Heavenly Guardian aka Kiki KaiKai 2

Post by Shelcoof »

Just picked up this game at EB for 10$ CAD for the Wii.

I was browsing around EB and I noticed the box, it was a cheesy box but the art work reminded me of Monster World. (MegaDrive Title) so I took a look and it looked pretty neat. For only 10$ its not bad but it was published by UFO so I was really worried lol. Last game I bought published by them was Monkey King and I am regretting it ever since. The Reviews for Heavenly Guardian is worse so I`m not sure if I should open it or return it.


Anyone else get this game?

lol seriously? I watched a few videos and it didn`t look too bad, but then the Monkey King didn`t look too bad either it was just too God Damn Easy!!!

Why did you hate it too much? Should I even bother opening?

Does anyone (and I mean like, anyone in the world) know how far they strayed from the original PS2 idea? It looked pretty fuckikng sweet. Then, got canned.

From all the sources I read, apparently all they really did was change the `sprites and background for the game. That`s my assumption anyways.from what I read.

The game itself is garbage, and the Wii version is even worse. It layers terrible wiimote motion controls on top of an already un-fun game. If you can trade it for the PS2 version you might enjoy it a little more, but there's nothing compelling about it. Take it back. Spend the $10 on a nice lunch.

lol seriously. Okay, I guess my gut was telling me it was garbage considering how much I hated Monkey King but I picked it up anyways just in case I didn`t have time to go back if I found good reviews.

I played the PS2 version once. Then I put it back on my shelf. It wasn't a totally horrendous experience or anything, but as a game it did absolutely nothing to entice me back for another go.

My roommate has the ps2 one, I think he got it for 5 bucks. I'm pretty sure he hasn't even bothered to play it yet, but it does look fun...
