It actually sold fairly well, and has been reviewed as a solid if unspectacular shooter.
I'm actually playing it now - something about the demo said 'put this on the birthday list and buy something else instead
... so I got Zelda Minish Cap
. My parents got it for me, but we didn't get together until my son's First Communion a few weeks ago. And between other games and stuff ...
I'm ~2/3 through according to what I've heard, and am finding it to be a decent shooter. After a string of RPG's, it is nice to do some good ol' linear shooting. The feel is definitely Star Wars, in the gaming sort of implementation. But everything is bigger and grittier - like the enemies, for instance, who look bigger and meaner than in the movies. The weapons are a bit of a mixed bag, in my opinion, they are varied and responsive, but some feel a bit weak.
