9.0 Presentation
From the lovely intro movie to the instructions, maps and smaller details, every element comes together nicely. Functional and beautiful.
8.5 Graphics
Excellent artistic direction combined with clever use of the Wii's modest graphical prowess. The environment lacks technical details, but the clever design work makes up for this.
8.5 Sound
Stirring score featuring some new arrangements of classical music your grandparents probably have on dusty vinyls somewhere. The warbling voices are pretty well done too.
9.0 Gameplay
The Little King tries his hand at a lot of different things, but the core gameplay - adventuring and conquest - remain completely enjoyable, balanced and entertaining.
9.5 Lasting Appeal
Very possibly the Wii's longest adventure - and certainly one of the most varied. So many side-quests, hidden areas, collectables, characters, classes and things to do. A boon for RPG fans, so buy it.
