How does that work, for the Wii and all?

Well, you could read the review I WROTE and get my opinions from there Wink

I gave it a 9.0 out of 10.  It's downfall is that it's almost too easy to control, though playing Hypermode has fixed that (Yeesh).  If I hadn't played Metroid Prime 1 & 2, it might have been rated a bit higher, but it seels fairly close to those games other than the control scheme and a few extras.

Honestly, did you read the review?  Feedback is always useful.  (It's the top story on the front page) and it's nice to know if I can improve these so I can get better at writing them.

I don't read crappy reviews, especially by people who don't know anything about writing reviews.  All I wanted to know was how it worked with the Wii platform and all without a bunch of witless banter, sheesh..   Tongue Wink Cool

I'd agree with the assessment in the review.

It's a great game and I personally liked the motion based puzzles.  It's certainly the most engaging FPS I've seen since DOOM and the controls are the best console based FPS controls I've seen.

Biggest concern I have is the same concern I had with Zelda: Twilight Princess, the art direction is phenomenal, but the hardware is effectively being pushed to its limits less than a year after launch.

I'm not sure if graphics on the Wii can get better as it is effectively "two Gamecubes duct-taped together".  Not my quote, but accurate.  While I play games to have fun and I don't get wowed by graphics (I play WoW, if graphics were everything I'd have quit a long time ago) but the amount of jaggies and bad anti-aliasing is not cool on what's technically a sixth generation console.

I don't think they're pushing the hardware realy.  I think they can get more out of it, they just didn't, or didn't try.

It's a minor rag on an otherwise fun game, and honestly, I'm all for great gameplay and good graphics as opposed to the other way around.
