A great fps for the Wii at last! Just what I was after.

All I can say is WOW! I love this. I really can't understand most of the negative comments on this game. Especially those pointing at the controls.

Basically, how ever you would like a fps game to play on the Wii, this game DOES IT!! You want loose controls so you only turn when your crosshair reaches the edge of the screen? Fine. You want it tighter so you turn with the slightest movement of the crosshair, as in CoD3? Fine. You want to turn faster or slower when you do? Fine. You want the crosshair to stay dead centre in the middle of the screen? Fine. This game does the lot! I have tried all settings, and there are settings here for everybody! Tip: If you do select the crosshair to stay in the middle of the screen ('aiming mode' in options), minimize the deadzone so your slightest remote movement will register.

For those who moan about the nunchuck gestures, each can be disabled. And if you don't want to disable, you can turn down the gesture sensitivity!!! You really can't go wrong with the settings in this game.

Me? I have tried a few different ways, but have ended up sticking with the original set-up regarding movement. However, I have disabled About Face and Jump/Stance gestures. I didn't have a problem with these, but I can see further down the line I might, so I'd rather use buttons.

The game controls much better than Red Steel on it's default settings, and better than Far Cry, as Far Cry turns too slowly.

The game itself is great so far. I was expecting the allied soldiers to get in the way, but so long as you treat them with respect (ie let them go first sometimes) then they are fine. The shooting seems accurate enough too. Sometimes you need to change your primary rifle for the longer shots to get a good head shot in (which is probably what some reviewers never bothered trying). The graphics (for Wii standards, not comparing to PS3 etc) are excellent. A high texture resolution makes for some detailed scenery. Animation is spot on too. Sound is superb, absolutely spot on. Great effects, great music, great speech. Gameplay is very exciting, but most of all, FUN. Because of the ease of the controls you'll be shooting Germans through the helmet in no time. I have selected the medium difficulty, and did die a few times on my first few runs of the first campaign. But when I died, it was because I was getting too cocky. My only reservations with the game is it's longevity. With only four campaigns, and the first one being completed within the first 20 minutes, it makes me wonder how long this great game will last.

As for multiplayer, there are four multiplayer games- Death match, Capture the flag, Scavenger hunt, King of the hill. CtF and SH seem very similar, having to find something and take it to another location. For each game, there are the same 6 maps to choose from, with various other options to choose from too, like how many kills in the Death Match for example. Plenty here to keep you occupied with mates. Yes it is a shame there are no bots, but it is still good for something that isn't online (come on Nintendo!).
