Super fun online multiplayer "shooter" for the Wii U. If you own a Wii U: definitely buy it. If you don't own a Wii U: buy both ;)
Tip: don't just dismiss the gyro control because "huh, how does that work? If you know how to use it, it's faster and more accurate than dual analogue sticks.
The only drawback: every now and then the servers are a bit overloaded. I guess Nintendo was a bit surprised by the sales success and they have to increase the bandwidth and maybe fix a few minor bugs.
The game is very good in terms of gameplay. The game idea is unique and the music doesn't let up either.
Unfortunately, it can only be played locally in pairs. And only against each other.

Brilliant game probably the best for Wii U only downside is no local (split screen) multiplayer, the balloon popping thing doesn't count and can't be played on the gamepad, it needs the tv to be played so if you want to get in a few quick matches you'll have to wait till the tv is free. 3 minutes per match make for some intense gameplay.
Have only played the first 3 levels of the story so can't rate that.

The game didn't convince me or the children. Unfortunately, the game has only a very limited storyline for two. The handling is also too complicated to just have fun in between.
We are disappointed!

Funny game that requires some skill and comes across almost unencumbered by the special and child-friendly implementation despite constant shooting. Especially since anyone who is "shot down" can simply continue playing at the starting point.
One's own character can be developed and the random online duels have their own special charm.
