    I agree with everyone's sentiments so far. I was skeptical about this one, but after playing the lite version, I'm downloading it later on today.

    Just curious, does anyone have any idea of how long it might take to play through all the way? Lite version was pretty long, so I'm wondering about the rest of the game.

    The Wii version took me 2 and 1/2 - 3 hours to beat. I spent a little more time trying to collect everything, and then moved on to different games.

    Hopefully more Wiiware games make the jump to IOS. There were quite a few gems released in 2009 and 2010 that would translate beautifully to the iPad.

    This weeks releases were INSANE, but I have to say NyxQuest is EASILY the best game to come out this week (sorry Anomaly :().

    nope... that would be a friggin tragedy! =oP

    downloading now... I just watched the vid... and wow!!! I can't believe I was going to pass this one up! =oO

    When I first saw the screens for it... i thought it was just another point and click adventure, or some sort of touch screen interface adventure game... didn't even see the buttons on the bottom of the screens... =oO

    Ah man, I'm running low on iTunes money, I gave my last two giftcards to my daughter!

    What a STEAL for a dollar! The screen shoots really don't do it justice! Thanks for the heads up on this one!

    As far a the wii, all we use it for any more is netflix, maybe I'll have to start getting back into playing some wii ware games!

    This was one helluva surprise! Fun mechanic, awesome atmosphere, stunning graphics and a nice touch of mythology. Definitely a winner.

    I think there are 20 levels.

    I love it so far. I was interested in this game when it came out for WiiWare but I never bought it, so this was a nice surprise. The game is a ton of fun.

    That's right. As folks have already remarked, it's not a very long game (it took me about 3 1/2 hours on my Mac, but others have done it faster). It's to the game's credit that, having paid, $10 for it, I didn't feel ripped off by the length. At .99 (or whatever they end up charging in the end) it's an excellent deal.

    Let me say that this is one of the few instances where I'm actually enjoying the game better on the iPhone than on the Mac. Using a mouse to manipulate objects felt kind of awkward; using your finger on a touchscreen is as close as you're going to get to playing Zeus in a game.
