$*$ Shiren The Wanderer



I'm a huge fan of Shiren on DS and was delighted to discover the game was coming to the Wii. From what I played, all the magic that made the DS game great made it to the new version, but it was crippled by a number of poor implementation decisions.



First, the camera is zoomed too far in. You can only see 3 tiles in any direction. On the DS, this felt acceptable because of the size of the sprites, but on a larger television it feels silly. The game is about making the correct response to your surroundings, and when you can see so little of your surroundings, it makes the game feel frustratingly difficult.



Second, the minimap is drawn over the game world. In the DS version it was nicely placed on the other screen, but in the Wii version you spend all your time looking at the giant map rather than paying attention to what's going on in the screen. To make matters worse, the map becomes more transparent near the center of the screen where your character always sits. Makes sense, except when you're moved on the map to the center of the screen it is confusing because you no longer appear on the minimap.



I really wanted to like this game was disappointed in how the implementation got in the way of some great game design.
