IGN: Defend Your Castle Review
Defend Your Castle is a fun WiiWare game and a perfect example of what the service can bring to Wii owners. Namely, seemingly shallow pick-up-and-play experiences with hidden depth. XGen Studios’ project features only a handful of basic play mechanics — primarily, the ability to grab villagers and toss them around — but it’s frantic, occasionally strategic, and fun, particularly as a multiplayer game.
It’s also a deal at only 500 Wii Points. The big problem is that you will inevitably tire of the single challenge, even with the bells and whistles surrounding it. And, of course, there’s the fact that a similar experience can be had for free on your Internet browser.
