After my first one was lost in the post I ordered a second one which arrived today. Here's a quick first impressions after going through the tutorial and having my first two fights.
The vast majority of the reviewers are just plain wrong. There is absolutely noting wrong with the controls at all, in fact this is the best demonstration of what the Move motion control solution is capable of. True 1:1 motion recognition with absolutely no lag at all. If you're missing punches it's all down to you not having decent depth perception or throwing punches like you're playing Wii Sports Boxing. If you're connecting punches but they're not doing enough damage then, again, the problem isn't with the game...the problem is with you not throwing punches properly, or not throwing punches accurately enough. You need to punch the same way you would in real life. You need to give it a fair bit of welly.
I've just won my first two fights and on my second fight I managed a 70% accuracy and whilst fighting my uppercuts are missing a great deal of the time. Strangely enough my left hook appears to be pretty mean which has surprised me as little. Time to go to the gym and do a bit of sparring I think lol.
I'm going to play it for a few more days and give you all a mini-review, but those of you that're on the fence whether to buy it or not I'd say GO FOR IT!!! It's a great deal of fun so far, but a bit knackering lol
