I got to play some of the other online modes tonight - seems like more people are picking this up. Golden gun is good fun. The team objective stuff (Black Box and Goldeneye) less so because it's pretty hard to have worthwhile teamwork w/o voice or at least text chat. I didn't get to try Heroes (nobody in the playlist when I tried), though it sounds more interesting. The three locked modes are actually the ones I'm most interested in, License to Kill (basically hardcore) and Classic Conflict (Bond Villains) - I'm only at level 8 though, so some grinding to do yet to get to try those out
I'm doing okay with the pointer controls, but I think I'm going to pick up the classic controller pro tomorrow and give that a shot to see if I like it better. The main thing that bugs me with the Wii remote is that when I die I can't stop myself from unconsciously relaxing the remote - the unfortunate result being that half the time I spawn back the remote has gone off sync & I've sometimes been killed before I've even been able to get a cursor back on the screen.
