Counter Force

I believe this game was meant to be released on the Dreamcast or the like because it has similiar graphics, sounds, gameplay, and yes even the controls. Even though the controls have been adapted for the Nintendo Wii and just doesn't feel natural. Aimed shot is with the A instead of B, bombs are with the 1 (kinda awkward), and movement is with the Nunchuck controller and the joystick. There are only 5 levels, 13 enemies, and 5 bosses. You have a decent arsenal of weapons, though. You have: Aimed Shot (A to shoot, Wiimote to aim), Fixed Shot (Z), Homing Missiles (C to Target, Z to fire), Charged Laser (Hold Z when charged) and Super Bomb (1). Movement is like water in a bottle. Maybe this game was dumped along with the Sega Dreamcast, only to be revived, re-programmed and released on the Wii to make a quick buck. This game would've been a nice arcade in Chuck E. Cheese', but definitely not worth even a weekend rental. My advice is stick with your Custom Robo.
