This was, as my title suggests, a really good idea.
The problem is that it was clearly rushed as evidenced by the graphics, layout, controlls and overall design.
The story is actually quite good, it can pull you in and the level design and structure supports the story nicely, the characters are interesting and even funny.
The ideas in the game such as the variety of guns, the need for accuracy and the encouraging of patience and accuracy through use of sniper sights, slo-mo action effects etc are good; and it can be very satisfying to hit enemies from far away or run right up to them with a powerful shortrange gun and frag them, or toss a grenade down a hole etc (although make no mistake, this is no Goldeneye, so don't expect to shoot them in the arm and see blood in the arm and the enemy clutching at his arm etc).

The idea of sword fighting with the Wii-mote is great, and nobody has really replicated this. The option to do short movements or long movements, the different sword strokes and combinations of moves - great idea.
The problems with this game are of course control glitches leading to it being quite difficult to execute sword moves at times, explosions killing you even though they are far away, rushed and poor quality graphics, excessively slow loading times, 'invisible' enemies able to shoot round corners, and enemies being able to execute sword moves that you can't, and ugly poorly drawn static cutscenes between levels.
Like I said, a wonderful idea of a game which probably started out wonderful as well, then got rushed out the door by some very short sighted people upstairs. Had the potential to be incredible, and got kicked in the teeth instead.
The people responsible for ordering this game to be rushed out should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
