NyxQuest is a very well made and fun platforming game in the style of LostWinds. The two titles share in common very ambient presentations complemented by great graphics and moody music. And for better or worse, they both also brandish slow and methodical pacing, so if you found LostWinds a bore, you probably won't like NyxQuest either. I happen to like Over the Top's first WiiWare effort a lot. Main character Nyx controls well. The Wii remote-manipulated abilities are inspired and entertaining. The puzzles complex and smart. The difficulty challenging, especially as the quest wears on. And the entire package is realized by way of artistry and graphics of a caliber -- well, shall we say, uncommon on WiiWare. So if you're looking for your next purchase, this is it.
