Fragile, anyone else getting it??

The soundtrack is a gift, or comes with every game? waiting for impressions

 

It's a gift so I doubt you'll get it from the like of Play Asia but then again you never know. Most Japanese stores are giving them away with the game though while stocks last.

Played the game for 2 hours tonight and must say that I'm impressed. Starts off a little slow but once you meet the girl things really start to pick up. Graphically it's very nice however the lighting from the touch is a little glitchy I found. Also I feel that save points are far too close to each other but that's not really a problem since you don't have to use them.

The big question is " Can people who can't understand Japanese play this game?" Hmm, hard to say since to me it's just like playing it in English (well, almost as easy) but I'd say, yes. None Japanese speakers should be able to figure out what is going on without much trouble.

LOL your just evil :lol: hope my order comes with the bonus cd sometimes i get lucky when i order, but if not & you want to get rid i want to be first in line for that cd please.

 

Yakumo,
how are the controlls?

I must admit to checking out a youtube video of the first 8 mins of gameplay and with the way the person played, it seem like the controlls were somewhat disorienting (specialy when you go into the little book area at the start).

 

The controls at first are a pain in the arse since the remote turns you around and looks up and down depending where you point on the screen. The Numbchuck moves you about. At first I was thinking "Crap, more stupid bloody Wii controls just because it can be done". however, after an hour in to the game the control method sort of became second nature with no thinking required at all. So over all not too bad to be honest.

First day sales numbers, if anybody is currious.
Atleast Fragile should make the top 10 for this weeks sales but I must admit, i'm a little disapointed it got beat by a meh psp port of a ps2 game. It still can posibly rebound and have a better first week sales then the psp game (have to see).

 

All I can say is that I'm made up that another slapped together Nintendo made game didn't out sell a game that a lot of soul and hard work went in to. Still, 45% of sales is pretty good.

Played a couple of hours so far im upto the shopping centre, i love the way the remote speaker is used in this game, firstly when you have to play hide & seek with the ghost of a little girl you meet listening to her in the speaker to pinpoint her position.

Or when you get the personal frame & you can hold the remote up to your ear like a telephone & the personal frame will tell you hints on what to do, i love the little touches like that.

Camera is sometimes a little iffy & also like what already has been mentioned the torch beam can go funny too but to be honest its not that bad, the graphics are very beautiful. As i left the train station & was going up the hill seeing that beautiful sky made my jaw drop the view is stunning. I have spent ages going round each area im in & looking at all the little touches like the graffiti. They make the world it's set in just that little bit more interesting, im genuinely interested in what happened im hoping the story will explain just how earth ended up in this state.

So far im getting bits of the story but my japanese isn't that good so im missing quite a bit but im suprised how easy some of it is to understand.

All in all a great wii game IMO, but i know theres quite a bit of negative press about how it plays but im enjoying myself so bollocks to them :lol:

 

Bollocks to them indeed. I've not played it for the last few days (Or any game) because of my head being so dizzy thanks to all this medicine I'm on but I'm going to try and give it another go later on today. So far I've just come out of the train station and like you said, the view is stunning.
