Will Brave’s stories and teachings prepare Courage enough to defend the Village when Wendigo strikes again?Brave: A Warrior's Tale :: Wii Game ReviewBrave: A Warrior's Tale is about a young Native American boy named Brave who becomes a Shaman to save his tribe from an evil spirit. The action/adventure game features simple puzzles, some tricky jumps and lots of combat.

For example, as a bear, Brave can attack foes with paw swipes or eat enemies whole.

Long Time No See, What's New?

Along with the original levels from the PS2 game, there are also four completely new levels, which doubles the length of the game! Also, there are two more playable characters and special motion controls for the game.

Unfortunately, time has not been kind to Brave's game. The graphics are not up to the standard of current next-gen games. As well, the game's camera is terrible and will be a constant pest and annoyance throughout the entire game.Comment:  With characters named Brave, Courage, and Spirit Dancer, you can bet this game is stereotypical.
