First impressions…
The Wiimote control scheme is a bit rubbish – far less precise than the dual stick method. I mean you can get by with it, but soon as things become hectic (and lets face it – this game is all about hectic) it falls down. Thank god for the ability to use the Wii Classic Controller. I read somewhere that Sierra have claimed to get their best scores with the Wiimote control method – I find that very hard to believe.
It also suffers slightly from the lower resolution of the Wii. Part of the appeal of Retro Evolved on the Xbox 360 was the ultra-crisp vector like graphics. Now it all seems a bit of a “smush” at times (again when it gets busy)
But the game is still fun – of course, but overall it feels like the Wii wasn’t the natural home for this. I’d have been much happier to have seen this released on the 360…
Still can’t complain too much for £18.
