IGN claims the waggle is pointless and detracts from the game but they gave Onechanbara which is a complete wagglefest where you could almost go through the entire game with your eyes closed just waggling like an epileptic monkey a 6.9.

Why? Because you can do vertical strokes in Onechanbara?? Like it makes a difference...

I'm finding IGN has started given anything remotely 'core' an overly high score - they are amongst the most generous for Tenchu, Deadly Creatures, Onechanbara but overly (and often stupidly) critical of more 'casual' titles.

*looks below your post*

I don't think IGN was alone.

I'm not saying the complaint isn't valid - by why is it only valid here and not on Onechanbara? 

Nor am I suggest SaTBK is a great game, I havn't played it but I'm sure it's better than a 3.9.   I'm sure the production values are way above Onechanbara's too yet that gets a 6.9 and Sonic a 3.9??  Please.

Nor is this the only review where their bias is showing.  If you look at their We Ski and Snowboard review you'll see it's really shallow to downright stupid and all the commentors take them to task for it.  Which is saying something when the game is We Ski...
