LOZ: Twilight Princess.

PERSONALLY I would have preferred to be able to press the A button to do normal attacks quite honestly. Shaking the remote just became exactly that after a while for me, shaking the remote to defeat baddies, I personally think this took away from some of my experience, so I was constantly Jump attacking (which is what Link does when you press A).

The REAL difference that is made in this game is the aiming with the pointer, this is truly awesome... AWESOME, if you think back to the OoT in the Gerudo Valley doing the arrow aiming task with the targets while you ride around on Epona's back, that was HARDCORE hard because it was hard to aim while you were riding with a joystick, with the remote it's still hard but if you're skillful you can aim where you want and BOOM headshot (heh).

The next big difference for this game was in the sword techniques that you earn and use during the game, the Wii Remote function of these is really awesome, jump flip attack, rolling behind an enemy and cutting him from behind, downward spike... all of these were good and used the Wii remote in combination with timing and button presses REALLY well.

Red Steel

Personally I think this game is complete arse, it's a rush job exclusive with poor controls and I don't care what anyone says about getting used to it or anything, this game sucks... I can see how FPS will work on Wii (COD3 was done right) Red Steel wasn't. Don't let playing this game set your view on the Wii


Yeah, I've heard other people say they would have liked to just press A to attack.  I really think that should have been an option considering the code was obviously there for the gamecube game and it's just a button assignment.  Hopefully more games include optional controls.  I would have liked to see a complete gamecube control scheme (allowing a gamecube controller) for the Wii version just so you could experience both.  I can imagine the arrows are easier, though.  I look forward to playing this soon.

I'm glad you are admitting Red Steel is terrible because bad controls are not something you should get used to.

Oh, all you Wii people have convinced me to try the Godfather game when I get my Wii, mainly because I just saw the movie (watching the sequel soon, maybe the third even though it's terrible I hear).  I didn't want to ruin the movie for myself by playing a bad game but it sounds ok.
