I'm not at Leipzig, but if I was, I would totally be playing this game. Failing that, you'll have to deal with a guy from GameSpot doing it instead. I know, I know - you're very disappointed. But hey, at least now we get info on Overkill's controls and new features!

The story centers on Agent G's first mission out of college. He's joined by a new character called Detective Washington, and the entire story will be playable in single-player or co-op. While it's still an on-rails shooter, the big new change comes in the way that you can control the camera angle. By moving the target reticle to the edges of the screen, you can move the camera another 30 degrees.

... You use the Wii Remote to aim at the screen, with the trigger used for firing and a quick shake for reload. You can obviously also use the Wii Zapper, but with 1 and 2 used for weapons, as well as + and - for special items, it could become a little convoluted. You'll be able to carry two weapons in Overkill, and in the demo we saw, both a machine gun and a magnum were featured.

is this game gonna be "on rails" ? or can you control your characters movements?

on rails like all the other HOTD games, but they have increased your view by 30 degrees. SO you can at least look around to the left or right more using the wiimotes now.

I love these games.
