This whole bashing of the controls in reviews is quite ridiculous. I own the game and I've got no problem whatsoever with the controls or the camera once I had customized everything in the options (movement speed etc.), but it seems that some reviewers don't bother trying to adapt as soon as they're in front of a somewhat unusual control scheme.

I also find it funny how most reviews only have like 1 paragraph about multiplayer gameplay while you're going to spend probably as much time (if not more) playing 3 vs 3 and free-for-all parties online (provided you can access Nintendo Network), and KIU's online mode is awesome. The lobby system is handy, private rooms have a lot of custom parameters, it's almost server lag-free, there's no slowdown even in 3D and it's pretty addictive.

Have you played Metroid Prime Hunters? It seems to me that the control scheme will be similar to that (i'm in Japan currently and am unable to buy this game for my American 3DS), wherein the right hand engages aiming and such with the touchpad while the left hand goes for buttons and movement.
