How sensitive is the Wi Sensor Bar. Do you have to sit or stand directly at it. Or can you be in a lounge room. And have friends sitting on side. And still work on Wii Sensor Bar. Does it help, or is it bad. To be to close, far away. Does this effect gameplay. How sensitive is the bar. Do you just have to do light movements. Does it really matter a sunny room. Does it also effect it in a pitch black room.

the sensor bar is good, you don't have to be directly in front of it and I think the range of sensitivity is about 10m. Friends can be siiting on your side. the movement distance you make depends on the distance you are from the sensor bar, the closer you are the smaller the movements and vice versa. I don't think the light in the room affects it.

All the "Sensor" Bar is 2 IR (infa red) lights, one on each end. They just act as guides for the wii-motes IR camera, so the wii-mote knows were it is pointing. Sunlight can effect it or any other IR source (like candles). All in all it works ok ..but they can make it more powerful and thus increasing its range and accuracy. Ninty probably wont do that tho but some 3rd party's probably will.
