    This is the breakout, must-buy hit that WiiWare needed to justify its existence. LostWinds is a beautiful and unique exploration-based platformer that takes full and natural advantage of the Wii's control setup.
  2. LostWinds is a great example of what can be achieved on WiiWare. By combining a few simple gesture-based controls within a tightly focused platform-puzzling framework, Frontier has created a mini-masterpiece at the first attempt.
  3. I doubt it'll get much talk time for "hardcore" gamers. It is a fun game, and it is a steal at 1000 Wii points. If you're looking for a fun game that's easy to start playing and the family would enjoy you can't go wrong with this game.

    This Game has interesting controls and brings something new to 2d platformers. Mixing Kirbies Canvas Curse type scribbling with wind based puzzle elements, makes this a killer game. It is sort of short, almost 3 to 4 hours to complete, but considering that for 10$ price and unique like approach on the Wii, it's all worth it. Expand

    great game and the best of the WiiWare games thus far. great pacing, mellow gameplay and good controls that show the potential of WiiWare. some tend to look at these games and judge them as full retail releases which is a disservice to games like Lost Winds. It's a 10 dollar adventure game with great art direction and production value that uses motion control well and anyone can enjoy it. A bit short...yes, but it's a great way to debut the WiiWare service. Expand

    WiiWare is here and if LostWinds is a sign of things to come you can count me in. It is a side scrolling platformer at it's heart, with a unique controll scheme. The use of the wii remote and nunchuk are used to create a new vibe in an old genre, the nunchuk controls a young boy, the wii remote pointer is used to control a wind spirit. The duality of this system exceeds the some of it's parts as you explore the 3 to 4 hour adventure, leaving you wanting more and there will be more to this story. For the price of $10 or 1000 wii points, the entertainment value is very high. Developers should take note, players should pay to play as this is gifted game with a simple spirit, here's hoping it grows. Expand
