Were it not for Amazon and their wonderful emails suggesting new things for me to buy based on my prior purchases I would not have even known this game existed. A rudimentary Google search led me to Gametrailers where I watched some footage and was a little conflicted.
As I see it, the good is that it *appears* to be a decently constructed platformer with a unique character and some intriguing play mechanics. The bad is that the graphics look washed out and bland (N64 rework for Wii mayhaps?), it's probably too short to warrant purchase, and it's being released by Metro 3D - a fact which doesn't embolden me to buy it.
There's also a PS2 version, so is the Wii version a port rather than a previously developed, re-worked N64 title? It also looks like the game has been released in Europe already. Is it fun? If so I can overlook the crappy graphics, but if not, I guess I'll forget about it and watch it fetch $70 on eBay 5 years from now.
