Problems with Boom Blox and Wiimote

I'm wondering if any of your guys bought Boom Blox and are having any wiimote tracking issues with it? I ask because I'm having a terrible time with it, the remote seems to sometimes "stick" and not move the target sight at times (and I dont have a target lock set), or the sight just disappears. Other times, I move my arm a teeny bit, and the cursor flies all around the screen, not even in a straight line, but crazy zigzags.

I read on some other forums people are having weird wiimote problems - like a friend of mine, when he plays this game, the remote is completely reversed with the button controls, and he hasn't changed a thing.

Anyone else seen anything like this and/or found a forum with a cure?

I think mine does that from time to time, but it hasn't caused any real game problems. Just takes a second for it to register.

I spoke with two friends who are having the same problem. It's so annoying, because this is such a fun game

Mine stuck a couple times but nothing more than what I would consider a "nuisance".

I have been having annoying tracking problems w/ the wii remote as well. I thought it was the remote or the wii, but it was not happening on other games. It is very frustrating and happens on just about every puzzle now.

I'm thinking it has to do with the puzzle loading. I think every time it happens to me it's right at the beginning. It's been a while since I played though.

I haven't had this issue. I just got the game. Are you sure it's not just how some of the items work? The laser sticks for a second in one position, and the exploding ones sometimes dont let you restick quickly.
