How to Fix GoldenEye 007's Default Controls



Coffee Beans:
     While GoldenEye 007 on the Wii is a very solid FPS game, I think one area that was overlooked by Eurocom was the default control setting.  A default control setting should work well without players having to go into control options to adjust anything unless they want to adjust something, but I found GoldenEye 007's default Wii Remote and Nunchuk control setting to have an issue that needed to be fixed.
     When I noticed the control issue, it was very apparent, and that this issue somehow slipped by the play-testers is baffling to me, unless perhaps Eurocom didn't play-test the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls, and other control settings, past the first level in the game(or perhaps I'm the only one to experience this?).

     What was the control issue I had with GoldenEye 007's default control setting?  Watch the video below to see the issue, and how I resolved it:

     Also, to see GoldenEye's default controls, and my current customized control settings, take the jump past the break below to view an image of them both!

Filtered Thoughts:
     As I mentioned in the video, the two main control settings I adjusted to help solve the Wii Remote IR error when looking up/down in the game were the "Vertical Sensitivity" bar and the "Dead Zone" box.

     Some of you might be wondering, "Coffee, why did you choose the 'Khan' button layout as your main control setup?"  The main reason I picked it is because it was one of the only ones that had the "Shake Nunchuk to Reload" option as a gesture, instead of it being a button press.
     Ever since I played Red Steel, and then Call of Duty: World at War for several hundred hours, I really like the shaking of the Nunchuk to reload weapons in Wii FPS games.  If you haven't tried the "Shake Nunchuk to Reload" control option in Wii FPS games, I suggest at least giving it a try and seeing it if grows on you.
     If any of you have any questions about my control setup, feel free to leave a comment on this post, or send me an email to Scott@CoffeeWithGames.com.  Also, if you are still playing GoldenEye 007 online, please add my friend code which is 2043-7355-3797, username Coffee.

Questions:
     Did any of you experience this same issue with the default controls with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in GoldenEye 007, or did you just play through the game with the default controls?  
     If you did make changes, have any of the control setting adjustments worked out really well for you that you would recommend other GoldenEye owners try out?
