Line Rider 2: Unbound Wii Vid
Posted by Brian Crecente at 8:00 AM on June 11, 2008
We love Line Rider on the PC, and the Wii version looks pretty groovy too. I just don't know if I'm down with all of that art work and such, I'm sure someone will be, just not me. Here's hoping the next video will actually show how the Wii remote is used, like with the action happening as someone uses it. I'm intrigued.

@Benzak: They say Wii and it was in the Wii folder on the asset FTP, but I'm double checking with them.

This is a good title to bring to WiiWare. Eh, the original one is still the best. Why overcomplicate such a simple, yet beautiful thing as linerider?

The kid who invented the original must be rolling in it now. You guys need to contact him and interview him.

Ah, never underestimate the appeal of simple lines and physics and the extent people will go to mold it into their visions.

@Brian Crecente: Haha, I guess my little joke was too subtle. I should have written it "Wii-ndows."
I meant to imply that the two games will be fairly interchangeable as far as looks and features go so it doesn't really matter how the video is labeled.
Personally I never liked playing any Linerider since it always seemed way too difficult, even with a graphics tablet, to create surfaces that wouldn't jostle that smug sled-riding bastard to oblivion. At least not without doing that weird graph paper curve thing with all the straight lines.

I hate the rider's voice. And I mean HATE.

I can imagine it now... YOu're being very careful drawing your line with the wiimote, and BAM, the "sensor bar" isn't picked up by the wiimote and your line is jerked around, making it impossible to play. Ok, ok, so I'm sure there's undo functions, but still... Every time I've ever tried to use the pointing functions on the wii, it's always bugged out on me.

@Sooku:
Totally. They should get the guy who does Marcus Fenix to do The Rider. His little scarf screams out "bad ass" to me.
Beware The Rider. He kills quickly, and then slides into the night.

Whatever happened to the Wii version they were developing. Also, weren't they developing a version for the DS?

Jesus' Balls, that level must have taken ages to make. And it doesn't even look that fun/awesome/interesting...

I liked the original line rider. This one just lost the charm it once had. :(

That's looks great and all but who are they kidding? I'm just going to draw some squiggles, crash my rider, and call it a day.
