Good game, maybe not so well suited for Wii

I've always loved guilty gear, so I'm probably giving this game a higher rating than it deserves.
This game has really interesting (bordering on absurd) characters, hilarious heavy metal music, and good looking, heavily stylized backdrops. Fights are interesting as ever, with each character having their own unique special moves and style of fighting. For overall design I would give this game a 10!
But the controls for this game are pretty bad (using the Wii remote/nunchuck). To punk and kick you have to shake the nunchuk (it varies depending on how hard you shake). And to do a slash and heavy slash you shake the wii remote. OR, you can bypass these and simply use the D-pad. Using the nunchuk and Wii remote, fighting sequences take a lot longer then they should for a 2D fighter like this. But if you use the D-pad you can do combination sequences much more quickly, although its more uncomfortable on your hand.
If you're really into fighting games, definitely DON'T use the Wii remote and nunchuck. If you're like me, and don't mind shaking them about and having your guilty gear characters fight a bit slower (and perhaps clunkier) than you are used to, than this game is pretty good.
