Review of Heatseeker for Wii

So when I bought this game I was very happy I had a fifty percent off coupon for anything at Best Buy so I bought this game for about twenty seven dollars. I say that first because this game is only worth about thirty dollars maximum and if you paid fifty then you will be disappointed.

When I got home and put this game in my Wii I was pretty excited I actually thought this game would take control of the Wii's graphical power. I was very wrong the graphics were not just bad they were awful. Everyone knows that the Wii is only a little more powerful then the original Xbox but this game looked like a first generation Gamecube game.

This game plays really well and turned out to be a lot of fun. Everyone asked so many questions about how you can control a plane with just the nunchuck and the Wii remote. Well Codemasters did a very good job with this the nunchuck is used to control your plane if you tilt the nunchuck to the right you go to the right and if you pull the nunchuck up you go up. The analog stick on the nunchuck is to control speed pushing it forward makes you go faster pulling back lets you go slower. The remote is used for most of the action. You can use the D-pad to give commands to your wing man and the plus, minus, one and two buttons switch weapons. Heatseeker plays out really well and can be a lot of fun.

The missions on the other hand get pretty boring after a while and eventually you will not want to finish story mode. This is because of how repetitive the missions get and with only about five different aircraft to choose from the excitement dies down very quickly. But blasting enemies with an unlimited amount of bombs and machine gun ammo is always fun and will put a smile on your face.

Overall this is an alright game that plays very well but I do not think there is a flying simulation game that combines excellent graphics, fun game play, unique missions and presentation. This game is fun and will keep any Wii owner occupied for a while and it is a excellent deal if you can purchase it for around thirty dollars. If you pay more then thirty dollars for this game you will be disappointed.
