In place of timed button presses are point-and-click targets activated with the Wii Remote, and instead of mashing a button to bother a human or escape a trap, you'll merely wave the Wii Remote and/or Nunchuk. Other than that, the game doesn't make particular use of the motion controls or the Wii hardware - and the very key differences ultimately dictate what makes it distinct from the other versions. New Hive City sports a much different look in the Wii iteration, and only a handful of jobs (minigames) are available in the smaller beetropolis. Additionally, Barry B. Benson is no longer able to jack just any car in sight. Instead, he must use the job stations scattered along the city to magically summon his car from its resting point.
Fewer minigames means a less padded campaign than seen in the Beenox-developed game, but the altered single-player structure reveals a truly bizarre omission. While the rest of the game follows the same mission structure as the other versions, two of the later missions are completely missing, aside from the video clips that should have bookended each chapter. We were able to complete the gimped campaign in just three hours, and it seemed even more confusing and less cohesive than the other versions we played.
