The Video Game Critic

I just rented the game and I have a problem on the first level.   When I go through a door, a Nazi sneak attack melees me in a scripted event.   The screen says to point the nunchuk and wiimote at each and swing back and forth alternating in a punching motion.   I've tried this.   I even stood up and swung as fast as I could and it didn't work.  Is there something I'm doing wrong?   Please Help.

I'm not entirely sure which part you are at, or what's bothering you, but I remember those parts and I didn't have any problems. If you're where it sounds like you are just point the nunchuck and Wii remote at each other (hold the Wii remote in one hand the way you would for an NES game or Excite Truck with two), and push forward one arm after the other rhythmically. If you do them both at the same time, or don't have them turned correctly it won't work.

okay, dumb question as I haven't played the game but I have noticed some games allow you to select left handed vs right handed play.  If you have to point the controllers at each other and are using them in your left hand, they'll be opposite of what the system's expecting if you're not playing "right handed".

I'm left handed and have pretty much learned to use the wiimote in my right hand for zelda/raving rabbids and in my left for wii sports. 

okay, i got nothing else.

Sorry, but I can't really help you then. Unless ActRaiser is right, and you need to switch hands, I can't think of what is going wrong. I'd keep experimenting and see if you can get it, because I did it pretty easily. If you can't get it to work either give up on it (if it's a rental) or see if someone else can do it. If no one else can do it you may want to look in on seeing if the game or one of your controllers is defective.

One other thought, yes, I had two today, sit closer to your tv.  In Raving Rabbids I've got to sit about 6 inches closer for the thing to register the remote properly while in Zelda i can lounge back on the couch without a problem.  It's funny as with Zelda there's a lot more going on but with Raving Rabbids you get that error message saying to sit closer. 

If you figure it out be sure to fill us in so we can avoid the same frustrations.  Good luck!

Yeah, I figured out my problem.  I hat to tilt my controller to towards the screen while doing it.   Its stupid, this part shouldn't have been in the game.  I wasted alotta time on it.
