Hmm...not convinced by the first person perspective. However, these guys did a great job using the remote on Helix, IMO, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

I read that this will use Wiimote in NES position. Like Punch Out.

I liked the idea on paper when I first read it, but then I watched the video and it looks like one of the most ass-ugly games I\'ve ever seen, never mind that the gameplay looks shallow and repetitive. I could be wrong about the latter part, but of the former, I\'m convinced. I\'ll most likely pass on this one.

For a WiiWare game (of which can\'t be bigger than 40mb), it looks pretty good. The art direction might not be the best but that\'s because there\'s not you can do with a gladiator theme to make it look good. (gladiators suck! Smilie

No, even for a WiiWare game it looks horrible. I cannot think of a single WiiWare title that looks as bad as this.

And yes, the art direction is horrid, and the painfully generic music isn\'t much better.

You should see Adventure Island (one of the ugliest games I have ever seen in recent times) or most of the family based games. Smilie
