What a debacle if true.

I'm really enjoying it. It is still a great game and I wanted to play through it again especially since I never played Episodes 1-3 before.

I have nothing to compare it to, but Lego SW on the Wii is pretty amazing. No, you don't HAVE TO use the Wiimote as a lightsaber, but you will.

It comes with a warning label that says if you aren't standing up, the game will not play correctly. Weird. I make sure to stand while I insert the disc just to make sure it works. So far, the only time it didn't work was when I had to sit down to eat dinner one night. I haven't made that mistake again.
Post of the year.

Another question about Lego SW: Can you use the nunchuck or do you actually need to use the Force?
I ask because I don't really want to exert myself using the Force all the time. I mainly use it now to get out of speeding tickets and I really just want to relax at home.

Zapper vs. 2 in 1
Hey all,
I am in search of a gun accessory to use when the new resident evil comes out...
From what I gather, any units that combine the nunchuck and the remote are identical in function - just different layouts pretty much -- right?
I mean what's the diff between the zapper and the 2 in 1 (already available)-- they both serve the same purpose... and have the same layout....
2 in 1 picture:
zapper picture:
See what I mean?
Also, I guess it all comes down to which button will be the main trigger... That would dictate which layout is best -- the nunchuck as the trigger vs the remote as the trigger...
I wonder what the "shoot" button in the new resident evil will be...
Actually, now that I think of it -- a major advantage of the Zapper, is that the nunchuck can be removed quickly and easily if a game requires it....bit I guess the 2 in one does too...lol. Back to square one...
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt!

On EGM Live, Nick Suttner stated he prefered using the nunchuck and remote standalone over the "zapper" shell for Umbrella Chronicles. It may or may not be worth the investment.

I'll probably pick it up though because for $20 you get a game with it.

I'm with DodgingCars. Even if I decide I don't like the shell, for $20 I get a Zelda game so it's all good.
Only weird thing is the Resident Evil comes out a week before the zapper.

Yeah, that's weird because it supposedly went gold. Maybe they're just holding off until this mad onslaught of new must-have games is over, so it can have a shot at getting some sales beyond mine and Pixy's...

Me too... I'm a GW whore, though I've only broken a million a couple times.
