I'm just remembering how rubbish 3D platformers on the PS1 were before the dual shock.

Only review of it so far seems to be a German magazine who gave it 73%
*edit*
Nintendo power gave it 85%

There's a weird spread in the reviews. Most hover around 80 with a few going much lower.
They're all saying stuff like "once you get over xyz it's much better" which rings alarm bells to me. Fiddly controls, too many gameplay styles meshed together and an overdone story seem to be the main issues.
I'm still struggling to get worked up about this, even as a big metroid fan.

Selecting beams, manually aiming with the analog etc. Even the stuff in first person would work fine with an analog stick...as do other first person games...
Nintendo Grrr.

The 'only using wiimote' thing seems daft to me, they could of had it as default but provided other control methods too with nunchuk or classic controller. It just seems really stubborn to limit a game to the wiimote. I tried playing Metroid Zero mission on an emulator on the homebrew channel, unplayable on wiimote because there just aren't enough buttons in the right place.

Having just watched the GBQL I think this would annoy me massively thanks to the controls. As they said, if the game supported analogue it would probably play a lot better.
That's probably a moot point since we'll probably find out, but it's enough of a thing for me to stop me buying this until it's cheaper.
