I have been offered a copy of Baroque on the Wii to review, but I know nothing about roguelikes, and I am always hearing people bitch about how roguelikes are allways reviewed by people who know nothing about them.

If you know lots about roguelikes, and have free time to write up a review of Baroque for me asap, pm me your address and I will get it out to you.

Edit: The Rev Owen is going to be doing it, I'll maek poast when it is up, thanks guys.

Eesh. A rougelike is a game like Rouge. Think of Nethack. If you have never played Nethack, it's basically a game made out of ascii where you die lots and lots and lots. Also, I would have offered to review this but a) I'm dead busy and b) I don't have a Wii...

However, in this case, Baroque appears to be made out of polygonal bits and pieces and not text. A synonym for "Rougelike" when not all ascii-based and requring the memorisation of 56 different keyboard commands would be "Hack and Slash". Think of, say, Diablo. or Diablo II.

A rougelike for the Wii? How the hell are they going to do that? You can only properly play rougelikes on greenscreen mainframe terminals...otherwise it's cheating.

I just want to say: if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it.

Goodbye.

This could be the most awkward one yet. I'd go and get a rhyming dictionary and try my luck, but they're rather expensive and I am totally baroque.

Obscure game FTFY.

Incidentally I'm wondering when Rising Star are going to release this, along with Growlanser 5, it seems to be putting the release dates of them back further and further.
