I normally disagree with Yahtzee's reviews, they are hilarious but often contrary to my own opinion. This one however was spot on.

I will never understand why people think Wii FPS controls are better the gamepad controls or even comparable to M/K controls. Yatzee sums it perfectly pretty much.

They can be when done right - Metroid was pretty much perfect for me. It depends on your preferences really, I've come to the point where I'm comfortable with all three control schemes, but given a choice I'd rather take a Wiimote or a Mouse/Keyboard set up over dual analog - but in the end I don't care that much.

The problem I still have with his so called reviews is that they are not complete. Which makes them more of a rant then a review. It seems like he was dead on about the game. Why not talk about the online mode? Or when he does reviews of others games talk about all the different modes of a game and for once play the whole game before you do a so called review on it.

He says he doesn't play online. I wouldn't be surprised if he just reads the wiki and other reviews to know the main problems of the game and just does a 4 minute video exaggerating on them. That said, that was one of his funnier videos in a while.

Because the wii-mote crap all over Dual analog for FPSes? His problems are because he isn't used to the control scheme (and he's a confesed wii hater). Just like someone who isn't used to dual analog will keep staring at the floor and the ceiling most of the time.

And I do believe he said all the "control" problems could be fixed with WM+. Only if WM+ was realeased and could be implemented...

Wii+ will do crap about FPS controls other than melee like sword fighting. The IR sensor is pixel perfect precise and very smooth (refresh rate of 200+ fps).

Technically, he's incorrect about not being able to look up. You just have to adjust the vertical view setting. As to why they set vertical view so low by default, that still puzzles me.

That may be true and im sure FPS games and other genres will be better with the Wii motion + but untill then I still stand by my claim that the Wii is awful for FPS games.

So does this guy get all his ratings by pleasing the majority? :? I don't like Nintendo either for this guys seems to count on the angry feed back of Nintendo fans to stay popular. This may be the last of his reviews I may bother watching.

In what sense? I base mine in the fact that WIi fps doens't need aim asist unlike dual analog fps. Also, the pointer is way more precise and faster for aiming. Pointer based games like Castle Defence and World of Goo can't be done with dual analog, the developers of those games said as much. And even the sony guys said something like it during their E3 demonstration (finally you can point at your units and wrtie your name on the screen!).

Lol i find it funny how the Wii is trying to mush into the Xbox/PS territory with the FPS games and Xbox/PS are trying to mush in on the Wii territory with the motion control.

Because they are. Even Gamespot who gave this game a craptastic score said this is one of the best, if not the best controls for a shooter ever. Sadly it was attached to a somewhat lackluster game. I enjoyed myself, and liked the single player more than the first Halo (gasp, blasphemy). Both had terrible and repetitive level design, but the controls for Conduit beat it handily in my honest opinion.
