I’ve recently signed up with Tesco DVD Rental, who offer Wii games as part of their package (if anyone wants to sign up, please ask I’ll send you a referral).

One of the games I rented is Lego Star Wars. I had this on X-box, and it was quite fun, but I figured that on Wii it was going to be awesome. It didn’t take me long to figure out that making a game where you control a light sabre or a blaster would exploit the console to the full.

Sadly, they’ve really not done it right, and there’s no excuse. You play baseball in Wii Sports and you see just how feasible it is. You move your bat just a little, and it gets picked up. In Lego Star Wars, you wobble your controller to move the light sabre. It feels like it’s not been built for the Wii.

Hopefully, The Force Unleashed will do this properly.
