Your Favourite Wii Game?

I've only played Zelda so far, but I can't imagine any of the other games being nearly as good.

I'm intrigued, how does Metroid do it differently from Red Steel?

It doesn't look like you have to aim at the extremes of the screen to move around, a little similar to CoD3's smaller turning circle, and you can lock onto targets - tracking a moving enemy is an area that Red Steel really struggles.

Metroid was more a first person adventure than a fps on the GC and i'm hoping it stays that way on the Wii.

Ahhh, so in Red Steel you have to aim majorly the the edge of the screen instead of just slightly to the side to turn?

OK, I get it now. Metroid has 3 modes.

Standard - Red Steel aiming mode with a large aim box.

Advanced - Smaller aim box.

Expert - Tiny aim box where virtually any aiming out of the centre of the screen turns you.

Yeh, it was something I couldn't get the hang of. You can't turn and shoot a bad guy in one motion - you have to move the entire screen, often moving you gun/crosshair right passed them (which feels all wrong), untill you have it in the correct place and then aim. I found my time split between unnecessary screen moving and aiming - at times it felt like a traditional light gun game, but one that involves moving the screen first.

Cheers, the the Metroid info btw Reg - I didn't know about the different modes.

According to my file info I've now spent 11 hours playing Red Steel and I've grown entirely used to the aiming and hit a headshot on pretty much every enemy. I got an accuracy of 89% earlier today. I think it just takes a lot of getting used to.
