Sixteen missions for under $10? That's more missions than a lot of disc games ... totally impressive! I can't wait for this release. Plus, it'll be released after Sky Crawlers, so we'll be beyond the "craze" from that game ... leaving us with an itch to play a new flight combat game. Looking great Legendo!
Started playing this game and am 1/3 of the way through. Have to say it's a great game, definitely worthy of a 9/10 rating. The story is deep, the extra materials are awesome, and the gameplay is very good as well. It's my first "on rails" shooter, so I'm getting used to it, but no complaints about gameplay at all. Definitely a great title and I hope EA brings more Dead Space titles to the Wii in the future.
A game like this needs to be released BEFORE you actually release a similar, BUT BETTER, version on a retail product. How freaking stupid are the people at UbiSoft to try to pull this off, and how freaking stupid are people (in particular, those who own Rabbids Go Home) who actually buy this title?
Adam, millions of card games? Really? And would those all those millions of games be playable alone? A deck of good playing cards is a couple of bucks. This game is a couple bucks more. Not really a deal breaker if you ask me, and who really carries a deck of cards in their pocket, in the off chance they'll play solitaire? Other than no one (never mind trying to find space to lay out a solitaire game in public). If you're playing solitaire, you're most likely at home ... the very same domicile that houses your Wii. Fancy that!
No scantily clad anime girls? Sheesh, guess this won't be on the Top 25 list as long as Sexy Poker was. However, this appears to be a quality game, and for 500 points, I'll strongly consider it. What would have made it even better is if you could have had your own pictures serve as a background, or have your own music play.
I'm going to buy a new PS2 before I buy a PS3. I've invested so much into my PS/PS2 collection I'd be a fool to let a last PS2 slip through my fingers, leaving me unable to play any of my games because Sony decided they'd like to reissue their entire PS/PS2 catalog through their PSN at some point.
Own, but have not opened, this title. Glad to see that it got a favorable review (though I would not have returned it had it not). Busy playing Anno 1701 and Civilization: Revolution on the NDS, so I won't crack this one open until I complete those.
I'll definitely be giving this title some love. I like me my WWII action games! Love the website promoting the game too! If the game has half the quality the lead up has shown, this will be an awesome WiiWare title!
For large movements, the Natal will work just fine. However it won't do pinpoint control, it won't sense you "pulling a trigger" for example ... so the Natal will not be the "be all, end all" of cool technology.
This game is a classic, and while it may not be the entire game, it still plays just like I remember it for the Colecovision. 4/10? I don't get it. I'd give it at least a 6/10, and a 7/10 seems much more fair and reasonable.
If I want to see sports in HD, I'll watch an actual game. I don't play video games to see virtual athletes look "sort of" realistic. Bah. Not a huge fan of these series. I typically buy them a couple years after the fact. When a video game released at $50+ can be had for $5 the following year, it's something I can wait for.
Sounds like an interesting game, and I definitely loves my strategy games. Multiplayer is icing on the cake. Depending upon the reviews, this could wind up pretty high on my "to buy" list.
Have this for the PS2 and it was a pleasure to play. A bit difficult at some stages, but overall I truly enjoyed playing it. Like you, I was extremely disappointed in not being given an emulation of the arcade original. It seemed like it would have been a perfect addition.
Looks like an interesting title. Consider me a potential buyer. I'm with Hobbes on this one with the B-button. Perhaps in an options menu you can give people the option to use the B-button OR the minus button for spell selection (and/or classic controller support)? Seems that using the minus button will really slow things down, especially if you have certain third-party skins on your Wiimote.
Anyways, hope you're considering a FPS down the line as well. If it's of the same quality as this game appears to be, it'd be welcomed!
Nice to see this is reminiscent of Monster Rancher. That is probably the title/series from PS2 I miss the most with the Wii.
ETA: Bought it and playing it. Love it! Especially like the ability to "field repair" your monster. Haven't gone online yet. Waiting to see how strong of a monster I can make first!

Re: Review: The Tower of Druaga (Arcade)
The PS2 sequel stunk as well. I won't be buying this game. Namco should be ashamed.
Re: Review: UNO (WiiWare)
I think a 6 out of 10 is being generous given what this game has going against it as evidenced by the review.
Re: Celebrate The Holidays With Cheaper Sega Virtual Console Titles
Altered Beast!
Re: Review: Eco Shooter: Plant 530 (WiiWare)
Yeah, it looks like an interesting title but the 1,000 point asking price will keep me from getting it.
Re: Dragon's Lair DSiWare Trailer Released
I had the 3DO version ... still do actually. It sucked.
Re: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
Loved Battle of the Planets growing up. Would love to play those guys!
Re: Diatomic Lands on US WiiWare Next Week
Looks an awful lot like EA's Spore: Origins for the iPod. A bit more fleshed out, but pretty similar regardless.

I'm staying far away from this one.

Re: Review: Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
A pity. It would be nice to have a good mahjong game for the Wii here in NA.

For Black Friday, this game is 60% off at GameStop.

Re: Review: Pokémon Rumble (WiiWare)
I'm with Sean. Monster Rancher for Nintendo would totally rock!
Re: The World Ends With You
Just got this game and I'm loving it!

Re: Rage of the Gladiator - Gargadan Trailer
LOL, I'm with Larkin. Less screenshots, more getting the game to the public.

Re: Miltary Madness
Ok ... when's it being released?
Re: Review: Samba De Amigo (Wii)
This game is even more hilarious if you purchase the maracas.

Re: Lego Indy 2: The Adventure Continues
What would be cool is if you could send the levels you can create to other people to play via Wii Connect.
