yeah, and the game isn't one that you want to take a break on. you'll have to spend a few minutes remembering the moves. I haven't played it in a while. I was playing it, axiom verge, and vesperia at the same time. axiom verge is confusing as hell. and, I don't remember how far I am in vesperia. I did get to the last stage in vesperia on the 360.
anyway, having not beaten the first one is why I haven't tried the second. I actually had my save get corrupted somehow after 8 hours. getting back to that point only took 3 hours. I just hope someday nintendo gives you the ability to backup saves to the micro sd card or a usb flash drive. losing saves is the worst. right now, my system is totally legit, so I'm relying on cloud saving to backup saves, but when I lost my save, the save on cloud was also corrupted.
