Tennis

Simply swing the Wii Remote to play a match of doubles tennis. You don’t need to press any buttons. Each player needs his own Wii Remote. The team that wins the required number of matches first wins the game.

Holding the Wii Remote (for right-handed players) :

• Hold it as would hold a tennis racket.
• Put your wrist through the Wii Remote strap and fasten it to prevent it from escaping your hand.
• Swing gently.

Serving :

• Swing the Wii Remote up…
• and then down to serve the ball.
• Toss the ball up. You also can toss with the A Button.
• Hit the ball.

Strokes :

• Judge the ball direction and swing accordingly. When the ball comes to your right, swing on the right side. When the ball approaches your left side, swing on the left. You can lob and give the ball a spin depending on how you hit.

Throwing the Smile
In this game, players are forbidden to smile, but trust us–giggling and laughing will abound.
HOW TO PLAY:

1. Players sit in a circle, making sure they can see everyone else. One player who is It starts the game by smiling widely, while all the other players are somber. It then uses his hand to wipe the smile off his face and throw it to another player who has to catch the smile with his hand and put it on.
2. This new It can then wipe off the smile to throw to someone else–though he will probably choose to mug wildly at everyone for a few minutes before relinquishing his happy role. Meanwhile, all other players must sit stone-faced. One smirk and they’re out.

TIPS: The youngest players are the least successful at winning this game (they simply can’t stop themselves from laughing), but they also tend to enjoy it the most.

War is also equipped with a killer oversized gauntlet, and you can crush a zombie’s skull into a splattering mess with the tap of a button. We also saw the giant shuriken-shaped “crossblade,” which you can use to target multiple enemies with, much like Zelda’s boomerang. Another advantage of the crossblade is that you can switch to another weapon, such as your sword, and dish out extra damage at the same time. We also got treated to a brand new weapon not seen before: the “redemption” grenade launcher. You initially prise it from the steaming corpse of an angelic being, but we’re told you also discover a demonic variant later on with different properties (we’ll have to wait to find out what they are). Due to the menacing firepower of such weapons as the grenade launcher, you will only be able to use them in certain areas. The most powerful weapon at War’s disposal, however, seems to be his “chaos form” ability. Transforming into his true form–a terrifying flaming demon beast–allows you to unleash some devastating melee damage in a short limited time period.

Chaos Form

The third and final meter in the screen’s top left corner is the Chaos Meter (not available at the start of a game). The red spiral gradually fills as you use the Chaoseater to fight enemies. The spiral takes the form of a demon and pulses red once the meter is full. This indicates that you can unleash War’s Chaos Form, an incredibly powerful version of War that’s immune to damage and can cut through most any enemy with just one or two slices.

Chaos Form lasts but a few short seconds, and you must use it sparingly. It’s your secret weapon to deal with enemies that might otherwise be too big for you to handle or too numerous to outlast. You move very slowly in Chaos Form, so make sure you are close to your enemies when you trigger it (Wrath Power + Use Gear buttons). Press the Sword Attack button to make your Chaos Form swing its fiery sword in a horizontal slashing motion, or press the Secondary Attack button to swing it in a downward overhand motion.
