I think you need to reread the thread more thoroughly, honestly. It's hard to call the reviewer professional when he starts the review off by lamenting that Nintendo should've made an HD console instead. It's also hard to take him seriously when he contradicts himself on several accounts -- Such as the controls sucking, only to turn around and point out that the controls are fully customizable and he was "perfectly happy" with the default controls. |
First, he said that the Wii's hardware shortcomings are essentially a handicap. This is one of those "water is wet" obvious type of things that is usually taken for granted. Fun fact, Wii fanboys are just hyper sensitive to the fact that the Wii is underpowered compared to its competitors and thus react more strongly to mentions of it (much like Sony fanboys and multiplat quality).
Second, he specifically complains about motion controls for throwing grenades and melee combat. Based on his description, those do sound pretty bad. I'm not fond of the idea of even shaking the Wiimote in an FPS game because that throws off aim. I can see how having to do gestures in a game that uses the IR pointer for aiming can quite easily become problematic.
