LostWinds

Just a very quick post. I bought, downloaded and played an hour and a half of LostWinds on WiiWare. First of all let me just correct a mistake i made in my earlier post. Not all WiiWare games cost 500 points. Specifically, LostWinds costs 1000 points which is GBP7 or Euro8.79.

Believe me when i say that it is worth every point or euro cent. It’s supposed to be around 4 hours long. LostWinds is the first Wii game that has made me smile and have that warm feeling inside when playing (disclaimer: have failed to play Super Mario Galaxy). You move your character, Toku left and right using the nunchuk while he automatically jumps when running off the edge of a platform. All other actions are on the Wii’s motion sensing controller. Every motion is easily performed and recognised even while leisurely lying on your couch. I love the art and LOVE the chillout music (except in the presence of enemies) and the sound effects.

What can i say. A gem. A real gem.
