Anybody got this yet? Looks interesting but I can't make much out of it.

At first when I saw this title it looked awesome then I saw the controls. They are pretty nice a tiny bit of waggle but nothing real bad. You have lots of different enemy types and lots of cool abilities such as your shield and your special attack Spinergy Attack. You have little enemies that you destroy by hovering over them and shaking your Wii remote to whip them. When you whip them you destroy them releasing the Spinergy and while using the B Button attack the bigger enemy until its destroyed to move on to the next round. To me it looks pretty decent I'd buy it.

Stay away from this game. The core gameplay is actually pretty compelling and totally functional, but the control for tail-whipping or whipping projectiles back at enemies, my god it's so poorly thought-out and even more terribly implemented. No control options either. God, just thinking about it pisses me off/makes me want to vomit. I'm a wiimote veteran and the nuance they ask for in the flicking makes for an essentially broken scheme. and the flicking happens in an x/y axis kind of directional way while the IR is facing forward. It's not even a generic flick to simply whip in the direction you're facing, which would have served the game much better. Having to flick upward in any direction at all is awkward and unreliable.

So frustrating, I WANT to be able to play this game, but the designers wanted to make sure that I couldn't!

So the controls ain't the best in the world huh. Well I'll just wait for a review then.

I urge everyone to get Flowerworks instead. That game is awesome. Reminds me of Big Bang Mini on the DS.

My thoughts exactly. I was quite angry about it; I don't understand what the developers were thinking.

What do ya'll have to say now? I watched the guy playing the game and didn't see no sign of struggle for the controls. The controls looks like its accurate.

I say it's still an ill-conceived user interface and a non-motion control alternative would have made the game more accessible.

It looks like the same thing can be done using the Geometry Wars Classic Controller scheme or even with just the Wiimote and Nunchuck using the face buttons. Sorry, I'm sure you guys tried and worked hard on it, but when you use waggle when a button press would suffice that's when the Wii seems like a gimmick.
