How to play Die by the sword with your wii-mote
I couldn't help but notice, that one of the most common themes in this forum is the controls of this game. I just stumbled upon this on youtube:

In his discription, you can read how to do it.
I think it's really cool, but because I don't own the game (or a wii for that matter) I haven't been able to try it out.
This is so awesome. I was just googling for this and saw another video and was going to post about it here. I do have a wiimote + wii motion plus and I just got Die By The Sword during the Interplay sale so I definitely plan on trying this at some point. :)

Let us know how it goes. I quite curious.
As a first-hand user of this means of control, I can tell you now, it's great. With some adjustments, it can be even freer for control than the mouse.

And you don't need a sensor bar to get the Wii Remote to work. Just place two lights close to each other and use that as a sensor. I used two flashlights and it worked fine.

The only problem I have is walking, but I'll get used to it.

The video says that the sword is swung horizontally by rotating the remote. Is it possible to follow the motion through horizontal movement of the remote, rather than by rotation, so as to simulate as far as possible the movement of the sword?
Anyone tried this?
I gave up of playing with a mouse, too hard. :(
I'm considering purchasing the wii-mote, sensor, bluetooth dongle, etc.
So... any word?
