You must have seen a completely different IGN Video Review to me mate. There was around a half second's worth of lag to the game, which for me personally is a dealbreaker in a fast paced racing game. I had hoped that Microsoft would sort out the atrocious lag issues we've seen in various video demonstrations from various shows and conferences earlier this year, particularly since Sony managed to solve the same problem with Move before release. I can't see the point in having a motion control solution that interprets and replicates your motions 1:1 if there's a lag before your on-screen avatar moves. I'm really surprised that it wasn't mentioned in the review tbh.
Looks like I'll be relying on my PS3 and Wii to handle all my motion controlled gaming and will have to use my 360 as a more traditional console. :(
