It's funny, I have been playing the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and the motion controls, combined with the free aim lock on, actually makes the game more challenging in a fun way.
In the original Metroid Prime, when you locked on you instantly aimed center mass.
In the Wii Metroid Prime (with free aim lock on enabled), you lock on, and you have to aim at them. Not only does this make the game more challenging, but it allows you to shoot at targets you are not currently locked on. This is especially beneficial against that big rock guy who throws boulders at you. You can remain locked onto the boss and shoot the boulders.
I guess this doesn't pertain to the topic too well, except to mention a game that was made better by IR controls.
