I didn't mind the first game too much because I always had people to play with... namely my brother and sister.
Having said that... and being experienced with my siblings, I think I will need a dividing wall between their crazy antics and my mage castings.... because... if the enemies don't kill me... I'm sure they will.

But w/e... I just want a fun game that utilises the Wii's potential. The storyline could use some more work from the last game, and maybe there could be more triggers with things as the years go by to keep things a little more interesting.
And sidequests... don't forget side quests!
