Chicken Little: Ace in Action
Cool as the game was on the DS, playing it on the Wii was one-and-a-half-times as much
fun. The story is the same, the graphics have been expanded so that each venue -- Mars, Pluto, Saturn
and the Moon are given a different palette and looks. The images, on my standard TV
screen gave the game lots more punch, even without hi-def.
Ace is still the ground fighter, Runt the tank driver and Abby the Starship pilot. Three
different fighters, but basically all of them are shooting at enemies – although you shoot
on land, tank and air. The nunchuk controls the movement and the Wii-mote the
targeting and shooting. Similarity in nunchuk and mote control throughout the game
makes it easier for the 10+, but it's not only a kid's game.
This was the second Wii game I have reviewed – the first was Rampage.
Surprisingly it's not as easy as the advertisements show.
It took me awhile to get left and right straightened out – and it's not
all just waving the note, you still have to handle the buttons. But, as I got more
comfortable with the Wii my two hands became immersed, almost connected to the
game. The Wii is still new and we are a long way from the optimum usage of this little
machine – but what potential it has.
