The game will immpress you from begining to end, to bad the end part comes too soon, even if the game is only $10. I have to say, the music is wonderful, I just love the direction that they took, it's very peaceful, and calming. The visuals are above 80% of full retail games, and gameplay ranks up with the top tier nintendo-made first party games. You play a small boy who wanders though a 2D playing field, but everything is 3D. You stumble upon the wind spirit who has been trapped inside a little stone, after he had........well I don't want to ruin the story, so I'll leave it at that. The game is amazing, from top to bottom, and could have easily gotten a 9.5 if the game were twice as long, but as it stands, it's just far to short. And I mean FAR to short, the game runs about 3 hours or so, if you don't try to collect the "hidden" stone things, of which there are 24 all together. If you try to collect all 24 of the stone things, the game will run you about 4 and a half hours. So if you think of it this way, it's about the same length of call of duty 4, of which is ruffly 5 times the price. So in the end, the game isn't as short as it seems. If $10 for 4 and a half hours of an AMAZINGLY well put together game sounds good to you, then go on and pick it up on wiiware. I promise you won't be sorry.
