So I'd heard it was good, and seen screenshots and stuff, but wow. The graphics (read: art style) in this game are absolutely stunning, some of the best stuff the PS2 has ever seen for sure. Just unbelievable work. Does the Wii version look the same, or better? Either way it'd look great unless they really messed something up.
As for the gameplay I'm still quite early in teh game, but it seems like a fun enough Zelda clone. Not really innovative for the most part, though the brush system is interesting and kind of new, but fun. The slow text speed is really annoying though, it scrolls really slowly and really drags things out a lot longer than they should be... and you can't skip most of it. Bah. The fact that it has save points instead of save anywhere is also unfortunate. Still, I'll be playing this one a lot more for sure! The style and design are just so, so well done, and the game's at least competent, so far at least. Solid story too, with a strong classical Japanese feel of course.
