The Wii remote is the most God awful control scheme ever derived for regular (read:real) games.

If they're going to build a controller around the novelty of motion-sensitivity, than a remote is the most sensible design.

But yes, the Wii-mote is terrible.

I agree that it works "well" for motion sensing games. Detection is a bit dodgy at times but it's definitely not bad, and of course you can't expect it to be perfect. But for playing...say...SSBB, it's horrible. Gamecube controller is the only way to play SSB games as far as I'm concerned.

all of the Wii Ports suck. Nothing was done right. SSX Blur uses the same track layout as older versions, Need for speed games are unplayable due to the horrid control layout, and not to mention the graphical downgrades are horrible. Need for Speed Carbon for example, lost all of the in car animations, graphics toned down by a beyond noticeable degree and the field of cars reduced from the regular 8 to only four. Even the 360, PS3, Wii games show noticeable differences by rating. It's bizarre how such a great concept can be plagued by so many dead ends.

The op is rather easy, its not being able to talk for 2 weeks after and having to eat dried toast to get rid of the dead flesh thats the nasty bit.
if you get given the choice, go for voltarol.

You have the ability to turn on "Team Colors" in Halo Wars. So then I ask My Self... Why in the world did they make the Covenant all purple in campaign? My head is boggled.

I'm not the only one asking (or bitching) about it... I have yet to find an official answer to Why?

They've always added team colors to most RTSs, the only possible explanation I can think of is to make the Allies/Enemies/etc. easier to distinguish.

Yes I know...that was what I was thinking. But. They could of done this without making the Covenant All Purple.
All Green UNSC is fine...after all our big green style can not be defeated. They could of kept the green thing for the UNSC...and let the Covenant be there respective colors. Is it really so hard to Distinguish an Elite to a Human? A Covenant Ship to a Human Ship? I would Imagen not...at least for Halo fans, AND if they for one reason or another couldn't distinguish who was who...Isn't that what team colors option is for? To do it twice seems redundant.

They could of had the best of both worlds...but didn't. I'm confounded.

Whoever this person is, they need to die.

You would think after a certain point, they would just purge inactive accounts. -_-
