wii is a bumper car, I'd say the developers have a bigger impact on the system than most everything else, and the average developer treats the Wii like a bumper car.
@ missing_no You're seriously saying Super Easy Galaxy is harder than this? In this game deaths actually occur, Galaxy is easier than World, even when you can fly through a bunch of levels!
Galaxy isn't that gratifying either, because the difficulty is null, and it's so linear.
@E-160 Feraligatr Nope I just expect my games to be fun, this wasn't much fun. Looked nice, sounded nice enough, but the gameplay was unentertaining. But hey is you add my score for this, and my score for that horrid SMRPG game, it makes 10

Re: Carnival King Coming to WiiWare on Monday
Oh boy! I can hardly wait...
Re: Nintendo Download: 27-28 October 2009 (Japan)
Shadow Walker: Boy of Shadow, Fairy of Light looks pretty interesting, lets hope it comes around.
Sonic and Knuckles isn't very good, so we can do without it.
Re: Competitions: Spore Hero (Wii) Giveaway!
Last I checked there's more to NA than the states...
Re: Want More C.O.P.? Preorder at GameStop!
i dont like in game exclusives for preorders :/
That, except with proper grammar and such. It looks pretty good though, I may look into it if it ends up being pretty good.
Re: First Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth Screens Appear
Hopefully Crucifix Held Close, and Iron Blue Intention make it in.
Re: Heron: Steam Machine Available on WiiWare this Friday
And for 500 points, its basically a must unless you guys give it a bad review.
What is the meaning of this nonsense?
Re: Heron: Steam Machine Available on WiiWare this Friday
So we're getting another game that can be played for free on the internet...
Re: Nintendo Download: Pinballs, Fights and Gravity
Update saddens me
Re: Review: MechAssault: Phantom War (DS)
Kind of a random choice to be reviewed...
Re: Nostalgia - World Wide Adventure Trailer
Looks quiet good, hopefully it achieves it's potential.
But where's Canada!?
Re: Nintendo Download: LostWinds, Happy Holidays, Final Fight, Wonder Boy and Dragon Quest (EU)
Pretty nice update.
Re: It's Official: Nintendo is the Best
Well that's a shame, since the competition isn't doing a very good job, Nintendo can continue to suck, for the time being.
Re: Nintendo Download: Fantasies, Wars and Words (US)
The NES FF, and the Dawn of Souls FF and vastly different.
For instance in the NES one, everything doesn't sit around waiting to be killed.
I may pick it up sometime.
Re: System Update 4.2 Bricking Wiis Left, Right and Centre
I had to upgrade my wii to use the Wii shop
But its fine.
Re: Mario and Link to Warm Your Winter
Nintendo isn't coming near my Christmas, so it seems.
Re: WiiWare Needs More Exposure, Says Former XBLA Manager
This is Nintendo. Why should we use methods that make people happy and make us money, when we can do it without making gamers happy?
Re: Nintendo Download: Art, Beasts, Cars, Paddles and Wars (US)
Ah, nothing of interest this week
If I had a DSi...
Re: Monsters of Dragon Quest Wars
Okay.
More variety would be nice, although I don't really care as I'll not get it, and it's not a real DQ game.
Re: Review: You, Me, and the Cubes (WiiWare)
There were a few good taglines in the past little bit, this is most definitely not featuring one of them.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - October 2009
I want the original FE, I'd gladly trade it for the DS dud.
Re: Limited Edition Wii Sports Resort Bundle to Feature Two Wii MotionPlus Accessories
High fives for the "people that don't have it" group.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Confirmed For November Release
No thanks.
Re: EnjoyUp To Release Zombie BBQ on DSiWare in Europe
I want the original, just can't find it D:
Re: Review: Magnetis (WiiWare)
Oh look a clever tagline, that was unexpected. :thumbs up:
Re: No More Heroes 2 Gets A Control Shake-Up
I haven't played the first one, but I prefer playing with a regular control in nearly every situation.
Would of been nice if they were able to implement some WM+ though (even though have it, I do not)
Re: Nostalgia "In the Skies" Trailer Released
That's some impressive 3D :shock:
Re: Review: Art Academy: First Semester (DSiWare)
@killthehaters: Some people might find that offensive.
But those people could then be considered haters, and his username is pretty specific about what to do with those types
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks dated
Well that box-art ain't particularily flattering...
I'm expecting this to be another few steps away from the path of greatness.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
I picked it up last night and have gotten 4 hours in, tis pretty sweet.
I've just collected the 4 blitties that I can without progressing, so I'll go back to progressing now...
(although there are much better DS games)

Re: Castlevania Comes to WiiWare
what do they mean with "If players sustain too much damage, they keel over and emit a burst of red blood"?
...they die, and blood pops out.
Re: Castlevania Comes to WiiWare
Ooh Castlevania <3
Awesome! I'm currently loving Harmony of Dissonance so this is great news!
If you love HoD, you'll most likely love the other much better metroidvania's : D
Re: Tekkaman Blade Joins Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
Ooh Zero would be delicious
Re: Capcom Interested In Doing More Retro Games
If they can pull it off again? They didn't exactly do a good job this time, but I'm willing to give them another chance.
Re: Review: Pilotwings (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
These crappy rhetoric taglines are getting to be excessive D:
Re: Data East Arcade Classics Coming to Wii
I had Caveman Games, I think I liked it enough, but could never figure out how to make a fire D:
Re: First DSi-Only Retail Releases Hitting This Fall
Great news for me. Will we finally see Mega Man for the Nintendo DSi, among other games?
Facepalm, I doubt it, the DSi exclusive releases will likely be mostly games that can't be done on the older models.
Re: Wii Internet Channel Now Free!
Good stuff.
Re: First DSi-Only Retail Releases Hitting This Fall
Hopefully companies are hesitant to make DSi exclusives, and decide that the massive userbase of the older DS's is the way go.
Re: Shantae Sequel, For Serious This Time?
If it is Shantae, hopefully it isn't on only DSiWare
Re: Oscar in Toyland on DSiWare This Friday
Bah Oscar
We want Little Nemo.
Re: Nintendo Download: Pilotwings, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Pop Plus, Arkanoid and Bit.Trip (EU)
That is quite the good update.
Re: If the PS3 is an F1 Car, the Wii is a Go-Kart
I would've said the Wii is a bumper car, I'd say the developers have a bigger impact on the system than most everything else, and the average developer treats the Wii like a bumper car.
Re: Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Pilotwings Out in Europe This Friday
Cool Pilotwings...not that I've played either, but I did pick up the 64 one at a pawn shop yesterday, soon it'll get some love soon.
I also picked up Vandal Hearts which is awesome so far.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)
Yes the Color version is a bit better.
This doesn't feel like a continuation of ALttP though, this is fun to play. I prefer the Oracle games to this.
Re: Review: Phantasy Star (Virtual Console / Master System)
Hurry up to NA Phantasy Star! I'd like to begin my foray into the series.
Re: Dragon Quest IX: 3.5 Million Served
I can't wait, I'm currently playing through DQV, which will likely end up as one of my favourite games, by the end of it.
I just finished a nice solo, of another one of my favourites DWIII, tis great stuff.
