BLAAAAAH. It frustrates me to the point of /grump that a game so heavily reliant on it's stealth element would have such a DIRTY TERRIBLE stealth element. XD

It's more about you following the game's pattern than you being stealthy. NPC's will randomly see you even if you're in complete darkness (like, totally green on your LED light sensor) crouched down and walking at a dentist-bound child's rate. It was actually easier to slay 30 heavily armed and armored enemies than sneak past them (after about 30 attempts...I just got fed up). Now I'm at another sneaking portion and really would like to not kill anyone, but I'm repeatedly failing...

You see, the amount of humans you kill determines your ending...perhaps. I've been unable to find an agreeing account of how exactly to get the good ending. Which frustrates me...But I can deal with it.

The game is still extremely fun, mind you. It's just annoying to be almost forced to kill people when I'd rather not.

On the positive side, I've learned that I'm wickedly accurate with the revolver. I got the 'Cowboy' achievement earlier. XD

This is, I suppose, my first "real" Wii game... or at least, what I'd consider that. I do have New Super Mario Bros., and I love it, but this is what I'm after in a game generally speaking, and Skyward Sword doesn't disappoint. It's like some weird combination of a brilliant Nintendo game and a Studio Ghibli production. The gameplay is note perfect, and honestly reminds me of Wind Waker more than anything else (which is good, because that's my favorite Zelda game).

Loving it. Still getting used to the motion controls.

Puzzle 18 is kicking my rumpus a bit. I figured out how to beat it but then had intense intestinal cramps, and had to visit a friend. Such is life.

The game is more fun than I remember though.

Hooked the magic Box up to my parents HD TV. I'm impressed, though uncertain I have the setting right. Working on the Advance puzzle thingum stuff that you unlock upon beating the game.

finished the first act on Insane with 2 other guys in co-op. It's not bad with multiple people, I'm sure solo would be super frustrating though.

I played that last too. My goal is to get all the achievements from Anniversary. Probably won't happen but I'm trying.
