Ars Technica: The Ugly: Motion controls make quick responses impossible during combat and, thankfully, can be disabled entirely. |
This is why I don't bother with game reviews any more. First of all the statement is just objectively wrong. Motion controls make quick responses and accuracy more possible than dual analog alone, and anyone that's spent more than 30 minutes using them will agree. Second, the reviewer is docking points from the game for his inability to play it well. That's just stupid. That's like reviewing a bow and arrow set and giving it a bad score because you suck at using a bow and arrow and are better at using a gun. And finally, as was stated in the same review, they can be disabled entirely, so shouldn't that pro for the game? Player options and all that.
I'm also tired of reviewers docking points from a game because it didn't ship with the content/features they think it should have. That's like giving a movie a bad score because you thought it should have been 2 hours longer, or there should have been more characters. How about you just review the game as it is? Is it fun? Engaging? Responsive? Bug free?
I'm surprised by how few reviews mention the amazing original soundtrack.
