Just made this video to address the supposed control issues that plague the Wonderful 101. I'm not telling people to completely ignore reviews, but the controls in this game work perfectly. Take it with a grain of salt when reviewers like IGN try to blame the game's controls for their own failures.

This video uploaded by the user Saur also does a good job demonstrating that the controls work just as well when using the right stick too.
If the volume is too low for you watch this version with louder audio.
