Little Kings Story (Nintendo Wii)

The object of this game is simple, you are king and you need to expand the kingdom by defeating other rulers of the strange lands you invade. Blocking the way are random guardians and trouble makers that pop up every so often. To conquer these foes must put the citizens to use, commanding them to learn various trades. As the kingdom expands, so do the variety of trades and the amount of citizens to control.As king, you don't just sit on your royal bottom commanding from the comfort of the throne, this king leads by example, leading your chosen citizens to execute each task. As you travel through the various lands, you collect treasure to expand your riches and obtain rewards to dish out to the citizens such as weapons or armour.The game plays off in a cartoon environment with a cute, happy feel contributing to the experience. If you are looking for blood and gore then don't look here. The graphics for this game do exactly what is required, they are bright, colourful and well drawn. At times it is easy to get lost in the pack of citizens especially during chaotic battles, but this is a minor issue once you get the hang of things.The gameplay is excellent and will be sure to take a long time to complete. The controls are basic but responsive and that is all you need for this game. It has been stated by previous reviews that this game is frustrating due to the save mode which can only be accessed from your castle. This isn't a major problem as progression through the game rewards you with cannons that transport you to major areas on the map, saving a great deal of time.The game difficulty is nicely balanced, with a gentle learning curve although difficulty can be chosen within options. Boss fights can be a little tricky to master but just keep at it and you will succeed through trial and error. The strategy aspect for the game is enjoyable with only limited thought required to progress through each area. Throughout the game, progression is rewarding with the citizens throwing a party to honour your victory over the enemy!As always, if you like this game or not will come down to your tastes. If your happy playing slow paced games with a form of strategy and collection then you should love this game. In my opinion it is a real gem and worth every penny.

You have around 30-40 hours of playtime and its not really that gripping.

I bought this product for my grand son in Canada .. but he has a British machine to view it on (they lived in London before going to Toronto) and he can only play it in Black and White ... I have bought similar products for him before but this is the first time this happened.

If, like myself, you foolishly purchased a Nintendo Wii on the behest of a loved one, you might be wondering where all the "proper games" are for it. You know, the ones that have stories and don't involve too much of that flailing-about-wildly nonsense. Little King's Story restored my faith in the console by having everything I used to love about Nintendo games. The gameplay mechanics and controls are reasonably easy to get your head round;(if you're familiar with Pikmin, the game is controlled almost identically). The story has a lot of heart, and although it's not quite as fleshed out as a full blown RPG (this is more of a strategy/puzzler with RPG elements - think Harvest Moon) it's full of unusual characters and ideas.So, there are a few clunky elements, but none you wouldn't expect from this sort of title. The save system is old-fashioned and occasionally frustrating (although an optimist might see this as a refreshing challenge when compared to save-a-minute games that ultimately promote tweak-play). The game doesn't implement the Wii motion controls, but they arguably wouldn't have brought anything special.The much lauded soundtrack is nothing groundbreaking, consisting of arrangements of famous classical pieces (which can make the tracks annoying if you recognise them - the constant gallop of the William Tell Overture during boss fights instantly springs to mind). As with a lot of Japanese titles, there's no option to turn off either the sound or music, and as with a lot of Japanese titles, you may have good reason to want to turn off either or both.Central to the plot seems to be the struggle between religion and science as they vie for the support of the little king. The other rulers you encounter and do battle with all have some strange flaw that occasionally makes you think.The collectable items that so often become annoying when strewn around a game in awkward hard-to-reach places are made a little more desireable by the fact that each is a genuine piece of artwork submitted by fans in a competition. (Cue "Awwwww".)The cutesyness of this game, as with many Japanese games, hides a depth that's hard to find in a lot of current Western releases, which tend to focus more on looking like "real life" while simultaneously offering the same emotional content as a bowl of potato salad. I really can't recommend LKS more, especially if you've enjoyed previous games like Harvest Moon. It's a solid game, and even if players begrudge the developers' failure to make proper use of the Wii's motion controls, said players can always pause the game at regular intervals to run about outside waving their arms in the air. Or something.

El envio tardo mucho, pero el juego funciona, y lleva el manual. Ahora a ver si es tan bueno como dicen

jeu intéressant mais qui peut être un peu compliqué pour des enfants de 7 ans...livraison tout à fait conforme à ce qu'on attendait

Il gioco è avvincente e propone un gameplay variagato e divertente. Colonna sonora apprezzata (sono opere di musica classica) e longevità di gioco assicurata.

Qué decir de este juego... cuando lo probé en la wii me enamoró. Lo compré para jugarlo en la wii u y estoy muy satisfecho de haberlo comprado.El apartado gráfico no es que sea espectacular, pero está cuidado. Es un juego con mucho encanto. Tiene mucho sentido del humor, y promete muchas horas de juego.Es similar a la saga Pikmin en cuanto a que controlas un personaje principal y tus "ayudantes" hacen todo el trabajo duro.Lo recomiendo al 100%

Al juego sólo le faltaba el precinto para que diese la sensación de ser estrenado. La única diferencía es que la esquina de color de la carátula es distinta a la versión española. Pero el estado es inmejorable, al igual que el precio.
