 * : The pointer function of the Wii remote is used for aiming; if it is pointed towards the edge or the screen, you look up or down, or turn left or right. The speed at which you turn, and how far towards the edge of the screen you have to move the pointer to start turning is decided by the "Aiming sensitivity" option, which can either be changed in the in-game pause menu, or in the main menu options.
 * : Focus on an enemy to lock on.
 * : Fire the current weapon (hold down for continuous fire).
 * : Pause the game.
 * : In multi-player mode, activate bonus.
 * : Get out a grenade (throw it by either flicking in an overarm throwing motion, or press  to throw a grenade. Move  up in an under arm throwing motion to roll a grenade along the floor)
 * : Reload
 * : Switch gun. Note, you can only carry two guns at a time.
 * : Move.
 * : Crouch.

 * Flicking can be used to do many actions, depending on the circumstances;
 * While next to an enemy or obstacle: Hit it/them with your sword, this destroys some obstacles and kills any enemy (In multi-player it only stuns an enemy)
