I have been playing for a few hours and I am enjoying it. First the Celestial Brush when painting things like swords and suns it works perfectly but in battle you have to be quick and accurate. The personalities of everybody is quite unique. The graphics are at first some what disappointing but as you play it gets better and better. That feeling is was also with Zelda the Wind Waker.It didn't take too long to adapt.
How well does the IR work for the Brush?
To use your paintbrush you hold down the b button that will bring out your brush after that hold down A while moving the wiimote around.The IR itself is good you can move the wiimote forward to get thicker brushstrokes while moving it back will yield thinner strokes. It takes some getting used to but you don't have to be artistically correct when painting and early on there are tutorial while breaking rocks and various things of that nature so you will get better.
