Advantages: You get to swing your wii-mote to kill your enemies

Disadvantages: where do I begin?

I was hunting around for a new game on the wii, and having just seen this film, I thought it owrth the £15 to give the game a go. An added appeal for me was that it was multi player, and I love games that don't limit me to playing on my own!
I got th game home and read quickly through the basics of the game (I'm not much a manual reader, sorry!), knowing that I'd pick up anything else I needed as I went through the game. So here's the deal for anyone looking to buy this game; basically, you just work your way through the levels by completing the objectives in set missions.
Unfortunately, I've only ever completed the first mission, and don't intend on completing the others any time soon!! I completed the first mission as one of two players; and between the two of us it took 1 and a half hours of standing on our feet, moving the direction buttons and swinging widly to hack things down with the wii-mote. I'd like to give an overview of exactly what the plot of completing these missions are, but as mentioned I only got to level 1!..and even now I couldn't tell you exactly what I'd acheived in that mission.
Now I'm a real wii-gamer, in that I love games merely for being interactive (I'm entertained by wii sports for hours upon end), but even this pushed me to my limits of being entertained by a 'swing your remote gimmick'.

Summary: Not recommended
