What are you playing?

(Is Skyward Sword any good?)

Let me answer that with this...

Did you enjoy the Wii controls of Twilight Princess? If not, could you at least tolerate them?

If you didn't enjoy the wii controls in twilight princess, you won't enjoy the controls much more in Skyward Sword(Don't let the fanboys tell you otherwise).

Needless to say, the control scheme is the only bad point. Everything else is top notch, story, character interaction, adding a run button is not as stupid as it seems, etc etc

If you enjoyed Twilight Princess you'll enjoy Skyward Sword more.

That's the dumbest thing I've read today. You can't compare the controls in TP to SS. Yes, they both use motion controls, but the way they are used makes a world of difference. I hated the controls in TP, but I loved them in SS. They completely made you rethink how you fight enemies and made it so you had to actually consider your next action instead of blindly swining your sword. I seriously hope your post was meant to be sarcastic or something.
