I dismissed this as some crappy kids game or shovelware for the wii but IGN is raving about this game. Apparently the puzzles are very challenging and make good use of the wiimote. Is anyone looking forward to this?

The title sounds like it is based on a Disney channel show. I know nothing beyond that.

I know that GoNintendo and a couple other sites have been really anxious for it to arrive, but I don't know much about the game, myself. I'll definitely try to rent it or something when it hits.

Assuming IGN isn't alone in their praise, I'll be getting this.*


*insert snarky comment about how I don't own a Wii yet.

By all accounts, this is that diamond in the rough people have bemoaning about the Wii in regards to 3rd party, non-MetMarZel games.

Looks fun as hell, too!

I plan on picking it up this week. I've been hearing fairly good things about it for a while and am glad it's finally here so I can check it out.

Definitely interested in hearing your impressions of the game.

I've also been hearing good previews from an awful lot of places, not just IGN.
Length is my main concern.

Picked this up at Best buy today. After the initial training puzzles, the difficulty ramps up and the game gets quite good.

My local game store didn't have it, the bastards. I'll try Best Buy, though they're usually the last to get anything video game related.

It's a very good puzzle game. You have a stage with pieces on it and you have to solve it. The change is that the pieces can be morphed into items and back again to allow for various combinations. The Wiimote is used fairly well in controlling and moving the pieces around the stage.

There's a rating sytem after you are done with the stage which tells you how well you did in solving it. I have a second game saved which i use as my clean game.

Some stages are easy but other take a bit to figure out how to do and you can get to a point where it's impossible to complete because of a move you made ealier. You have to restart the stage.

It's a fun game, but can be frustrating if you get stuck on a puzzle. There is a hint system but it costs money, which increases in cost the more you use it.

I've made it through the third boss but haven't ecplored the next stage.
