I'm with you there. I've spent the last few nights moving through it and it's incredible. Definitely the best Wii game out there, way better than TP, and probably going to be thrown in my top games of all time list.
The hint system works so well. I've used it only once (and then when it revealed what I had to do I thought "Oh, well duh.") and it really helps keep the game moving. I find I never get stuck on the puzzles of adventure games but do things like miss hotspots, which gets really frustrating. And since adventure games tend to come to a complete standstill when you're stuck I get frustrated. The hint system (and the non-linear elements) solve those problems so well and even when I've been stumped I've enjoyed it because I never felt like the game was paused or that I was missing something the designers should have pointed out to me.
Go buy it, for god's sake.
