Publicly on Twitter, the GamePro colleagues said whether he was right or wrong, they defended his opinion, and then they made fanboy jokes with other staffers and the reviewer at 1Up. Privately, well, who knows?
The author did use the forums to respond to all the hate on the reviews comments and forums. He said multiplayer was not available to him, and seemed defensive, in both an arrogant and a paranoid kind of way:

IGN is an online only entity and gets builds later. I get builds earlier due to print lead times. If they changed something, great. But again, I can only review the game I am sent.You are also ignoring the basic fact: they could change the buttons all they want, the game is still mediocre. But here's the catch: it's mediocre ACCORDING TO MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION.Get off your high horse dude. I didn't like the game. This changes nothing. The universe will continue to exist. The Earth will continue to spin on its axis. When did I become so important that my opinion is enough to cause you to lose your mind? Geezus christ. If you disagree, awesome. But unless you were sitting next to me the entire time I was playing and you have actual proof that I only played for five minutes, turned it off and went back to eating Cheetos, you need to calm down. You act like I stole your Cloudsong or something.
