It seems like the motion control experience in SS differs between people though.

I mean, they worked fine for me and I've heard other people saying the same, but then there are people who claim they were absolutely miserable to use.

Why is that? Faulty Wii Remotes?

I have heard the theory that some of the Wii Motion Plus accessories that got bundled with the game (which was the only reason many people had a WMP) were defective, which seems like the most plausible explanation I can think of for how incredibly polarizing the controls were. Like, I'd get some people just not liking them, but there were many people who swore up and down that they made the game barely playable, which just doesn't line up with how many others found that they worked completely fine. People not recalibrating often enough is another potential issue (personally, I tapped the button to center the aiming cursor basically every time I aimed with something, to the point where it became second nature and I didn't even notice), but I still doubt that so many people would have such a bad time if it were that easily fixed. Given how few other games used WMP's (I think the only other one I own is Nintendoland, and that wasn't even on the Wii), it's also quite believable that nobody would ever have tested their WMP on another game to confirm whether or not it worked.

Skyward sword is a roller coaster in terms of quality. A lot of the dungeon and boss designs were great, but Fi and the imprisoned fight make me never want to touch the game again.

It really is. I genuinely felt that it had some of the best dungeon designs in the series, but the bland overworld and a host of other problems made it much less enjoyable overall than it could have been. I should really replay it and see how my impressions hold up a decade later.
