this belongs on the top ten list of most gimmicky should-be-good-but-aren't games
***if it sucks
Well, there was a shield function shown if that counts for something different. That and like many commercials by game companies, they tend to show the flashiest parts rather then the game play parts. I'm sure everyone remembers how FFVII was advertised using only the cut scenes.
Actually it reminds me of the shining series, (my fave being Shining of the Holy Ark on the Saturn).
That was first person view, but they pulled it off well. so I am expecting the same kind of experience with better graphics (then the saturn) and motion controls.
I hope they dont mess it up.
no pic shown, but this mechanic is just like the game that they made for the super Nintendo with the dragon Quest name that used a tiny sword to sense your swings. Isn't this just a Wii remake of that?
I can't imagine this game could be that bad, if you haven't go check out the "Dragon Quest Kenshin" TV game, it was like those old TV tennis games (pre-Wii) and it has pretty decent swing detection and shield blocking with the sword turned sideways.

Honestly the difficultly of the game was pretty medium at best, only the last boss (The Dragon Lord) was actually hard, but maybe that was partially because I had to learn the game through failure since I couldn't read Japanese. I did really have fun with it though, by no means "for babies".
I think it looks great... but I'm a sucker for DQ*
It is soooo gimmiky
DO NOT WANT
From what I've heard from other bloggers who've played it like Chris Kohler, it's surprisingly good, even though it should be gimmicky. There's supposedly some other actions to do, like magic and stuff. I guess not rushing it (and Crystal Chronicles) for the Wii's launch was a good move.
This is definitely a wait and see for me, although I badly want to like it.
Reminds *me* of SNK Crossed Swords. With modern dynamics, and Wii controls, it could actually be a fun title.
I just finished DQ8, and this looks like it will be at least as awesome as that.
But, yet, people are still going to bash it, apparently. You know, because it's on the Wii and all. *eyeroll*
