Saint’s RowdeveloperVolition has statedthat one of the reasons we will likely never see aSaint’s Rowgame on the Wii is because the addition of motion controls would make it far too controversial. “With games like ours you get much more controversy when you add motion controls like you saw withManhunt 2,” stated producer Dan Sutton. “We have weapons like chainsaws, satchel charges, stuff like that. I can definitely see people having a problem and outcry towards that because it does actually feel like you’re using weapons that way....

It’s a downright creepy area with offputting music, harsh visual themes as far as the eye can see, and an overwhelming sense that you really shouldn’t hang around for very long. It’s like an asbestos-filled haunted house....
