Why are people so threatened by the Wii?

1) You can "swim" if you want, but your gesture has not to be exagerated. A move of 10 cm of right hand is enough gor "pointing" attack.

wow, i honestly didnt even know that and im currently 30 hours into the game. thats pretty cool if you ask me. i actually get a little annoyed by how slow links side stroke is. thats what he does if you simply use the analog stick and press A every few seconds for him to give a little boost. i cant wait to try that. thats cool.

 

Why is a pointer important

 

wow, its very very important. like i think oli said, once you get the hang of getting the pointer on the screen (which there is a short learning curve) it is 50 x as easy to aim, and youll aim very natuarally without even thinking about it. just point and shoot. i can never go back to an analog stick after playing red steel, MoH, and Zelda. the pointer is also very nice for going through menus. no more tapping up on the D pad or analog stick 3 times, then left twice to get to a sertain menu. (i.e. a page of cards layed out. thats just a random example to show what i meant) you just point and shoot. i know many dispute this, but its also, FOR ME, is really really nice for looking around in FPS. i think it feels very natural and works really well, i honestly dont understand how people make such a big deal about it. it works better than an analog stick because you can look and aim at the same time. with 2 analog combo you must press a button to switch to aiming.

i did not have any trouble get used to any other movements that you must use in any game, its just getting the pointer on the screen that takes getting used to, everything els is instant second nature for most.
