Summary

  • In his recent review of Nintendo’s Drag x Drive, freelancer Andrew Cunningham recounts how using two mice simultaneously radically alters the nature of gameplay, such as in this case where it enables a fresh and intense experience of playing wheelchair basketball.
  • He says that the two mice are used basically as substitutes for the two joysticks on either side of a standard controller, used in this case for forward-backward movement and for steering, with the individual mice generally being used for sweeping movements rather than the small, precise movements one might expect.
  • He concludes that using two mice simultaneously makes for a “fresh control scheme” that takes a bit of practice to master but that ultimately enables a “high-impact, full-contact, precision positional gameplay” experience.
