The demo began, and I burst out onto the track. I was immediately taken aback from how incredible the control was. It felt like ... well... like driving! There is seriously no other word I can use to describe it. Every small and subtle move I made was mirrored on screen, in real time. There was no lag in the system whatsoever; holding the FreeMotion and steering was like really steering. I was blown away by how everything else in the crowded venue just disappeared; it was as if I was playing at home.
When it was over, I immediately got in line to play one of the other games. The game was a simple shooter-type, not sure what the exact title is going to be here, but it was a lot like Duck Hunt with the Wii-mote (I even remember seeing some ducks flying around, no annoying dog though). I started racking up points almost immediately. I couldn't believe how fun the game was. It wasn't like it was on the NES, with the Zapper, where you had to have the gun almost perfectly lined up to the screen to score a hit, rather, you could put your hand down by your hip, and use subtle movements to target. It felt totally natural and was incredibly fun.
It may have a stupid name and ugly trucks, but Excite Truck is incredible. If you like your games fast and OTT, you seriously need to check this out NOW
The controls will take time to adjust to but once you grasp it, the visceral feeling of it is awesome.
Trauma Center: Second Opinion - a surgery sim that has gamers performing operations - usually gets buried under the mountain of hype for Zelda, Mario and other big-shot titles. But after an extended hands-on session, we discovered a title that's so inventive, intuitive and outright fun that it deserves to be on everyone's Wii wish list.
So, for example, if you have the scalpel selected you point the remote at the incision line, press and hold the B trigger to apply the blade to the patient and move the remote to slice. But even more impressive, the game uses the buttons on remote in ways to enhance the feeling of using each tool. For example, clamping an object with the forceps requires you to push both the A (on the top of the remote) and the B buttons. Genius.
We had concerns about the Wii remote's accuracy, because we know through playing the DS version that precise application of the tools, particularly the scalpel, forceps and laser is essential. The slightest slip could injure your patient. But believe us - quash all your concerns now because we had no problem whatsoever making tiny movements on screen with absolute precision. The stitching has been massively improved, with the bad gesture recognition of the DS version now refined to 100 percent reliability.
Erittäin positiivista matskua, pakko se on lisätä Trauma Centerkin ostosistalle heti alusta :cool:
Btw. ihan yleisenä muistutuksena, toista ohjainta hankkiessa kannattaa miettii Wii Play:n ostoa, Wiimote tulee nimittäin kylkiäisenä. Peli tuonee about kympin lisää hintaan, mut on varmasti erittäin jees lisäherkku (Laser Hockey, "Duck Hunt", Pool, jne.), ja nimenomaan multiplayer sessioita ajatellen.
Kuulostaa tosiaan fiksulta... tässä vaiheessa ainoa ongelma on, että pitäisikö ostaa suoraan 4 wiimotea tai tyytyäkö aluksi kahteen. En ole tarkkaan katsonut, mutta tuntuu siltä että yllättävän montaa peliä voi pelata 4 samaan aikaan ja siten moteja pitäisi olla se 4kpl.

eli nimenomaan wiimote ilman nunchaa?
edit: pitäisi aina googlata eka... ilmeisesti paketti on juuri tuollainen.
The crown of Zelda's new Wii tricks however, are the excellent ranged aiming-controls, which allow you to use the Bow and Hookshot as precisely as you like in a lightgun-esque shooting set-up. Ranged controls feel very natural and lend themselves to the Wii controller incredibly well, with a simple point-and-click set-up using an on-screen cursor to mark out your target. Literally from the very moment I lifted the pad, I was sniping enemy-archers from a mile-away and making short work of anyone foolish enough to approach my new toy. It's undeniably more accurate and more enjoyable than vanilla pad controls, and making the sound of an arrow travel from the remote speaker to the television is perhaps the most satisfying thing I've done this week (sadly).
