Wow this looks VERY robust, I'm foaming at the mouth right now! :E

It is not wise to speak on subjects you do not know all facts about, nor is it smart to judge a game based on looks alone. PSN: Nintendo_Gamer 3DS: 4296-3029-7422

Early word from Audrey and Rich's Ign podcast - this game is rank/horrible and nothing like the ds installments!Smilie

When in doubt....Whip it out!
