Gameplay
In Disaster, players control Raymond "Ray" Bryce from a third-person point of view during cinematic adventure sections, taking on puzzles and navigating hazards that can hurt or kill him. In these sections, several quick time events and minigames are based around the motion controls of the Remote and Nunchuk. For example, the player can perform actions such as pressing buttons in rhythm to perform CPR, moving heavy objects and running from flood waters and lava flows by quickly moving the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and driving a car by holding the Wii Remote on its side and tilting it left or right. The player also encounters a mysterious man with a fedora and cane who offers unique shooting range tickets.
Disaster's core combat is primarily played out as a rail shooter, utilizing the Wii Remote's pointer function to target enemies. The player can hold up to three weapons of their choice, along with one mandatory pistol with unlimited ammo cache; they can swap freely between weapons using the Direction Pad. Shooting Range tickets can also grant unique weapons to Raymond if their challenge criteria are met.
