I thought that was a risky subtitle until I realised it was CLicked not D.

What a shame. Looks like the devs just tried to shoehorn a DS game onto the Wii as a straight port. Another Code was alright on the DS.

While reading, I got the feeling that this being reviewed by something actually liking adventure games might have yielded another point or two.

I dunno I think this sounds like a cool game and the screens look beautiful. I've certainly got time for it.

I really loved Another Code on DS. I had no idea this was even anywhere near release until I read this, and I'm just so tempted to buy it. But part of me tells me it'll be in the bargain bin pretty soon.

@liverpoolfc - Wii Sport Resort, New Mario Bros and Wii Fit+ and Metoid Trioligy are four titles that will sell big this year not to mention Mario Galaxy 2 and Metoid: Other M in 2010 plus a new Zelda title in the works as well. We've basically seen these games on the Wii once already which were all big sellers so I'm sure the new versions will fly off the shelves. If Nintendo still don't have you happy with this I don't think they ever will!?
One thing I have to give you credit for is your user name though!

Sad face.

It IS slow, but I like it for that. It meanders along at its own unhurried pace, and that's part of what makes it great, because it feels so out of step with everything else which seems to be trying to cater for the ADHD generation. And the story and puzzles in the second half of the game in particular have moments of genuine brilliance. It's an 8 for me.

I'm tempted to pick this up. I really enjoyed the first one, but I am a bit worried about the length for the price. I finished the first one in a single train journery from Manchester to London.

@consignia - It took me just over 14 hours to finish. If you shop around online you can get it for £28. £2 an hour's not bad, really.

@ChrisS

Aye, that's not so bad. I'll probably pick it up in the next couple of weeks then.

@MORZTAN: Hotel Dusk was amazing IMO, can't wait for Cing's next DS title which is a detective mystery set in two time periods.

Another Code was one of the first games I played on my DS and I thought it was decent. When the sequel drops below £20 I shall have me a copy. What I really want, though, is a sequel to Hotel Dusk.

I'll grab it for sure when the price drops a bit but, as a big fan of the DS game, I have a feeling a sequel is somewhat unnecessary, as the story was wrapped up rather satisfactorily in the first game i feel. The mention of a second character also going through problems who you will accompany sounds like blatant padding for example.....

Is it as disappointingly short as the DS game? I've been waiting for this one... the Wii is perfect for adventure games. Aside from the casual shovelware (and occasional good ones) ported over from the PC, there's not a lot of them.

EDIT: Oh, right, length question already answered above.

About 6 hours into it and really enjoying it. I liked Another Code and Hotel Dusk on DS as well.
For fans of the genre, it is definitely worth playing IMO.

I like the look of this (considered getting the DS version waaay back) but it bugs me that Nintendo feels it has to explain it's games in their most basic forms on the box ('Read and Solve Like A Mystery Novel!') for the sake of the casual audience. Seems a bit patronising...
