Dragonball Z, Budokai Tenkaichi 2 - Wii remote or old school controllers?
Turns out my son has found it far easier to play Dragonball Z - Budokan Techkaichi 2 - using the Wavebird wireless controllers that we bought for our Gamecube, rather than learning to use the wiimote. Flying, moving around and generally doing ‘cool stuff’ was just too difficult.
It seems that button mashing is easier in the old style controllers, rather than using arm motions to achieve the same effect. Is this a lack of wii-muscles? Is it poor design?
We’ve suggested that our older son opt for the wiimote when playing his younger brother, who could use the old style controller. This effectively provides a handicap to even out the two boys, who are about 6 years apart in age.
The camera angles in Dragonball Z - Budokai Tenkaichi 2 - are well done and really do have the feel of being in the cartoon. The fighting effects are rather nice, and it’s captivating the fellas for a surprising amount of game time.
Lesson learned, don’t be ashamed to use the old school controllers on the new Wii!
