Doctor Who: Sonic Screwdriver Wii Remote

This remote is awesome! it works perfectly with all my current Wii games and no need to buy replacement batteries. It comes with a small lead that means i can charge it directly off of my Wii console.

The quality and the finish of the product is fantastic and for a Dr Who fan like me its a dream come true! Highly recommended!

Got this as a present, an apologetic one after the Dr Who game reviews came out, but there was no need to be, the Wii game may be terrible but this is a superb controller.

It's light and shaped well for pointer based games (I've been using it on Goldeneye and it feels great). Compared to the standard controller the D-pad seems larger and easier to hit.
The A button is a little lower than on the standard remote, however but still easy to reach.

The B button is incredibly responsive, again great for shooters. The plus and minus buttons are a little small and fiddly however.

Build quality is high and it charges directly for a USB cable, so unlike your standard remotes you don't have to buy batteries or a charging kit. The speaker also seems to be of slightly higher quality.

Plus it looks cool :) Avoid the game it was designed for but this is a superb choice so long as you're not wanting to use the motion plus (it can be inserted, but not clipped on so it could be knocked out, and looks a little weird).

needed a new wii remote for my daughter , and as she is a massive dr who fan ummed and arred bout this one as was worried what would be like .
all can say is looks brilliant a nice size and such a bargain at under 10 quid.
also which is a bonus is packagings brilliant so makes item look cool even before you unwrap. packaged with it also is a grey strap and also a usb cable to recharge the built in battery.
cant tell u how long battery lastes etc what item works like etc etc as putting away for xmas.
but to anyone who looking for a wii remote and likes dr who you cant go wrong with this remote , in my view well grt value for money.

I bought this for someone as a gift and they love it (and so does everyone else), now refusing to use any other wii remote! As soon as I saw it I thought it was a brilliant idea and a must have for such a big Doctor Who fan. I must admit I wanted to keep it for myself once I saw it. I wouldn`t spend more than 10-15 pounds for one for myself, though I think it`s good for a gift. Having said that 27.99 (plus free delivery) is the cheapest I`ve seen it.
It comes in a rounded box which looks nice especially if you are giving it as a gift. It`s easy to use and hold which had been a worry of mine. Also, as others mentioned, it comes with a lead that plugs into the wii console to charge it up so there`s no need to fuss about with batteries.
For any one who isn`t sure (like I wasn`t as it`s not shown in the picture), it does come with a grey wrist strap in the bottom of the box for you to attach on to the remote.
It`s great for kids (and big kids) who like Doctor Who and they can play along with the game as the Doctor a little more realistically (especially for big kids who can`t really run around with the toy sonic screwdriver - this one has a purpose for any age). I haven`t played the game but I have heard it`s not the best but I wouldn`t let that put you off since this does work like a regular remote so you can use it with any other wii games.
Best wii remote I`ve seen, just like the sonic screwdriver and in shape too (it`s rounded just like the sonic, not the more square shape of a wii remote, which makes it easier to hold).
I would recommend it to any Doctor Who fans, even if they don`t own the Doctor Who game. They will be amazed to receive it if they didn`t know this remote existed and other people will say how cool it is when they see you have one of these!

This remote charges from your wii's usb so requires no batteries...
but the best thing about it is the shape and weight. its comfortable to hold and grip and its very light which both combine make it a pleasure to use. As a functional control is excellent, its speaker can be tinny at times but that can be forgiven.
Whats more its a sonic screwdriver which for Who fans is excellent, i've often thought of getting a replica screwdriver but as they would just sit gathering dust haven't... this one however i can put to use!
