It works like a charm with no delay and a natural feeling that this is how the game should have always controlled. Hold down A and the world freezes, turn your wrist and it rotates. In the default set-up (there are three other styles that are more cumbersome) the player controls the paper man with the Nunchuck and rotates the world with the Wii Remote. Now I know what intuitive controls are thanks to And Yet It Moves. We’ve all heard the PR people tossing around the words “intuitive controls” whenever they describe a game on the Wii and why the Wii Remote is so awesome, but it always seemed so meaningless to me.

Control better than the PC could ever offer. What does the Wii bring to the table, other than the aforementioned extra levels? Control. I still haven’t completed all of them, and I’m glad because it gives me a great game to fall back on over and over.īut you could have learned all this from the PC version of the game as well. These include Time Trial, Limited Rotation, Speed Run, and Survival - they can be brutal. No, the real long-term value of And Yet It Moves comes from the unlockable modes you get once you beat a level. And because of a frequent checkpoint system you never have to go back very far whenever you do destroy your little paper man.

There are challenges to be had, but you’ll never find yourself stuck for too long at any one point. This being said, the main run through the game, which features 16 levels and four bonus levels (some brand new on the Wii), isn’t that hard. It’s a great example of how simple game controls and amazing level design can come together to make something more than the sum of its parts. This creates a game that surprises you every level despite the fact that you aren’t learning any new abilities or gaining any new moves. By the end of the game you find that you’ve simply done the same thing over and over, but And Yet It Moves uses the world turning mechanic in a different way on every level. In many games of this ilk - which feature a core mechanic that is the star of the show - you simply get level after level that tosses the same challenge at you with increased difficulty. This mechanic makes for some of the most creative and innovative level designs around and even more impressively never gets old as the game never tires out a puzzle style or creative mechanic.
