Konami's series of survival adventure games drifts away from the DS for the first time in Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked. Players once again find themselves hopelessly stranded on a lush tropical island, only now they can use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to explore a dangerous and intriguing land dotted with shipwrecks, ancient ruins, and an active volcano. Gameplay involves gathering items, a process aided by helpful pets and a recently discovered friend, and participating in approximately 40 mini-games. Gamers must complete life-sustaining mini-games, such as fishing, carpentry, and fire building, but they can also enlist the help of a real-life friend for entertainment-themed co-op mini-games involving singing and dancing.
This game has gotten sub-par reviews from a lot of reviewers, but its like a pokemon game; its simple, fun and addictive. Its innocent and enjoyable, not another violent zombie/shooter game or a grand theft auto, which I realize are what reviewers like the most, but I like this game for what it is anf what it isn't; there is barely any violence at all, with the exception of killing animals for food. Try obscure, silly games; rent them from your local video store or Gamefly, you might have fun with games you would never have touched if you had read the reviews.
Anyway, Lost in Blue is relaxing, but at the same time difficult and challenging. The controls can also be a little lacking, the amount the characters eat in the game is not very realistic (unless they were morbidly obese adults) and this game is no looker, nor is it very deep, but it is quirky and allows you a lot of freedom. I'm glad I bought it.Read full review
Kids love the game!! This game looked different than a lot of games out there as you are shipwrecked on an island. You have to take care of yourself and find food and water. You learn how to do a lot of things to do with survival, really neat game. Both of my kids 7yrs and 10yrs are enjoying the game. Recommended!!
