HarpingOn

Last chapter of Episode 3.

Platforming hell with a 3D system that conveys no depth at all, and a camera
that doesn't work.

Pretty impossible, if you ask me!

The only way we could do it was have the bairn drop out, and re-join later
after all the platformy-watformy bits.

My daughter and I did exactly this this morning. On the whole, though, getting
a lot of dad:daughter time for 15 quid so I can't complain

Far too much jumping co-ordination required in a lot of areas. Not helped, I
fear, by the split controls of the Wii. He ends up doing directions with the
D-pad, and jumping with A. Which kind of works, but is imprecise. Of course,
the blasted nunchuck is still required for the C and Z buttons, which he uses
a lot. Bah.

I wonder if it'd be easier with a Sixaxis or Controller-S (whatever it's
called) but I sure as hell aint starting again, with three whole episodes,
plus another 5 chapters completed!
