What I do hate are reviewers that pretend to be (ex) Sonic fans, pretending to know what a Sonic game ought to be.

I really think they just want a game that plays well and is fun.

But that doesn't mean they should give an unfairly low score. What's that, tough love?

Reviewers should review the game as it is, not what they think it ought to be (because if so, then you'll only concentrate on what the game is "missing" and not on what the game has). Blind nostalgia is an unreachable standard.

I agree that nostalgia is an issue with any and all franchises.

However, I think most of the problems lied with the bad motion controls. From the review at least. I haven't played it.

The reviews seem to complain simply about having to use motion controls, not whether they are reliable or responsive.

To be fair, he was complaining that the swordplay is nothing more than a basic motion control. He said that it doesn't even register horizontal & verticle swipes, it's just basic wiimote movement.

(I refuse to say the term waggle, it's .....as Matt would put it, retarded.)

lol. That's hilarious!
