Plot
The game loosely follows Season 4 of the original series. After finishing the Skidbladnir in Carthage, the Lyoko Warriors set off to explore the Digital Sea. They discover numerous Replikas, in which they first use Code: Chimera to destroy them. After discovering that the Replikas are connected to supercomputers on Earth, Jeremie creates a process where the gang can transform into specters on Earth and keep their powers. This is later on used to destroy the five supercomputers. At the end of the game, Aelita and Odd destroy the Volcano Replika's supercomputer and rescue William from XANA's clutches.
Gameplay
The characters are controlled through various motions with the Wii Remote: slashing controls Ulrich's sword, aiming Odd's arrows by pointing with the Wii Remote, Yumi's balance on narrow walkways is maintained by tilting the controller, and both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk are used in conjunction to make Aelita fly. The game features locations not seen in the show, including the volcano sector. Unlike the previous game, the player is able to change characters whenever desired.
