More Harry Potter Wii information

IGN have a new feature on the Wii edition of the Order of the Phoenix video game.

Quote:

The Wii-specific controls for the game seem remarkably well put together. Once Harry's wand is drawn, the Wiimote can be used to directly control the spells you cast. Everything is handled through accelerometers; there is no pointing in the game whatsoever. Any of the game's spells can be cast quickly and easily, merely by a flick of the wrist. Thrust the Wiimote forward, and Harry will propel an object away from himself. Motion upward with both the Wiimote and nunchuk, and Harry will cause an object to levitate in the air.

Once you have an object floating, you can move the Wiimote around in 3D space to reposition it. This actually worked better than we had assumed it would, although it is not yet perfect. There are puzzles that require placing objects in specific places, which is somewhat irritating because of the inaccuracies involved in the motion controls. Despite this, it was a lot of fun to wave the Wiimote in the air and see Harry react in turn. Hopefully the spell system sees some refinement before the game's release because they were already enjoyable, even at this early state.

The game will be available in June, prior to the release of the film.

Yeah it does sound cool...one thing though, hopefully people don't get too into the motions...some people have been known to thrust the Wii remote through their ceiling, TV, Window, and really everywhere thinkable!

As long as the people correctly adjust their wiimote wrist strap and actually hold on to it, there's really nothing to worry about (altough i did get thwacked in the arm when i was playing wii tennis against my bro...so just make sure you're not in whacking distance to anyone)

Anyway, can i just say that the Wii is awesome & the HP game looks fab!
