After donning a magic crown which summons two liquid spraying spirits, he sets out to defeat the evil Queen and her army of anti-matter soldiers. Skillfully use the "angelic" and "wicked" spirits to spray water, oil, goo, and other liquids on enemies and surfaces to solve puzzles and wipe out evil! Perform gravity-defying moves as you spray, stick, and slide your way through challenging puzzles. Creatively fight enemies by blasting various liquids on them and finishing them with a flurry of sword slashes. Use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to take hold of Ray’s angelic and wicked spirits. Get together with friends to play crazy multiplayer games like "Paint It!" and "Sticky Chewing Gum." [Tecmo]… Expand

    But while the overall concept is imaginative, Spray's action and story aren't nearly so, leaving us with a game that's a little difficult to digest.

    It's impossible to recommend as a purchase due to a handful of flaws that have a major, negative impact on the gameplay. At On the same token, it's bursting with great platforming ideas that rival gaming's top franchises. If you're curious, we suggest a rental, but beware of inevitable frustration.

    A game with the same mechanics but vastly improved controls, combat, and level design could be really enjoyable. SPRay, while attempting to do this, falls flat on its face in the process.

    SPRay had potential, but it's just another bad third party Wii game.

    Only through sheer force of will have I avoided comparing the enjoyment derived from playing SPRay to that of regurgitating a lung. [Dec 2008, p.93]

    With all its problems, SPRay is a pretty terrible game. The basics of the gameplay are promising, but it never becomes anything of substance. While the camera control is far and away the game's worst problem, it also suffers from lackluster puzzles, bland combat, and an awful overworld.

    At a glance, SPRay seems like a mediocre outing on a platform already overstuffed with useless titles. But shipping an outright broken game is inexcusable.
