I enjoyed it at first, but quickly got bored with the limited music and the repetitive and similar, often reused from old games, fights. I used the hammer and greatsword with the wiimote, as the classic control was too quirky for me after I got used to the wiimote, and I never had problems with lag with attacks. Some of the environments were also quite ugly compared to others or looked blurry or dated.
I was also annoyed how most of the best armor and weapons are only obtainable from killing monsters online to increase rank, and impossible to obtain offline, dooming you to weaker equipment, or the drop rate for items from certain monsters being extremely low, and nearly impossible to get without extreme grinding over very long periods of time and luck.
The game could have been a lot better in my opinion...
