Isn't that like calling all first person shooters the same game? Run, point gun at enemy, pull trigger, repeat.

Five variations on racket based games doesn't sound too bad. And Motion Plus use is a good thing.

For $12 I pulled the trigger. I still have Okami I haven't played yet that I picked up for cheap, too.

Also, you can select your language. I believe the US game supports English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. So multiply 22,000+ by four. I haven't tried other languages while playing in English, yet.

I picked it up today. Played through the first "town". I think it'll be a great game to play with kids 6-10ish. Young enough that their spelling and reading isn't so hot, but old enough that they can THINK. My daughter is almost 6 and I suspect in a few months she'll be mature enough to play it with me. I'm sure most of her solutions will involve princesses and puppies.

I agree that the controls can be wonky. But as a lefty I appreciate that the letter buttons can be used to control the camera.

FWIW, elephant > shark. Something you might want to know.

There are definitely patterns developing already. Need something to fly with. Need something to go underwater with. Need something to melt ice with.

It is a very fun "toy". Not sure how much staying power it'll have. Will it still be fun to equip vampires with machine guns and pit them against baseball bat wielding nuns in a month?

Schrödinger's Cat

If you order through Amazon, you get a $5 credit for mp3s they sell, and a $10 coupon for a future game purchase. Two games for the price of one and $15 of other enticements. That seems a pretty good deal to me.

Saint Martin. Honeymoon. Nude beach. Nuff said.

(Really, what's the point of these comment contests? To see how many people will comment? Is joystiq using these results to somehow calculate how many people read their blog and set advertising rates?)

I'll take one.

Me want.

I'm looking forward to getting the disc only version and playing with my GHWT and GHIII guitars and mic. (A friend of mine has the drum kit from the GHWT package we split; he already had 2 GHIII guitars and a mic from some other game.)

I'm going to wait and see how the DLC _really_ shakes out, though. I'm still mad about not getting track packs on GHWT. I'm not sure who to be mad at, though: Activision, Nintendo, or the copyright holders. Hopefully, that situation will get fixed soon.
