Many Best ____ of Year awards for video games have a category for best controls. While Zack and Wiki basic controls are point and click, majority of the Wii remote actions for the on-screen items are really well done. It would be nice to see this game win. But if any Wii game wins in this category, I think Mario Galaxy will just because of popularity.

I've encountered some motion recognition problems with the game though. Like turning keys and hooking the worm. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Galaxy's controls are perfect from what I've heard. No problems. So, it may top ZDub's.

Yeah, there are a few hiccup moments in Zack & Wiki I've found. Nothing bad by any means, but from what I hear about Super Mario Galaxy, a hiccup here and there might be enough to lose the Best Controls award to the big bad Mario.

That's exactly what it is and it has made the vest transition to console gaming due to the Wiimote.

I don't know. I know it's going to win award(s) for something Puzzles, Controls, or Innovation. Puzzles gets my vote because they really made me scratch my head.

Have you played through all the game yet? Cuz you would know that some puzzles wouldn't work with a mouse or not fun at all with it.

The only controls I've found sketchy so far (I haven't finished the game) were hooking the worm.

I thought that (on the ice boss stage) the control for rotating the beat was terrible. It seemed like it would either randomly turn left or right, and not necessarily the way I was moving. I later discovered I was doing it wrong. I was holding the Wiimote away from me with my arm straightened and moving my arm in a big arcing motion. That's not what you want to do. You just want to hold it straight up and twist it.

The music parts are very difficult too, but that's just because they are, not because of poor controls.

i have still though the controls are great they ain't the reason i loved this game, and they aren't some innovative.

this game makes me love capcom for being the first dev to come out with a good game for the wii, and to be honest i didn't like any of the nintendo franchises that've come for the wii either (i haven't played smg yet)

most of the motions look good cause u do the exact movement that u are supposed to do but if u do anything else the flying hand still does what is supposed to i mean turn a key to the wrong side and it still end up where it should

There is a difference between innovative control and best control.

Zack and Wiki may be innovative, but I think Galaxy (from what I've heard from EVERYONE) will have the best overall control.
