Wrong. 
There are two calibration process. An initial one which is long, and a quick one you do before each match. Which is even quicker than the Sports Champions one. Only 2 steps instead of 3.

You'd think that blocking would be as simple as holding your dukes up towards your face. Unfortunately, you also have to hold the O button on your PS Move.

 

Wrong. 
Circle button is for re-centering your arms to chest level in the case tracking goes ga-ga (kinda like re-centering the cursor in a shooter). If they have been pushing O for blocking they have been doing it wrong all the time, fucking up the tracking by themselves.

I always knew it was going to suck, but a reviewer on Neogaf has pointed out that the IGN review is actually plat out wrong about a few things. I posted a couple of his points. I'm not really into this whole motion control business (besides light gun games), but IGN and their sister site Gamespy, both seem to be extremely down on the Move. They make fun of it on their podcasts and then they make huge mistakes when reviewing a few games like Tumble. It might just be me, but the dudebro attitude of the site has been growing over the last year and I'm not liking it. They can give whatever score they want, but they should at least get their info right and come into the review without some predetermined dislike.

Yup, same goes for the Video Gamer review too. The iWaggle fellah's review was much more in-depth and informative, as is the review by The Sixth Axis. On the strength of IWaggle's video and The Sixth Axis' review I'm now going to buy the game.

I seem to remember a while back that a publisher or developer asked one of the big gaming sites to review a game again as they got so many things wrong. Am I imagining that or did it really happen..? I can't remember what it was now for the life of me. :o/

so it WAS a case of IGNorance
