In no way, shape, or form. BTW, I got my first experience playing Wii today and it was amazing. I hate racing games and I loved this game. Basically it uses only the Wiimote and you hold it parallel to the TV. The game knows to change the up and down arrows to left and right respectively based on the game you are playing and the wiimote’s orientation to the sensor bar. Which brings up another good point, you can decrease sensitivity so you don’t even have to point at the tv, just the general direction of it. Also, the wiimote’s position when you turn the system on has nothing to do with how it reacts. Remember when you tried to play melee and accidentally were pushing a dirrection when you turned on the ol’ melee machine and it set the default direction? Well when the guy turned it on he was dangling it from the wristband with his finger and it performed fine. Anyway the game, you press “1″ for brake and “2″ for gas, and to steer, you rotate it on the X axis. Also, if you tip it on the Z axis(towards or away from you) while in midair, the car tips fowards or backwards. This is important because landing flat gives you a turbo boost. Also, the screen moves and shakes when you land or turn, which makes it feel like you are actually driving. Remember playing GT 3?(gran turismo) The screen stays behind you so when you skid you correct quickly. With this game, the screen slipped back and forth, making it hard for you to regain control. It was very realistic as far as simulation and physics, and I was genuinly impressed.
