The 'Press 1 and shake' to grab thing annoys me too. It doesn't seem natural. Shaking for the propeller hat, sure, I enjoy that. Shaking to move your bubble, sure. Tilt for platforms, okay.
Just played it last night with friends for the first time. Lots of laughs although they felt $60 (Cdn) was too much to pay for it, and I agree but I'm loving it all the same. I felt that same way with Street Fighter IV (too little development cost to justify price tag)
