where did you read that? the one person who gave it a 4.0?
yes the game isn't for everyone, it's more for style and I appreciate it more. I've never played a game for graphics, graphics don't keep you coming back for more, it's just an aesthetic you barely notice while playing and I could care less. I am more interested in gameplay and this game makes me want to play and keeps me coming back. I really enjoy the retro aspects. Don't really see how it is pixelated... anyways for the last time, the Wii isn't known for its fucking graphic capabilities :doh:
Combat gets harder as you go on and if you know what you're doing you can use different techniques and shit, so I don't see how its repetitive. Interaction with stuff, who the fuck cares that shit is pointless. Collision detection? when you hit a wall on your bike or hit/side swipe a car? That shit is fucking annoying if you fall off every single time you hit something. The overworld is not the point of the game... yes it gets a little buggy at times, but it's not like there is any action or anything exciting going on.
and you don't flick your wrist, you press A to swing. Angle the wii remote low to swing/block low, or angle it high to swing/block high.
