Game News - Brothers in Arms Marches onto Wii

Leipzig treats us to a few brief moments with the Wii's new WWII title.

As a brief surprise at the Ubisoft booth, we got to see a few short, sweet minutes of Brothers in Arms: Double Time on the Wii. The game looks, according to Ubisoft, just as good as it did on the original Xbox. We'd need to see both running next to each other to make a real judgment, although it certainly looked passable. We were happy to switch over to the next-gen game, no question.

More interestingly, the game will ship with two control schemes. One will be the traditional -- for FPS games on the Wii, anyway -- system of moving with the stick and moving your view with the motion-sensing Wii Remote. Another option will be to move with the joystick and toggle the motion-sensing on and off on the Wii Remote, so you don't have to have your arm stock-still at all times. Neither scheme will incorporate a lock-on, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption-style, so our initial thought is they're flawed. Hopefully Gearbox will prove us wrong!
