Valid complains?
He said the game doesn't use IR pointer well. The game doesn't use it at all!!

That's a case of poor research, but it doesn't change his experienece, is your opinion on a burger you don't like invalid if you don't know the method by which the cooks prepared it?  

I don't think if he knew the game used a different sensing method for aiming that he would have had a different experience trying to use it.  

Before we all get into the "you're just being negative" stuff this is the only point of the debate I am arguing against, I do not care about the rest of the review or defending it, just this point about how if you don't know how a game senses your actions your experience is invalid.

We should anticipate that the reviewer has done a modicum of research into what they are playing. Although if someone has a hard time telling that a certain action is having no effect, we should question their ability to review video games under that aforementioned anticipation
