What players say
An okay adventure-platformer -- on seemingly the Wii. Atrocious PC controls make this basically unplayable. If you stick with it you'll eventually manage, but be sure to use a well-tracking and preferably fast, wired mouse. The constant droning Chinese restaurant muzak didn't help appreciation either. If anyone gets as stuck on the final bossfight as I was: it's spacebar while on the shard to grab on to it...
