Wii Critic Reviews

You need to invest in Opoona's world to get the most out of this title - but if you do, there's no traditional RPG on the Wii that comes close to its look and feel. [July 2008, p.56]

Its unique style and lighthearted charm set it apart in a genre increasingly filled with dark, somber epics.

RPGs are really under-represented on Wii; Opoona bucks the trend with style. [Sept 2008, p.81]

Opoona is one of those once-a-generation type games -- for many hardcore RPG fans this will be a bit of a letdown, but for others it could easily be heightened to the level of the Mother series if another game does come out.

If Opoona had a more motivating story and more enjoyable in-game tasks, it would rank as one of the best RPGs of the past five years, due in no small part to its innovative battle system and unique in-game world.

Casual RPGers may or may not latch onto this one, but longtime fans of the genre will should pick up Opoona without hesitation.

For every negative aspect of the game that inspires burning frustration to spew forth from your lips, there are plenty of things to like about Opoona.

While Opoona boasts nice backgrounds and music, and is fundamentally solid, it's definitely rough around the edges. [Apr 2008, p.87]

Landroll is a great planet to explore. Opoona's design aesthetic is fantastic, and the world gives off a sort of Phantasy Star Online vibe.

Opoona has enough character that, combined with its innovative combat and leisurely pace through an interesting world, it is comfortably its own experience. [June 2008, p.93]
