I just looked this game up on metacritic and the reviews are all over the place. 1Up gave this game an F in their official review (translates to 0 on metacritic), but
Nintendojo gave the game a score that seems to coincide with mine! Their review is also quite lengthy and exhaustive, and a good read for those more interested in the minutiae of the game.
I also went to youtube to watch some user videos in fear of what I'd have to do for a video review... *shakes head* what have I gotten myself into?
