I reloaded by a simple flick of the wrist. The C button brings up the menu where you can switch out your guns at any time and doubles as the pause button.

Also, Tofu mode is really hard! You only have one player, the base pistol (no upgrades) and no health items. Also, those giant ominous blocks coming at me are way scarier than zombies.

The screen-shot of that mode (above) is the exact moment I die every time.

I didn’t try it with the Zapper shell if thats what you’re wondering, but I know its optimized to make the controls work with or without it. Basic controls are:

analog stick for weapon switching, B trigger for shooting, A Button for picking stuff up (hold and swing for knife). + button for medicinal herbs (healing spray is automatic). And then there’s a pause menu somewhere too.

Reloading works great. You just cock the wiimote like a shotgun and I never had problems with it not working.

What a great way to review! Between the two of you it’s much easier to get a sense of how well the game would suit.

I grew really tired with the first game pretty damn quickly, but a friend of mine really enjoyed playing it through with me, it really is one of those games improved by having someone else sitting next to you experiencing everything.

I had real problems with the difficuly spikes in the last game and they hacked me off, so it’s good to know that this one is a little more forgiving.

Are the controls similar to the first game? bearing in mind we only have one lightgun so one person gets stuck without.
