The game is a blast to play, as expected. I've tried both of the main control schemes and I actually find myself preferring the waggle controls, they're implemented really well. It's easier to waggle to regain health than it is to mash on 1 and 2. I haven't tried the balance board with the game yet, it seems like it would only make it more difficult (which could be part of the fun).

The presentation is awesome. The graphics, sound, and menus are all top notch.

It's too bad they couldn't get Isiah Whitlock Jr (the guy who played Doc Louis in the commercial) to voice Doc in the game. Doc's voice acting is pretty bad and it sticks out :P Otherwise the voices are fine and the ethnic stereotypes are entertaining. The scene that got me the most so far was one where Glass Joe was holding onto a big baguette for no real reason.

Also, for those concerned it looks like the game will update your Wii to 4.0. Mine was at 3.4 and it had me update.
