The designers of this game were obviously big Zelda fans - the gameplay is almost identical to that of your typical Zelda game. That being said, this game kicks ancient Japanese ass! I'm playing the Wii version and I estimate that after tonight's session I'm probably close to halfway through (at least I think).
The art style is simply amazing. I've fully bought into the "ink drawings come to life" M.O. of the game as well - the artists scored a freaking bullseye in pulling that off. Amaterasu and Issun are great characters as well, and I can't wait to go head to head (literally) with the great evil dragon Orochi. I'm in the Moon Cave now, looking for the 4 ingredients for the Imp chef to prepare Orochi's appetizer. Hope he's hungry because I'm going to feed him my Wiimote/brush! Yes I'm a nerd.
