It should be selling much better.

would you recommend the game to Wii owners at its current price?

[N4GAddict]

I think it is even though the playtime is a little short.

[CoffeewithChess]

I'm guessing the leaderboards help add replay value for people that like the high score challenges.

I have read the game has about 4-6 hours of game-play, which is short I think for a retail game without full multiplayer of some sort.

But for an arcade style shooter 4-6 hours is quite long. The replayability is a given with the high level of challenge and rockin music. Anyone interested in the genre will surely get a good two dozen hours out of this without batting an eye.

My cheap ass still hasn't bought it >:(

I would love for some one to walk thur this game. A must buy you havnt played any thing like it. Most gamers will play it for 50 hours before beating it.

Oh yea, definitely. I just think people here, "4-6 hours" and are like..."That's a rental".

@scissor_runner:
"Most gamers will play it for 50 hours before beating it."
50 hours for one play-through? Or, 50 hours with the replay value the game offers?

I would recommend Star Successor at pretty much any price to anyone. Well, maybe not to people who don't like videogames/themselves.

"Most gamers will play it for 50 hours before beating it."

Maybe before putting it away forever; I cannot imagine it taking someone 50 hours to simply reach and defeat the end boss on any difficulty, especially the easiest. My first playthrough was on Normal with Isa and took me about eight hours straight through. The second time on Easy with Kachi, maybe about three. Skipping all cutscenes and knowing what to do, the next five times with the secret character option each took a little over two hours. Then Hard Mode, which I think took as long to go through Normal the first time around, so about eight hours there.

Since then, I've lost count of the number of replays, but each run has probably been stable around two hours. Maybe more the times I went through with the Classic controller just to see how it felt, and less for scoreruns for individual levels. Fun times.

I would recomend it to anyone, and yes..it's worth 50 bucks..

[hardcorez]

Another rail shooter...

[N4g_null]

Not quite it's more like contra for this gen. It's as much about your dodging skills as attacking method.

[TruthbeTold]

I beat it on Normal, and while I can't yet imagine how I'll manage it, I plan to beat it on hard sometime in the near future. That game is difficult, and fun. Not to mention that it appears to be a nice warm up before Kid Icarus is released on the 3DS.
