Hey, Orin. That's my point of why I enjoy fully accessible games, like the ones that people make especially for the blind. Now I'm not saying the way that some people on here play their Wii is a bad thing, but for me I would rather play a game that is fully accessible to the blind. The

Hi Chandu, Well, I've honestly got some mixed feelings about this one. The idea of a wizard duel sounds ok in of itself, but I can't help but feel as though the game is too simplistic in design. it lacks any kind of complexity or depth I'd expect from a good audio game. What I mean by that is
