    so how do you play iton the wii cause you dont have a controler like you do on the 360


    The wii does have a controller, same as every other comp, it has the buttons, you dont simulate the shooting etc wich is what i think you were hinting at:o we play mario bros on the wii the same way we would play it on the 360

    The control system is quite good, you use the wiimote to aim and fire your weapons and the nunchuck for movement, it is a good game, but totally not suitable for kids.
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.

    i would never buy this or any similar games like it for my children the age is on there for a reason very bad violence and language etc, my kids could ask till they are blue in the face and they still wouldnt get it, or will i allow them to play it at others houses. there is enough violence without these games adding to it

    I'm not sure about an 8 yo having it. My brother is 14 and i still think he shouldn't have 18 rated games though my mother seems to ignore this, that said he's a lovely lad and is no trouble (nor has he changed into some gun toting maniac!)

    I wouldn't let my kids play it, but not because I think it's unsuitable, I just think it's a bad game. There are much more fun games out there.

    Really?

    You aren't sure about an 8 yr old having a known violent game with an age restriction of 18?

    Wow......
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.
