Games like this have been done hundreds of times before, but then again, which type of game hasn't !?
The style used in this particular game is really one of the strongest points.
I loved the graphical style, and there were lots of nice original touches (like the sunglasses on the water level) which add that 'spark' to the game.
The gameplay is tried and tested, but the addition of health and enemies adds a nice twist to it, the level design was simple but smart, and the game as a whole just feels like a professional production..
Great work, can't wait to see more of your stuff!

"Amazing music video!"

Oh god, I was so delighted to spot a Sonata Arctica tribute flash.
While they aren't technically the band that made me a sort of metalhead, I started off listening to Blind Guardian, Edguy, Hammerfall and the like, then making me a huge Sonata fan as soon as I discovered their music..

Anyways, enough about my SA opinion, onto the real purpose of this review: the Flash itself!
The drawing and animation is nothing short of stunning, speedy and flashing at times, filled with cool effects and backgrounds recognisable by any SA fan, and the video as a whole just 'fits' the mood of the song, and perhaps that of the band as well.

Also nice to see that you put so much effort into the menus and credits, that's dvd-like quality stuff right there :)

Can't wait to see any more of your stuff, great work man!

PS: Did you send this movie to the band members, or post it on their forums or something ?
If you get any response from them, it'd be cool if you could post it in your author comments or post a link or something :D

I just beat this game on my Wii :)
It's even more challenging (and fun) pointing a wiimote around :P
Anyway, great job man, keep 'em coming..
