PlayTM: Samurai Warriors: Katana

PlayTM writes: "It seems that in recent months developers have realised something quite obvious about the Wii: it can be used to bring those classic light-gun games from the arcade into your home where you can beat them without sinking your life-savings into the slot. The final nail in the coffin of the arcade? It's certainly the only type of game that I still play, there. Anyway, after the recent ports of Ghost Squad and House of the Dead comes a new variation on the theme.

Katana is a spin-off of the popular Samurai Warriors series that takes the setting and turns it into a first-person sword fighting game. The reason I compared it to light-gun games is that it uses the exact same mechanic; pointing and 'clicking' at the baddies to whack them with your katana. So if you were hoping for a truly motion-sensitive game involving swinging your sword, you will be a bit disappointed. Waving the wiimote in certain directions allows you to perform certain attacks but it is certainly not a direct translation of your movements to the screen." (Samurai Warriors Katana, Wii) 55/100
