One of the biggest problems about some games is that they can have all the glitz, glamor, and gameplay a game needs, just it doesn't end up very fun to us. Now, we've seen this problem in many hyped games. Heatseeker, has some few complaints, but this game is just plain fun. To start off, Heatseekers controls are easy to follow, which lots of wii shooters (and lets face it-wii games overall) could never seem to master.Instead of blowing you over with innovation, only with simple gestures with the Wii-mote can your plane raise and lower altitude, and take turns left and right, and this works very well.There are two main control modes, but both seem pretty similar. But there are some drawbacks to the game. yes, they have campaign and mission mode, but there is no multiplayer at all, which is a let-down considering dogfights are what makes flight-shooters so great. Now, i know the wii has not as powerful hd components for Next-gen, but this, this wouldn't even look good on a gamecube. Now, as so me objectives in the game can be repetitive, this game is fun to play, even with many setbacks. Overall, Heatseeker is not a great dogfighter (and without multiplayer, it probably shouldn't even be called one), but it can show to other developers that being easy on the motion sensitivity is a good way to go, just i hope developers will also see that you need a lot more gameplay to make a game amazing.
