Wii Critic Reviews

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a gorgeous, engaging and touching experience, and one that no Wii owner should be without.

Fragile Dreams is definitely better than the sum of its parts: while there are some gameplay and controls issues, the excellent work made by Tri Crescendo in terms of setting, characters and storyline is really what will make you go on until the credits roll.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is a really cool action-adventure with some RPG-, action- and adventure feeling. You’ll get a stunning story with an awesome atmosphere and up-to-date graphics.

It may not have the best control scheme or the most fluid combat system, but Fragile Dreams is still a beautiful, emotional, and insightful look into what defines us as humans. It pushes the boundaries of storytelling in games and is another fantastic addition to the Wii library.

When Fragile Dreams is good, it’s excellent, with great cutscenes, a beautiful decaying world to explore and enough mystery to make Professor Layton hang up his hat. The combat is the only downside, though you soon learn to avoid where possible.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon is very interesting adventure and recommended for all Wii owners who want to live a unique and fascinating experience immersed in a world seemingly desolate but where emotions are still strong.

Despite some flaws, it establishes itself positively as one of the Wii's early standout RPG experiences.

I couldn’t recommend this game to a lot of people though, as it is more of a movie then a game. It’s niche and like I said, I can’t blame anyone for passing it up on store shelves.

The combat is sure to frustrate even the most forgiving of gamers, as you'll be doing more fighting with the controls than the actual enemies in the game. That being said, Fragile Dreams is worth fighting for.

The most existentialist Action-RPG comes to Wii, and its name is Fragile: Fareewell Ruins of the Moon. The game has an interesting plot and an incredible "mise-en-scène", but it hasn't a compelling battle system or many hours of gameplay.
