I'm really enjoying it so far outside of the asinine control scheme. That bastard scorpion boss is made much harder by the fact that I have to curl my left hand around the Wii Remote in such a way that I might give myself carpal tunnel. Seriously, I have my left hand holding the B button to strafe, I move with the D-pad, and I'm pressing A to change weapons. It's freaking ridiculous.
I just beat the 3rd area, and I was on my way to Area 4 until I got there and died looking for a save point. Now it's bed.
This is kind of like a bite-sized Metroid-ish game. Doesn't seem to be as long or expansive, but it's still fun.
I like the music, but it gets so damn repetitive over time (same song for an area). And those sound effects are too blaring. I find myself turning down the volume because of them.
And that stupid boss comes back in Area 3! WTF?!?!?
