Regardless of how you swing the remote, the result is the same, which means repetitive waggling is the name of the game here. Swing it once to do a strike swing it a few more times to perform a combo. It essentially boils down to waving the Wii Remote. Unfortunately, despite the weapon variety, combat can get a bit tedious. The items are all unique in their look, feel, and strength with some more capable of taking out certain types of enemies than others. These weapons are definitely one of the game’s strengths, giving you the ability to forge new and stronger items from things like a Nintendo DS stylus, corn on the cob holder, and gum. Throughout the game, Pax encounters a number of enemies - moles, mice, spiders, the enemy Amanitas tribe - which he can take out with a wide assortment of weapons created from “scav” items found in the environment. Shaking the Wii Remote will make Pax attack with his equipped weapon, pressing “A” will make Pax jump, and tapping the button again will cause him to use his cap as a glider. The nunchuck’s analog stick moves the little mushroom about, with the ability to block and roll mapped to the “Z” and “C” buttons respectively. Developer Red Fly Studio sticks with the basics of the Wii Remote and nunchuck combo when it comes to controlling Pax. But as distinctive as it seems on its surface, The Spore Wars is ultimately a bit generic - and sometimes sloppy - in its execution.Īs a third-person action title on the Wii, The Spore Wars succeeds by delivering solid controls that work well with the Wii Remote, but don’t really do anything special. Its common, real-world environments are interesting and fresh, viewed from the perspective of a tiny creature exploring a world that’s new to him. The story puts gamers under the mushroom cap of a young, unlikely bolete hero named Pax, pushing them into an adventure that is both unique and original in its sights and sounds. In many ways, Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is a triumph for third-party developers struggling to squeeze in alongside Nintendo’s strong, existing franchises.
