A few years ago me and my sister got are funding together and decided to buy a Nintendo Wii. At the time I imagined myself taking all sorts of actions and having them fithfilled faithfully on the screen. This including swinging a sword around , point and click adventures games and verrruis other mostuoin controls.
Although fun and much better then old button mashing the Wii controls(besides the Point and Click) are inaccurate for example you can wave your hand slightly to wave a sword or play gold or spin 180 degress. Although inaccurate I did feel that extra motion was fun and worth the money and the motion controller where interesting enough for some fun games of Baseball, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz and Broken_Sword: The_Shadow of the Templares Wiimake*
When the Wii motion plus came out I thought "now there is an accessory that will change Will gameplay dramatically IF it does what it says it does". I waited for the "wright application" and when I saw a trailer for Skyward Sword and saw that it used the new motion controllers I know I had seen half of what I needed. The second half was "proof that it worked" after all the Wii had not been all I had thought it would be what if this where not either. Being interesting in the series I watched a review(several actually) and when the reviewer talked about how great the controllers where I proceed to put it in my Christmas list. At this time a message about how Skword sword was the game that I bought a Wii for appeared on my Facebook status.( thought I ment the mostino more then the game)
On Christmas Eve I got the game and accuesr as gifts and was not disappointed! All thought you don't have to use full swings(probably for safety) the fact that you have to swing your sword the correct way to hit the enemy makes a big difference! When you are killed by minor enemies beacuase you where trying to swing weildly it's time to admit the game is very challenging and I now must pay attention to each battle, but this is a good thing! When I bought a Wii more or a friend of mine said"now that we can use gestures to move, games can be a lot more challenging" and this was correct.
The ONLY down side is you have to callibrate it every time you start the game and you have to change "grips" beacuase the mostionplus takes a lot mroe space. That is my rant for now, I hope you enjoyed it.
