This could have been much better, but if all you have is a Wii, and you like this series you might enjoy it.. (very big might)
The good: Graphics were nice, but if graphics are all you care about then why not play it on another system. Mission objectives and layout are good.
The Bad: The controls. Simply put, if you are going to sell a game on the Wii platform you had darn well better do extensive research and testing with the control scheme. The aiming was sloppy. The movement was sloppy (especially the leaning around corners). Throwing grenades? /rant on: Why should this be a "button press" when you have motion sensitive controllers? Lets get with the program here! I want to swing my arm when I throw a grenade -/rant off. The Wii controllers are sensitive and have a wide range of motion. This game does not take advantage of either.
The Okay: You get to shoot things and dialog in the cut scenes is mildly amusing.
The Bottom Line: Unless you have to play this game for some reason then don't bother. Red Steel made better use of the controls than this did (to bad that game was even worse overall)
-Z (still waiting for a good shooter on the Wii)
