| GranTurismo said: I've played a bunch of games using the wii-mote and i must say it is very sloppy and very hard to control. I even had to have another person navigate the wii menu to get me into the game because it was impossible to control the icon on screen to get to the game. I'm sure i'm not the only person to have these problems. |
I hate to sound like the guy that defends the Wii no matter because I do believe and acknowledge that there are bad Wii games out there with bad control schemes but if the Wii menu was as bad as you say it is the Wii would sell like crap. If people couldn't even figure out how to play a game by pressing the button in the very upper right corner, the first one, then why do you think figuring out how to play a game on the PS3 or 360 is any easier? You have to go through each of those systems little dashboards and they are just as confusing as the Wii's menu (not confusing at all for someone that actually plays games). As for the accuracy, one of three things are happening: 1) you're sensor bar is in the wrong spot on the TV (I don't think it's that because your friend was able to navigate), 2) a light was shining directly at you (which I hope wasn't happening because why would you want a light shining directly at you?), or 3) you were standing off to the side of the TV. I'm guessing it was option 3) and in that case, you're not likely able to control the Wii well at all. That isn't a shoddy control scheme, that's just a design limitation (see that awesome spin?). Try standing in the middle of the TV or even slightly on the side and try again. I'm guessing your friend was in the right spot and didn't have a problem while you were sitting in a chair or something off to the side. If it wasn't option 3), well, then I don't know because pointing and clicking isn't that hard.
