LostWinds
Developer: Frontier Developments
Publisher: Frontier Developments
System: Wii (WiiWare)
One day on the isle of Mistralis, a young boy named Toku discovered a special stone. As it turned out, it was one of seven shards in which was trapped the essence of the wind spirit, Enril. The story of how Enril came unto this predicament shall not be told here. But what must be known is that the land of Mistralis is in grave danger. Balasar, the spirit of the sun and moon, has been gathering power to take over the island. It is up to Toku to find and restore all seven shards of Enril, as well as discover the identities of the other ten elemental spirits, so that Balasar's evil scheme shall not come to pass.
Frontier Developments' LostWinds, a launch title for the WiiWare platform, is a charming and engaging adventure game that cleverly utilizes the Wii Remote. The game is played from a side-scrolling perspective, and you take control of Enril's powers of the wind. By moving a cursor on screen, you can create drafts and gusts to manipulate the environment, attack enemies, or help Toku reach distant platforms. The Nunchuck is used for controlling Toku, himself.
As you explore the land, solve puzzles, and discover treasures, you'll gain extra wind powers. In turn, these powers will help you to access previously unreachable areas. It is also possible for a second player to join in with another Remote and assist you in your quest. However, the experience is a brief one, and this tale is merely the first of what may be many chapters.
If you seek a wondrous adventure game at a budget price, look no further than LostWinds. 'Tis a stylish game that makes excellent use of the Wii's motion sensitive controls. It is conveniently available through the Wii's Shop Channel for a mere 1,000 points, and it will provide you with a quick gust of entertainment. Heed the winds and go forth! You must help Toku keep Mistralis safe!
