| Gamerace said: There were some other games that used motion really well - Godfather, Scarface, Bully, RE4 are all a ton of fun with motion controls (and IR aiming!). Of course, they are all ports but it still enhanced gameplay. Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings used motion controls extensively. Makes fighting fun, but a little tiresome afer a while. It's only a mediocore game though all in all but worth picking up cheap. Tomb Raider: Anniversary used motion (and IR aiming) pretty well and while it's a very solid game, again, another port. TR:Underworld strangely didn't carry over the controls scheme of Anniversary and while it still employs motion, it's sloppier and feels half-hearted. I'd be remissed if I didn't mention Red Steel 2 and it's use of WM+ - it's a FPS but it's almost a brawler it's so focused on swordplay. Then of course there's Metroid Prime 3 / Trilogy which are Adventure/FPS with great use of motion/IR. However, the best Wii exclusive action/adventure game using motion/IR controls is the immensely underappreciated Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. It's a totally seperate game from it's HD counterpart and gameplay is built around the wiimote (mainly IR not so much motion). Better rated than it's HD cousin. Sold like sh-t. Available dirt cheap everywhere! Then there's the Force Unleashed games and the Spider-man games and others which are decent and do a decent job of using motion (but no 1:1 lightsabers..bummer) but weren't really built around motion-controls. So there's a few, but not a great number considering how long Wii's been around. However, TLoZ:SS is the game we've all been wanting to play since Wii has first announced. Something epic that really uses motion well to engage us and make us feel like we are Link. It's the game Wii should have launched with, and if it had, maybe you wouldn't be asking this question now. |
None of those did good from a sales perspective, even though they were good. i think that just has more to do with the Wii audience, if it isnt dancing, exercise or a Ninty game it will only do so well
