yes, the controls were great
yes, the graphics were great (for a wii game)
yes, the multiplayer was great
but the game yet had that feeling of missing something
As for the article, I'm really glad they're concentrating on giving PC-level control customization to a console game.
The online was decent, but some what glitchy and every time you died you see your hand. But if you can find the original for ABOUT $15-25 then it would be worth it.
