Hmm...

When playing this game, I remembered one of the really old games that Nintendo unleashed that was similarly difficult the further along you got. Banjo-Kazooie. In terms of entertainment, this is no B-K but it takes with it the deceptive color and rapidly growing difficulty. I'm not joking when I say that this game is one of the reasons that gamers should be thankful for sites like Gamefly--without it, many people would be holding this piece of garbage with shame and defeat.
At the start of this game, you're greeted with the usual hook-animation of happy-go-lucky characters suddenly getting slammed by the enemy and their [side]heroes almost immediately being captured only to be saved by the titular hero.
Do not let this game fool you, it's not as fun as it looks.
From the start, you're given repetitive missions, troublesome controls, and a generic sub par interaction with your environment and characters. Don't get me wrong, the concept has potential and I had fun at the beginning but after a while it all winds down into a sloppy adventure that tries to keep things interesting by making the missions unnecessarily harder considering the type of control scheme that they give you [waggling the remote to jump, nunchuk to move, B-button to target].
Honestly, the only thing about this game that had any more to offer than it's tired storyline was the free coloring missions where it doesn't have a timer to put pressure on you. If you're looking to waste hours of your life on this, go ahead but if you're planning to buy it then I'd have to say you should respectively pass on it.
