The wii topic

I did get Red Steel as well. I haven't enjoyed a console shooter as much since Perfect Dark on the N64. I don't understand all the complaining about the controls; they felt natural to me after five minutes of play whereas I have never been able to get on with using dual analogue sticks. I always ended up blowing my own feet off, or running about in circles. Much prefered Perfect Dark's control set up, with forward/backward/strafe on the cluster of buttons, and look on the stick. The training sword fights were neat too; nothing wrong with them. I did tweak the sensitivity a bit, and set the sword fights to large movements instead of small, so maybe that is important in getting it to control well.

I'm not a shooter connoisseur; in fact I haven't really played any for several years. Maybe it's my uncultured tastes showing? Whatever, it's fun and that’s all I care about.

Wii Play is great when played with another person. My boyfriend and I wasted an entire hour on it before moving on to a bit of tennis. Target shooting is fun, and the fishing game. We didn't like billiards much.
