  • Summary: Players soak in the action in SPRay by playing a spirited Prince named Ray who must save his village from a banished evil Queen who’s returned to capture and enslave the villagers. After donning a magic crown which summons two liquid spraying spirits, he sets out to defeat the evil Queen andnd her army of anti-matter soldiers. Skillfully use the "angelic" and "wicked" spirits to spray water, oil, goo, and other liquids on enemies and surfaces to solve puzzles and wipe out evil! Perform gravity-defying moves as you spray, stick, and slide your way through challenging puzzles. Creatively fight enemies by blasting various liquids on them and finishing them with a flurry of sword slashes. Use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to take hold of Ray’s angelic and wicked spirits. Get together with friends to play crazy multiplayer games like "Paint It!" and "Sticky Chewing Gum." [Tecmo] Expand

  1. But while the overall concept is imaginative, Spray's action and story aren't nearly so, leaving us with a game that's a little difficult to digest.
  2. SPRay tries to be a cross between The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Sunshine, but it fails on a grand scale. It's 15 hours of pain with few redeeming qualities, and the elements it tries to lean so heavily on are where it's most deficient. Avoid the struggle altogether and invest the cash in a new garden hose.
  3. Almost everything about SPRay lacks inspiration.
  4. Spray comes off as a pretty big disappointment, since I'm generally a big fan of platformers. The mechanic of using different liquids to overcome obstacles and puzzles isn't necessarily a bad one, but it doesn't feel all that fresh considering what Super Mario Sunshine had done previously (and awhile ago).
