The camera must be bad, although Bozon at IGN didn't get into it, the review is otherwise a glowing endorsement of this game. Only the camera seems to have kept it from getting a 80-90 score.
As for the 1Up review, that was a pathetic review if I ever saw one. He's entitled to his opinion but it said almost nothing about the game. I doubt he even played it for more than a few minutes which is hardly enough time to determine how balance characters that control differently are.
