Battling a Giant: Rage of the Gladiator's Tagon

Video:  Battle against Tagon, from the WiiWare title, Rage of the Gladiator.

The Video Brew:

In this video though, I battled Tagon using the game's "Vertical" controls.

Several reviewers said the motion controls in Rage of the Gladiator functioned, but were not accurate enough for them.  I am playing through Rage of the Gladiator, using the game's "Vertical" control option to see how well they function.

Rage of the Gladiator's vertical controls consist of using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck.

I was able to attain a "Rank: S", battling against Tagon while using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.

(Tagon still wants mead, I think he should stick to coffee though!)

So far, the controls using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk seem to be functioning well.

I plan on trying to achieve a "Rank: S" in each fight, using Rage of the Gladiator's "Vertical" controls.

If attaining a "Rank: S" with the motion controls is possible in each fight, I would think that means the reviewers did not take the time to learn the motion controls, before passing judgement on them.
