I picked up a couple of copies of this and then rented a copy of the DS and Wii version and it is a lot of fun. The single player game is decent but if you can get two or more players playing it is a really fun hack/slash/loot gathering game.
The Wii version and DS versions can all connect for local play or you can go online and play with other players. I have not tried the online play yet but the local play works perfectly and is very easy to get in to. (Other than the cost)
IGN gave the DS version an 8.5/10 and the Wii version a 6.5/10 but they are pretty much the same game. I actually like the controls of the Wii version a little more since you can you the stick to get around, where the dpad on the DS can be a little challenging in tight spaces.
If you play locally with the Wii version, the person with the Wii hosts the game and all DS player join them. You can join and drop out of multiplayer at any save spot, so again it is really easy to get into and out of game. If you just have DS systems, any DS owner can host and the other players join in. The cool thing about using a Wii is that you can all see yourself on the TV, so you are able to look up from the DS, especially during boss fights.
If you like the series at all, I suggest at least a rental. I am going to try out the online this weekend.
