There's still a lot that can be done with the Wii, and while for the most part it's Nintendo themselves showing everyone else the ropes, Capcom have begun to utilise the system's unique strengths for their own brand of Wii gaming, and the outlook so far is pretty good. We've already seen how they handle action in the form of Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles and Resi 4: Wii Edition, but how about the puzzle genre? (And I'm not talking about games like Mario Party or Rayman: Raving Rabbids, either).

From our review:
"How Capcom have integrated the potential of the Wii Remote is really hats-off material. Here you have a game that doesn’t necessarily impose any immediate danger on you, it’s a game about thinking outside the box in more ways than one, and as a result it’s as refreshingly engaging as it is frustratingly challenging..."

A 7 seems a bit low... but anyhoo.

I thought this game was pretty epic, i have been playing this with the GF and we are both enjoying it immensely. I highly recommend.

i totally understand your point of view, its a great review and the score reflects it. its just i personally would have given it a little higher, only because i've been really enjoying it, especially with the really well implemented wiimote controls.

I was tempted to get this game solely because it was cel-shaded.

Speaking of SSBB, when the f*** is Nintendo going to announce the release date for Australia? I hope they don't lump us in with Europe.

I definitely rate this game highly. Reminded me very much of old Sierra Adventure Games in that whole problem-solving way.

It gets a little be too Asian-cutesey sometimes, and the Bonelich music whacking mode is almost impossible in some levels, but it's still all good fun.

(with replayability once you beat the game)
