I'm not sure I would have called the controls in KZ2 laggy.
There was a learning curve to the controls that I thought added a layer of unneccesary complexity to this game, without adding any real value. That being said, by the time you get 1/4 of the way through or so, you've adjusted and just play. There were only a VERY few instances where I felt like the controls hampered the gameplay.
That being said, it doesn't sound like MORE fluidity will ruin the game though.
