Ok, I've fired this up. You can either use a button on the remote to walk, or when you press button 1, you can then choose the top option to sync up the balance board. Leave it for a bit and then when the message changes, jump on.
I highly recommend trying the board. Why? Well, it's a 1st person walking-around-crapping-yourself-in-the-dark game. You point your torch in the direction you want to go and if you see something scary, you run away. With your feet.
You start off in a modern room with 3 other young people, one of them playing on a DS. Next moment you are in a spooky house with blood everywhere and ghost sticking their hands through walls. And for a moment there, with all the lights off in the house and the surround sound doing its thing, I was really walking around holding a torch in my hand and I was pretty damn scared. I have no idea how long that feeling will last, but I was fully creeped out.
And then something looked at me and I turned around and ran as fast as my balance board mounted feet would take me What a girl.
I think running away is going to feature a fair amount. I also get the feeling it's more of an adventure than an action game, so missing out on the plot is going to be significant. So far just soaking up the (blood-soaked) atmosphere.
I'm uploading a video of the first few minutes in the spooky house. I'll post the link when it's on the youtube.
