    I have to agree with many of the other reviews, it can be quite tedious. But it is something that i like to come back to, play 2 days straight, and then put back on the shelf for a month. Graphics aren't that great, and sound is choppy, but it has a good story line and you can get the hang of scavenging and foraging constantly, and if you stick it out long enough, i gets easier.

Not for someone who likes the short, all-in-one-day completions. Has a lot of (somewhat annoying) realism, and meters can be a pain, but it's fun. Expand

    In all honesty, I can't stand this game. The graphics are definitely not something special, it's tedious, and difficult. It wouldn't be as terrible, if you didn't have a partner to take care of, along with yourself. It's literally as if she can't do anything for herself (and yet you find her chillin' with her own shelter). And if that's not enough, your Hunger, Thirst, and Stamina metersIn all honesty, I can't stand this game. The graphics are definitely not something special, it's tedious, and difficult. It wouldn't be as terrible, if you didn't have a partner to take care of, along with yourself. It's literally as if she can't do anything for herself (and yet you find her chillin' with her own shelter). And if that's not enough, your Hunger, Thirst, and Stamina meters drop WAY too quickly. Which obviously makes exploring nearly impossible without rushing back to camp for rest, or to help Lucy to remember how to breathe if you've left her alone. Probably better to take her with you. Also, it's really hard to find certain required supplies. Like, you have to travel 2 miles out of your way for a piece of wood. Which obviously decreases your stamina, hunger and thirst. Characters get really whiny and annoying if they haven't eaten for 5 minutes, and get sick far too easily. The last thing you want to do is get lost, as that's the quickest way to death, especially if you've left Lucy back at camp. Even if you've hunted and eaten boar meat, it only fills a third of your hunger meter. And if you're low on stamina, and can't sleep, you're forced to sit and rest that way. The only thing wrong with that is, your meters drop faster, because you're sitting down. -.- So it's really not worth the tiny bit of stamina it replenishes. Bottom line, definitely not worth a buy. If you don't wanna bother reading my excruciatingly long rant, just rent the game and see for yourself. You're definitely better off with one of the DS versions. Expand

    I could bash the game for having less than stellar graphics, repetitive sound or even the lack of plot, but I was just looking for a fun game that ended up feeling more like a task, than anything.

    All the extra content and intriguing exploration aspects are rendered null and void by the fact that you'll spend the majority of your time babysitting health bars, though. The developers at Hudson nailed the survival aspect a little too well -- now they just need to work on making it fun.
  3. Exploration is as good as ever, and the Wii Remote mini-games, from cooking to building to foraging for food, are solid. But the problem with the health gauges really detracts from the experience, and it’s getting more and more difficult to overlook that problem as we see it in game after game.
