Motion-sensing technology doesn't always work out too good - I tried to play Mario Kart Wii once and even WITH the steering wheel attachment I couldn't control it one bit.

Something like this might make a great addon control, though - an FPS could let you raise your hands in surrender(Surrender Force Five, now on sale in France).
