Alrighty, First off the game is MUCH better than impossible first one. The story is pretty weak though. It's an AWDW (light world dark world) game, as many other Nintendo games are. You start off on a mission to trace a distress call from one of your units ships. The atmosphere is VERY attractive when you start off. Lightening EVERYWHERE which is purdy nifty. Anyway, your ship is struck by lightning and "crash lands" coincidentally (check spelling) on the same planet your crew members signaled from. The planet is called "Aether." You set off to find your troup only to find there slewn bodies all over the landscape. As you walk through, you see some pretty frightening things such as your members hanging upside down strangled in trees. They may be skinned, can't a'member. As you proceed, you find smashed up bodied of your crew on computers and stabbed through rocks. You enter a certain room nd the dead bodies of you crew become possesed by some evil force. They come up and try to kill you bad bing bada boom. As you progress, you find your ship, and your eaten crew members. To move along, you are told by a remaining inhabitant aboot a paralell "Dark Aether" that is destroying there temples in which every thing is yeah. So you have to go kill everyone in a the dark world and retrieve the temples power laddy dah.
