Am i the only one playing this?
I had a look around for a first play thread and was dissapointed.
Anyways,
This game is bloody superb, I picked it up at the weekend and its cured my wii single player, non mini-game drought! The graphics are pretty good, not GoW standard but still good enough to make you feel immersed in the game, which is whats its all about imo. The music is very mystic feeling and the audio is just about right with the sound effects from the guards, sword clashes etc.
The most important bit however is gameplay and this one does it so well, from what I hear this is a port of an older PoP game but its still superb. THe level design is immense and some bits really get you scratching your head. The mix of combat and puzzles is also pretty decent with the "speed kill" use of the wiimote making it feel very rewarding when you grab someones through from above with your chains and throttle them
The wiimote and nunchuck control the camera and princes movements and Ive got to admit it works really well. Swinging the nunchuck uses your secondary weapon and if your the dark prince it works your chains, which you can use to swing about the place.
Boss fights have to be seen to be believed, it reminded me a bit like the Cyclops battle in Dark Messiah, the way you have to chain your attacks together to succesfully beat them is a really nice touch imo.
Anyways, if you own a wii and have completed Zelda and are sick of the mini game madness and long for single player goodness. Get yourself out there and pick this up.
