There's not a whole lot to say about this game. It's just not worth playing.
The controls work sometimes, but not always. After playing for a bit, I was able to get MOST of the controls right (up/down vs. left/right) with the exception of thrusting forward. For some reason, it would tend to act as if I were thrusting when I would shake side to side. While possible to overcome, the controls are an annoyance while you're adjusting, because you need to swipe once per swing on screen, not shake the Wiimote like crazy as per most other Wii titles available right now.
On another note, a bigger problem is that this game is just not fun. The very small move set gets old very fast, even with the weapon upgrades. There is no voice acting during some cutscenes, and poorly written dialog that comes off as ridiculous. Essentially, the game has cliche's after cliche's, and to a mature person who can look at the game critically, it's a huge disappointment.
If you're interested in buying a game for children, it MIGHT be okay. I say this because I don't know how long it would take a child to learn to execute the proper motions patiently enough for the game to recognize them. Other than the controls, it'd be great for a kid. But ironically, the game is rated T for Teen, which means that once you're old enough to be allowed to play this game, you probably won't want to anymore.
There are a few redeeming characteristics, because the visuals are somewhat nice, especially given some of the other Wii games released in the past year. But ultimately the game falls flat to a 4/10, in my opinion.
