What are these 50+ adventure games you're talking about? Are 40 of them independent games? Are they all point and click adventures or just adventures?

Okay, here's the deal with Bonelich.

 Everybody's intuition with Bonelich is that you waggle the wii remote to the beat, but that's not what the game is looking for! The game is looking for a streak of IR light to flash past the camera on the beat. In other words, you don't want to flick your wrist on the beat, you want to point the wiimote at the sensor bar on the beat.

There are other puzzles in the game that use IR when you might think they use motion, such as the fishing puzzle. It's a substantial failure of the game's design that almost everybody fails to understand the actual input mechanic used for these puzzles.

will try that famousringo - I was stuck on that for 3 hours last night and gave3 up, it doesn't ley you know when you're right or wrong, how to do the red zig zag parts of it, what you're target is (do you have to get it all right) or anything.

Extremely bad instructions and implementation on that part so if this makes it a little easier then fantastic.

i love z&w

hopefully we'll see more puzzling adventure games on wii AND on the ds (which i plan to buy this year)

Bonelich is simple. Remember the most important part of this game is how you hold the wiimote.

1. Hold the remote relatively straight up with the buttons facing you.
2. Watch the next little bell.
3. When it turns white flick your wrist forward as if you were drumming in air. The buttons should go from facing your to facing the ceiling.
4. When it hits the red lines just keep drumming until it reaches the end.

I don't know about it using the sensor or the motion, personally I think it is motion.

I don't get people's trouble with Bonelich. I completed them with wrist-flicking, not by aiming at the sensor bar, and except for the first one, none of them took me more than a couple of tries. Some tips:
-Don't flick the Wiimote horizontally, but vertically: like superchunk said, as if you're drumming in the air.
-On the extended notes, start with a normal shake, then 'vibrate' quickly up and down: do NOT keep shaking on a normal tempo. Make sure you stop at the right time.
-Most pieces contain a basic rhythm with some diversions: keep following that rhythm and watch out for the coming diversions.

I´m very interested in this game, maybe I´ll buy it in the next months.
