Can't believe this game got a 9/10. It's not even deserving of a 5. Watered down platforming and RPG elements which combined to make a really lackluster experience, boring and way too easy. I really am starting to think most games, except CDI as an extreme example, if it has Mario or Zelda slapped on the title then it deserves a high score.
Good review. I still have been buying these and loving these games. You bring up good points, but still I am loving these games and anyone who wants to play these games cheap these are still good alternatives. If you really want the best quality track down the originals, but I am content.
@ Shinigami. Even before Sean reviewed this I have been hearing from multiple people that the game is horrendous. Good god, I was even considering this too. Sean I hope your sanity is still intact. Is that a few white hairs I see? Thank you for steering me clear of this game.
Wow I just got Tomena Sanner. This game is freakin amazing. I would have paid much more for this. You guys need to check this out. One of the best Wiiware games I've downloaded.
The battle system is indeed quite confusing at first. I'm not one who is big on tutorials, but they give you absolutely no tips or anything in that regard in the beginning of the game
Great review Corbie and I am enjoying this game a lot right now. The music is amazing and I agree wholeheartedly on the 3D visuals, but it doesn't take away from the game too much. Glad the review turned out well. Give this game a chance people.
New to the series. I enjoy this and I'm not going to fork out a ton of money to track down the ones on DS just for upgraded visuals. I never can find these in used games stores. That said good review. Not going to get heated over someones opinion. All I can say is people fuming over this is quite silly. I swear people are acting like this is the demise of their beloved series. Some say it deserves such and such score at the very least. I don't agree no matter what the game is. People are entitled to their own opinions and shouldn't be influenced just because the masses think a certain way. And also those that base their decision to buy a game based solely off of one review? That is also ridiculous. Do your research, get other opinions on the game and watch some videos.
@ the people thinking this sums up Harvest moon games is entirely wrong. This is a sad edition to the Harvest Moon games. Honestly they just made a minigame collection and slapped the Harvest Moon title on it.
i remember someone would be clear on the other side of the track and i always made a point to shoot off all my missles before crossing the finish line and it was always great when one of my shots actually killed somebody. lol
Yes this game kicks so much ass! Thank you for reviewing this and this is a surprise. I would give it a 9 personally but you guys still gave this game justice. A true classic and we may never see it on VC because of some of the music tracks, but this is an awesome game
This game is so underrated. I love the covert aspect of this game. Hiding behind stuff and finding the perfect position in order to blast your enemies away. I think it beat the norm where you just run out, guns ablazing.
I'm shocked. Many of us joked about this game before it was even out. I thought there was no way this would get more than a 2. You fooled me again corbs.
This also reminds me of the Wii breakfast video on Youtube if anyone remembers. Plus the cross remotes look like fake plastic and those kneeling boards look pretty crudely put together.
I guess American football should be canceled worldwide too. There is tons of the p word happening and commentators mention it all the time. How offensive. I will now never be the same.
Man and I thought for once I was going to download all 3 Wiiware games for the week. Thanks for the review chicken. I will hang onto these points now for dear life.

Re: Review: Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville (WiiWare)
Glad this game didnt get bashed. It is pretty decent. And I agree about a 6 or a 7. The zoom feature is what makes this great for me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd August 2010 (North America)

Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (WiiWare)
So if someone doesn't care for Phoenix Wright then they aren't true Nintendo fans? Right.

Re: Mahjong Coming To WiiWare On Friday
Also that video was a bit weak. You could barely see the gameplay. Why did they have it tilted to the side like that?
Re: Mahjong Coming To WiiWare On Friday
We could only dream JR. I pray that sexy mahjong be released for christmas

Re: Review: Super Mario Kart (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
I agree with the score. My favorite in the series. The rubber band AI and cheap items in the newer games kill it. Long live the original.
Re: Harvest Moon: My Little Shop
Knuckles if you get this can you post early impressions?
Re: Nintendo Download: Karts, Blobs, Bits, Shops, Tournaments, PooYoos, Castles, Notebooks and More Plankton (US)

Re: Super Mario Kart Hits Virtual Console on Monday
This is such... omg great news.
Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
This also reminds me of the Wii breakfast video on Youtube if anyone remembers. Plus the cross remotes look like fake plastic and those kneeling boards look pretty crudely put together.
Re: We Pray - Coming To A Console Near You?
Lol ok I do believe in God, but not even I believe this video. Hilarious though
Re: Rabbids Go Home Recalled Due to Offensive Language?
I guess American football should be canceled worldwide too. There is tons of the p word happening and commentators mention it all the time. How offensive. I will now never be the same.

Re: Club Nintendo Japan Adds WiiWare Game Ultrahand
Looks interesting and I would play it if it was fairly cheap. Now are points in Japan the same as Nintendo coins in NA? This has me a bit confused.
