Well, the IGN review was telling: you can push buttons much faster and more easily than you can shift weight and throw punches. And video games are designed with that in mind. Even though the balance board and the wiimote are pretty good for punch out, there will still be times when they punch even though you don't want them to or when they punch a little late.
My approach is that I will generally play the game with the controller sideways, but once I've gone through it, I might play using the balance board and motion for fun. Or when I have friends over and we've had a few drinks we might do that and laugh at each other.
It's a pretty sweet bonus.
