Anyway...Just finished it. Awesome game. Definitely some of the most fun I've had on Wii, and I have some of the best Wii games yet. If I had to summarize my thoughts :
- Very nice visuals
- Great controls
- Awesome music
- Fun and very fast paced
- TMC is an awesome addition
- Challenge is definitely there
- I wasn't able to understand every subtilities of the story and writing, but from what I could grasp, I thought the plot and characters were really engaging.
- Anime cutscenes are surprisingly good quality
- Game isn't exactly
packed with missions and contents, but there seems to be more volume I thought there would be. I clocked around 3 to 4 hours of gameplay on my playthrough on Normal, and I haven't even unlocked every plane (70% right now) and part (29%), went through the harder difficulty levels (I believe you can unlock another difficulty level if you finish the story mode on Hard), or tried to improve my ratings. Hell, navigating through the menus, I just found out about some kind of medals/achievement system, where I could see that I unlocked a grand total of 1 medal for finishing the game
). The Cinematic/Music/Replays viewers are also a nice addition.
Overall, I'm just really happy with my purchase, and I certainly hope Namco brings it over here so everyone can get a chance to play it
