[quote name='oni-link']Definitely one of the better games for the Wii this year and one of the most overlooked along with Dead Space: Extraction, The Conduit, Muramasa, Boy and his Blob, Rune Factory: Frontier, Spyborgs, Madworld etc. The graphics are nothing stellar but it more than makes up for it with atmosphere, storyline and unique gameplay![/QUOTE]
Overlooked doesn't even begin to describe it... it's why I was absolutely floored to find out they even bothered to produce a LE.
It was a one-two punch of bad marketing, unfortunately... first, the game had zero marketing or hype before it came out. I remember seeing one preview in a game mag, being intrigued, and then promptly forgot about it until months and month later when I saw a thread here where it dropped in price. I'm still not even sure exactly how long it's been out. Two, that god-awful box art. Honestly, if you saw that in a store, would you pick it up? Really? It looks like a low-budget kid's book cover from the 1990s. Not the best way to sell a game, I have to say. The LE cover definitely should've been the standard.
This game had the odds stacked WAY against, and that's a shame. It's fairly telling that I, literally the perfect target audience for it, didn't know about it or care until it hit $20. I'm hoping that, like me, the price drops actually get people to give it a chance... it certainly deserves one.
