Wii No Friend to Adventures?
There are lots of rumblings going around the internet that says the only people who can make a good Wii game is Nintendo themselves. Why is that? I mean, there are all sorts of cool ass things you can do with a Wii Remote and a little magic. Yet, no one can make a decent game that will entertain the masses as far as the Wii is concerned.
And it looks like this generalization may also include adventure games.
A guy by the name of Jack Allin over at Adventure Gamers wrote an article in which he describes what the downfalls of two adventure games, CSI: Hard Evidence and Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None, on the Nintendo Wii.
So, what’s wrong with these games on the Wii? Well, according to Jack, CSI: Hard Evidence is an exact replica of its PC cousin and there was no attempt to add any of the unique Wii features such as motion control. But, having motion control isn’t necessarily a good thing, as you can see with Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None. Why? Because the motion response in the game is horrible and doesn’t respond well to normal humans using it. Not only that, but the game doesn’t actually tell you HOW to use the motion controls, which is fairly annoying, because sometimes you have no idea what the hell to do in the game until you start flailing your arms about and a lid pops open. Or something.
So, there you have it. Adventure games for the Wii? It would be awesome, but someone has to do it right first.
Dangit.
