The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces is based off an anime series, and developed by Project Aces (Ace Combat series)… so it’s no surprise that the animated cut-scenes and in-game dialog tends toward the overwrought. We’ll leave the story alone—although it actually is somewhat interesting—so we can talk about the control scheme. The game tries something most Wii gamers aren’t used to: by having you hold the nunchuk controller in your right hand and the Wiimote in your left hand, it simulates holding a flight stick and throttle.
It’s a very unique way of dealing with flying on the Nintendo Wii, but does it work? After playing the game for hours last night, I can report that the experiment, sadly, seems to be a failure.
