I had no problem with controls, I guess it kinda took some getting used to though. You control like a tank (forward, backwards, or rotate; pretty standard for survival horror), and combat is mostly done by shooting magic at enemies with the Wiimote aiming, and melee if they get too close. You run to a safe distance, aim and shoot, run off to dodge their attacks and repeat. I thought combat was the best part; honestly my biggest complaint was the story was kind of hard to follow. I think I paid about $10 and it was definitely worth it. I loved the atmosphere and environment too.
edit: Now that I think of it, they might have been referring to the "gestures" you need to make to exorcise ghosts. But really it's not that hard, just make big, slow, deliberate gestures in the direction indicated. It's actually really forgiving, many times I'd gesture the wrong way and it works anyway.
