    I like this game, it's far from perfect but it is certainly unique and I'm glad to have experienced it. Controlling the game is fairly simple, just point the Wii Remote at a nearby enemy or structure, press the B button and the character flies towards it, press the A button to attack, it's that simple.

Controlling the game is fairly simple, just point the Wii Remote at a nearby enemy or structure, press the B button and the character flies towards it, press the A button to attack, it's that simple. The problem is, it's not always easy to see where you're going and the camera control is bad, you have to point at the edge of the screen to turn the camera but it's not as responsive as it should be and it tends to slow down the action considerably. I would have much rather used the Nunchuck to control the camera but this was not an option. The game can also be a bit repetitive, each level generally follows the same routine, you traverse several floating islands while attacking a limited variety of enemies but every level still managed to be fun. I also found the boss fights to be very engaging and entertaining.… Expand

    Even though it arrives a few years late, at least we have the opportunity to try this version of the game, which clearly is the "good one". Everything makes sense on Wii, and even though it feels a little bit outdated, it still is interesting and fun for those who know the game they're buying.

    Rodea the Sky Soldier proved it could soar on the Wii; it is just a shame that it will be doomed to obscurity.

    My advice? Buy Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii U, toss the Wii U disc into a nearby sewage canal, pop the Wii disc into your machine and let 'er spin! [Issue #18 – November/December 2015, p.73]
