Of course, but with Nintendo leading the hardcore charge in 2007 with Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, etc. and 2008 showing that the Wii is not slowing down, it takes brave developers like HVS to continue the charge, that and Sega wanting to make the Wii the hardcore console they know it can be (since they are publishing The Conduit, Madworld, a hopefully better Sonic game than unleashed, and House of the Dead). Fortunately they weren't the first developers to realize this which is why we're getting plenty of exclusive titles such as Tenchu, Fatal Frame, Monster Hunter, etc.

It should because the controls seem really easy, pointing to shoot, one analog to move, flick nunchuk to reload, A button to change weapons.

I don't like the nunchuk to reload control. Here is my controls:

Up on D-pad: Zoom In
Left and right on d-pad: Switch weapons
Down on D-pad: Crouch
A Button: Jump, Sprint, Collect weapons
B Button: Fire (duh)
Plus: Reload
Minus: WiiSpeak (multiplayer)
1 Button: ASE Device
2 Button: Flashlight?? (Free Space)
C Button: Change grenade types??
Z Button: Reload
Flick nunchuk: grenade

The online will be a huge factor.The Wii needs The Conduit to be successful so that other 3rd party developers pay attention.

MK does a good job, but we need a faster way to put in codes. Like emailing codes straight into other people's save files, so we don't have to add it in if we already have their wii code. Once is enough :P

initially A would be better to zoom in or look down the sight of your gun but it could be used as to change gun if thats what the gamer prefers and i agree with everything else you said there should be alot more fps' like this it just makes sence with the wii remote

Well looking down the sight wasn't an option for the first fps games anyways. I'm talking about controls for Casual Gamers. The game seems very easy with the controls I made up. I think that I'd be able to use more buttons myself.

the one move i really hope is in the game is the ability to dodge left or right.A fast sidestep would benefit online play so much.I mean not just strafe but really a sidejump if you will.

10 - yes.. dead serious.
how can i be serious when all they show me is a few short snippets of video.

They have a lot of talk, a lot of huge claims. i don't know if i can believe the hype.

every company thinks their game is amazing, if its so amazing then show it off.

here go to ign.com and look up all the videos of this game.They do show it off videos include entire first level gameplay(in alpha form),different weapons,tech videos showing field of depth,motion blur, heat distortion and water reflection(features rumored to not be capable on the wii).There is literally well over a dozen videos.
