Okay, I have heard lots about how awesome the tornado launcher is (including from myself ), and also lots about how it is not worth it, too hard to control, etc etc. So discuss your thoughts on the tornado launcher (and its upgrade) here!

i think is one of the best weapons, however sometimes when i use it it just fires backwards of the screen, i have no idea why...

it does that to me sometimes, it happens when you are tilting the SIXAXIS either too far forwards (which makes it think it is tilting backwards for some reason...) or tilting it back (which obviously makes it go backwards anyway).

Still, excellent concept, very good design and great power, plus it looks very cool IMO

I just use it for taking out crowds of small-medium enemies. I think it's cool the way they implemented the SIXAXIS into it.

I think they could have made it a bit easier to control, but I guess that's an occupational hazard of using the SIXAXIS...

IMO, it looks VERY cool - especially when it has lots of bolts and debris swirling in it! Plus, it is pretty powerfula nd the area of effect around the tornado is surprisingly large - about the size of the fusion grenade's explosion! It it especially useful on Sargasso, both against the huge swarms of tiny snail-like creatures, and against Grunthors; by holding the tornado under them you can kill them after just about one tornado (or almost kill them) when fully upgraded, because it is so powerful!

I never used it when I played the game. It would never work properly, no matter how hard I tried to steer it. Sometimes it would work properly, but VERY rarely. So, I don't think I really ever upgraded it much.

Love the Tornado Launcher, a lot of people give up early because they can't control it, but it becomes one of the most powerful weapons later on. Great for attacking from a distance.

I'm a bit 50-50 for the Tempest Launcher. It's great, but you try controlling the damn thing, while trying not to get shot/slashed etc. I'd rather use the Doom Blades or Alpha Cannon for attacking from a distance.

I started up a new game yesterday, out of boredom, and found it damn near impossible to control, and useless when i could control it.
I always fully upgrade all my weapons, but ill do this and a few others last...

I liked to use it. Wasn't that hard to control and was one of the most powerful. Actually it was one of my most fave weapons to use.

I didn't really like the r.y.n.o 4 much though. It wastes ammo too much really

if you tilt the sixaxis too much it goes the wrong direction - try tilting it only slightly
