PS. If you ask me, it seem to be like Skyward Sword. In words of some reviewers, Skyward Sword was "an epic adventure ruined by awful controls", or at least, controls that are unconventional.

Fixed.

 

I didn't mean so. It was more like a reference. I played SS and I liked the game a lot. Sometimes I felt frustrated, but the motion controls were fantastic.

 

I'll also give you a LIKE for being the first post. Thank you for posting.

Tedious, pfft. I've played Dissidia 012's 15 fields for over 200 hours.

 

This game is looking to be great! Also, post on my weapons poll if you haven't yet, please!

Lookin' pretty good for the most part. I need to hurry and finish Tales of the Abyss so I won't be distracted on Friday (yay for release date shipping!).

 

Also, Destructoid gave Mario Kart 7 a 5/10 also, and that game was great. I wouldn't trust their score that much.
