WiiWare: Lost Winds May 16, 2008
Posted by xerocube in : Arcade, Review, Wii , add a commentLet me start by saying I have not tried Lost Winds yet. I had little intention on trying it either. That is, until I read this writeup on Gamasutra.com. From there, I linked across to MetaCritic to see what they had compiled (an impressive 84 out of 100).
My initial impressions of WiiWare was that it was attempting to cash in on the success of the Xbox Live Arcade and the Playstation Network games. In conjunction with my general apathetic view towards most Wii titles, I figured I could just pass this one up.
However, the opening line of Gamasutra’s write-up has changed my mind.
…a $10 WiiWare launch title from UK developer Frontier (Thrillville) that critics describe as “better than a lot of $49.99 Wii games.”
I encourage you to jump over and read the rest of the article. This could be the start of a very good thing for the Wii.
