Are Wii controls enough to make an old game new again?

If you've already played through Two Thrones, of course, none of this will be new to you, so unless you really want to see what running up walls with the Wii remote is like, there's not much to recommend Rival Swords. Even so, it's still a great game in its own right, and while the developers missed a lot of potential uses for the controls - it might have been cool to snap the controllers like reins during chariot sequences, for example - they're still a fun way to play. Not quite fun enough to justify the price difference with the near-identical GameCube version, but fun nonetheless.

You'll love
  • Nunchuk chain-whip is cool
  • Level design still amazing
  • Slightly prettier on Wii
You'll hate
  • No new material
  • Hit-or-miss control scheme
  • Unskippable cinemas
