Game mechanics here work extremely well, and you'll have several options for control. You'll have your choice of GameCube and Classic Controller play, and these give the game a more precise and classic feel. However, you can use the Wii-mote and Nunchuk just fine, and these make a little more sense for more casual players who are more accustomed to the Wii-mote feel. Either way you control it, the mechanics are basically the same.

Graphics remain largely the same as last year with no real visible improvements.
Control
Controls work very well no matter which of the four different control schemes you decide to use.
