Grating and Boring, awful controls

I really don't get why this game got such high ratings. The ultra-violence is kinda' fun. I suppose you could enjoy the crazy overacting, but to me it was just grating. No one would think this was a good movie. It just gets a pass for being overly crude and being on the Wii. House of the Dead: Overkill does the same thing, but it is slightly funnier and the game is actually fun to play.

The game looks ok, but the Wii's hardware really ruins things. What is the point of driving around an empty city on a motorcycle thing that controls REALLY badly.

And the jobs? WTF? Picking up coconuts and mowing a tiny little lawn? I don't understand how these aspects were not lambasted. The rest of the game is just repetitive fighting combined with semi-interesting boss fights.

The real combat in this game is between the players and the controls. Why do I have to keep flailing about for no good reason? I can understand the Wii-mote for boxing and bowling, but why can't I just hit buttons to do all my attacks? Of course, this game has you charging your lightsaber by jacking it up and down, tee-hee-hee. That is mildly amusing the first time, but in the middle of a fight it is awful.
