    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.

    Despite the unfortunate length of LostWinds, it is a remarkably good game, an adventure with broad appeal that takes a simple idea and brings it to elegant fruition.

    LostWinds is a gem that shouldn't get lost in the current glut of Wii titles.

    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

    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

    It's definitely worth the money, but it is pretty short, the puzzles aren't very hard, and the final boss is a joke. The place you fight the final boss makes it seem like they were going to make multiple stages of the boss fight in different spots, but they didn't. Maybe if you collect all of the collectable items then the final boss is different, I don't know as far as I can tell they were pointless.… Expand

    Muy buenos gráficos de un juego que entretiene pero en el que le falta algo de información -es muy fácil que sepas lo que tienes que hacer pero no sepas a donde ir-. Yo lo termine en 5 horas pero si sabes donde están las cosas se puede terminar en 3. Buena compra por su precio… Expand
