This is game 2/71 of my backlog
I have mixed feelings on this game, but the negative side overwhelms the good side, by a decent bit.
I'll start with the negatives.
The controls suck piss, and also don't at the same time, I'm mixed on these pointer aim controls, sometimes it lets me do INSANE flicks that I wouldn't ever DREAM of doing neither in PC or Controller but sometimes it makes even just having an enemy at a 45° angle from you a death sentence because turning can be so difficult, the other controls are fine it's really just the aim that's inconsistent... There's a jump button, which I only found halfway through the campaign, it's the top dpad.
The Wii is also... REALLY loud when playing this game, I think it might be using the disc as some kind of texture streamer? At least that's all I can think of because otherwise there's no reason for it to need to read the disc every second
This game is also a very faithful port, which is a good thing, in a way, but considering the controls it's a shit thing. Because they expect me to deal with the enemies a certain way that I can't because I'm using the pointer controls, if an enemy shows up behind me I might as well be dead already, and also level 14 is just... Outright impossible without cheesing, I spent hour on it... even with the cheese you can die so, just a bad level, all of this leads to really dumb deaths, which leads to my playtime of this 7 hour campaign extending to about 9 hours, 2 hours of just dying...
Anyways, the frame rate is hit or miss, like, some missions it's buttery smooth 30 fps, and others it's like... 5.
As for the positives well... The story is ok. The graphics are well... They're technically appealing to me, they even have dynamic lighting, or at least some form of it, the weapons twist depending on the angle of the Wii mote... It's pretty cool overall, it's really rare to see a realistic game like this on the Wii and... I'm not too displeased.
Yeah that's all good I've got to say... I didn't have a single drop of dopamine while playing this.
This was a good wake up call, since I'm gonna be doing my backlog, some games are just gonna be shit, and I can't do much about that, just gotta keep going.
