Instant fun... but doesn’t give you a reason to keep playing.
My problem with the series is that there is no reason to try and stay alive (and dying is extremely easy!), as you get unlimited continues, so finishing the game is effortless. Also, as the score reset every time you continue, there isn’t that pull making you want to try again to get a better score or to get further.
The controls aren’t brilliant in this release, as there isn’t enough buttons on the wii remote (without the nunchuk) to cover all of the necessary moves: you end up shaking the wii remote to throw grenades, which doesn’t feel natural and it is difficult to move using the D-pad whilst shaking. This title was made for the Classic Controller; it’s a real shame it's not compatible.
