and a bunch of others I've never heard of. Anyway, I got it the other day and I've been playing it. It's pretty freaking fantastic. The granularity of control with regards to the wiimote emulating your sword on screen is a lot more amazing than in any other Wii game I've played. It really feels like you're swinging a sword around, aside from the weight. It senses what angle you're holding the blade at, and will react accordingly if you hit something with the flat of the blade instead of the edge. I'm really enjoying hacking and slashing my way through it. And the puzzles are pretty fun so far too. Anybody else playing it?
