Yup, that game has near-perfect Wii controls. More companies should have learned from it. It doesn't overuse motion, it doesn't underuse it, it uses it in intelligent and fun ways that add and do not subtract from the gameplay.
Everytime I see a Wii game with crappy wagglish controls, I think to myself, WHY COULD EA TACK MOTION ONTO AN EXISTING GAME 2 YEARS AGO, DO IT RIGHT, BUT YOU CANNOT?!
I think a Wii GTA would do fine. They would probably have to use the old Renderware engine, but that worked damn well back in the day, so it would be fine. (And save dev costs.)
I'm surprised at all the freaking out that was done over Chinatown wars. Portable sales are different from console sales. Rarely does anyone stand in line for hours to get a portable game, they typically sell well overtime, even the best of them. For instance, I'm going to be picking up Chinatown wars at some point, but I really don't feel the need to rush out and get it like I have with other games. (KZ2, Galaxy, Halo).
