The only drawback is that sometimes the motion controls can be kind of unresponsive, which is less a factor of game design and more about the limitations of the Wii before they "fixed" the Wii Remote with Motion+. Buy this game!

In another level, you might have to protect your pirate ship from an attacking sea creature. These are your goals. Getting to these goals is what constitutes the "puzzle" aspect of the game. It's hard to give proper examples of these puzzles without ruining the game for those who haven't played it, ...
