Wii motion too much?

Wii motion plus for Alliance

Commenting on the gamespot.com review of Marvel Ultimate Alliance I have to slightly agree and disagree with them. Ultimate Alliance for all purposes is the same game on the Wii and the PS2. That being the case they are two totally different experiences. I agree that the camera movement in the nunchuk controller is an added plus. However, the motion sensor does not take away from the core play to make it a solid game. People have the tendency to swipe and swoop the controller all over the place while their character on screen is still performing an attack. Patience is the key here. It is odd that the reviewers on such an esteemed video game website did not take this into account when evaluating the experience of the “Wiimote.” Moving the controller constantly throughout the game helps the game not become so repetitive. If the player knows to move the controller left while holding B to do a move then they never will have to scroll through the list of special powers to actually perform the move. That alone is innovation enough from the PS2 to the Wii.
