The Force Unleashed Wii Controls

Posted By Mike on June 4, 2008

Nintendic is reporting some controls for the Nintendo Wii version of The Force Unleashed. Previous reviews have noted that this will not necessarily be the definitive lightsaber/Wii remote game some of us might have hoped for, but it's still supposed to be a really good time. See below for an excerpt:

"Star Wars: The Force Unleashed will make extensive use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuck's motion-sensing capabilities. As you'd expect, swinging the Wii Remote left-to-right, right-to-left, up, down or jabbing to forward all re-create the basic light saber actions. As we already discovered it isn't 1:1, but GamePro reports that it is still a satisfyingly immersive experience. Other more elaborate attacks include Force Power (pushing the Nunchuck forward); Force Repulse (Hold Z+A and swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuck downwards), and the Wii-exclusive Force Malestrom (Simultaneously press and hold Z+A, then swing down with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck continuously)."
