Even considering the rough spots, there's no denying that The Magic Obelisk is an excellent value. It's charming and visually appealing, and there's a lot of content you get for its tiny price. The Magic Obelisk is definitely worth every point and then some.
"The Magic Obelisk was considered, by many, to be a unique puzzle-platforming experience when it hit the WiiWare service. I thought highly of it when it came out, and it's still one of the most impressive titles to ever arrive on this platform. And so, it was such a privilege for me to be able to communicate with the developers about this project they worked on." -- Wiiloveit.com
Following on from the of Game Arts' first WiiWare release, The Magic Obelisk, Cubed3 was given the chance to talk to the Producer of the project, Takahiro Nishi, to discuss the game in more detail, whether a sequel is likely, what is happening with the company's other properties, Grandia and Lunar, as well as if people can expect to see further releases from GameArts on WiiWare, or even the DSiWare download service.
The Magic Obelisk is a rich and memorable experience. If you're at all a fan of puzzles or charming tales (or any combination of the two), don't overlook this gem. For the price, there's really no reason to hesitate. Download, partake and spread the word, fellow Shadow Walker!
