Dewy's Adventure Review (WII)

A classic good versus evil plot sprinkled with an environmentally conscious twist.

Dewy's Adventure offers up the classic good versus evil plot sprinkled with an environmentally conscious twist. You play as Dewy, a raindrop messiah of sorts to the Eau, a group of mystical creatures who live in the Tree of Seven Colors. Evil comes to the Tree in the form of Black Rain, brought by the evil villain Don Hedron. This evil corrupts the tree and ruins the land. Dewy, an enchanted drop of water with special powers, attempts to defeat Don Hedron and his minions. Dewy triumphs against Don Hedron and for years everything's harmonious once again, but as more time passes, the Black Rains return. The Eau once again summon Dewy to save the world, and that's where you come in.

While we have to admit the introduction to the game is breathtakingly beautiful, the immensely cheesy voice acting did make us twitch during the extremely long plot set up. Aside from that, however, this game is lots of fun. You control Dewy by moving the Wii remote side to side and front to back -- much like the original Marble Madness tabletop game. Since Dewy's molecular structure is that of H20, he can change forms with the greatest of ease. Ice Dewy can perform jump attacks and ground attacks, putting deadly combos together. Mist Dewy can hover above the ground, allowing you to charge up lightening attacks that can stun multiple enemies, giving you that extra edge for ice combat. Water Dewy's no slouch either, his hip slams are powerful enough to take out some serious goons. These various forms help you weave your way through the mazelike levels, releasing your friends along the way and of course, taking out bad guys.

Goodies Mode delivers exactly what the title promises, extra goodies. Create your own levels, play solo games like enemy challenge, star challenge and time attack. If you get bored playing by your lonesome, you can even grab a friend and whoop their butt in some star-collecting multiplayer.

Aside from some weird camera angles that ultimately plunge Dewy to his doom, Dewy's Adventure is a fun and addictive game that'll appeal to any age group.
