Website fails at telling me about the gameplay. Too much shitty flash and not enough use of the frikkin English language.

Unless a picture is so good it practically grabs me by the ears and skull****s me, I typically give new games about 2-3 minutes to pique my interest or at least tell me why I should care in the slightest. I'm sorry to say this game's website tells me little-to-nothing about how I play this game if I don't have a Wii Remote, so it epically fails on that count. There's no PC-specific information on the control system or on how many levels the game has.

It looks like it might be fun on the Wii, but it looks like a lot of that enjoyment doesn't transfer to the PC interface. Why this is on Steam I don't know (other than to cash in on Portal/Half-Life junkies looking for their next fix of cheap game tie-ins. Peggle at least was good, this looks like a Wii game on the PC. When I saw one of the main features is a Ninja name generator, I closed the website in despair. Is it any wonder that so many Indie game developers fall through if they fail so epically at basic product marketing and website design?

If I had a Wii, I would buy this for my kids (if I had kids). Since I have no indication of how well this has been ported to the PC, I would not buy this for my kids, because I can think of about a gazillion other beautiful retro games suitable for young people.
