Fire the reviewer. This game is really good and really fun. Very accurate...
This is not you grandfather's WII, but a motion controller/capture device on steroids. The Eye follows your punches and blocks and gives a realistic rendition on the screen of the fight. It is a challenge and the fighters that you face have a great mix of talents and styles so each fight is different.
Hints: don't get too close to the screen or the parallax, ( angle between the screen center and the camera) will be too large for accurate gameplay If the camera is under the screen and too close the punches will go over the opponents head. If you are tall and need to be close then the camera must go on top of the screen. It's better to hit opponent on the chin thin miss him. Also, their was a tendency of all of us to move forward during the game. it's Ok to jump around and move your feet as long as you jump in place and stay in the area where you did the initial calibration,
The calibration is very fast and is somewhat forgiving. i moved around a little and did not notice any degradation in the game play.
I don't know what the reviewer was playing, but he surely did not understand this game, was biased, or physically inept. This is a great game. We've been playing everyday since we got the unique game.
