The game has more arcade elements then the Big Ant Studios version, but claims to still maintain a fair amount of simulation and options to set the level of this. On screen meters can also be turned on and off.
The game supports 3 controller types; The standard Wii remote, the Wii remote with the Nunchuck and the GameCube Controller.
