Fun? Not when you're vigorously simulating this violence by shaking the Wii's wireless wand. Working up a sweat trying to crush a windpipe, I found myself having a Michael Corleone-esque What have a become? moment. If that's the point, then it's redundant. I saw the movie, kids. Sooooo much better. F


Uhh... I haven't played it, but the non-Wii version was great. WTF? lol



I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey! tongue lol
