 Annoyances get in the way of the fun November 17, 2008

When did game makers forget that games are meant to be played, not watched? They came up with every possible thing they could in this game to get in the way of the action, from pointless cut scenes that you have to re-watch every time you do an action (like watching him eat each dish you cook and then comment on how it tasted and then feed the monkey AFTER EVERY DISH) to menus that make you push three different buttons just to eat a berry.
Unlike previous Lost in Blue titles (all of which I liked) this game doesn't balance mini games with exploration. They added many more mini games, most of which aren't necessary and all of which are timed, and cut way back on the new frontiers. Given the unresponsiveness of the wii remotes, this becomes frustrating very fast. You can't just pick up vines anymore, you have to play an extremely fiddly game where you try to pull them down. You don't get to decide for yourself when to move on to the next thing- the game decides for you and you have to mark time until it does.
The voice-overs don't add much. They only add voice to about one word in each sentence, leaving you wondering what happened to your hearing while you watch the characters mutely flap their gums for a few minutes. There's no way to speed up the dialog, so you have to wait it out.
While we're on sound issues, This game uses the speaker on the wii remote a lot and there's no way to mute it or lower the volume. I taped a wad of tissues over the speaker and it was still too loud.
I have never liked mini games, but I put up with them for the previous Lost in Blue titles because adventure games are few and hard to come by. But this game is where I draw the line; I can't get to the fun with the remote screaming in my ear and refusing to do what I tell it to do on some pointless mini game so I can cool my heels while I watch yet another cut scene where the character tells me what he thinks of the job I did. Can we go back to the exploring already?
 better than harvest moon? November 9, 2008

I'm not to into Harvest Moon because you basically plant crops, waite till they grow and water them every day, then pick the product from the ground and sell it, then do it all over again! This game is for not only harvest moon lovers, but those that want to get into survival and discovery. LostinBlue is a very fun game because your always moving forward and there's not to much of the dull constant repatition like that of harvest moon.
I'm not bashing harvest moon, cause i like the game, but this one takes a different side than that of games similar to harvest moon, that allot of people would enjoy.
