Marvel: Ultimate Alliance (Wii vs PS2 vs PC)

I brought this issue up in the Nintendo thread, but it went wholly unnoticed. I assume this was a result of all the excitement of the Wii launch, which I understand. But I'm really stumped on what to do here, so I wanted to try again. My original intent was to get the Wii version of the game, but I've remained uncertain about how the controls would work out on the remote. Gamespot gave the game an 8.2-8.3 for all the versions, excluding GBA, which got an abysmal 2.5, and the aforementioned Wii version, which got a 7.1 for it's akward controls and lack of online support (which is a non issue to me, by the way, since I'm not online with anything but my PC and my DS, and soon my Wii). Now, I know I tend to follow Gamespot's scores pretty blindly, so I've really tried to branch out on this one. Problem is, the Wii version's controls really seem to be hit or miss. People either love them or hate them, and for every good thing I hear about the controls, I hear another bad thing to even it out. So this has left me considerably confused about what to do. My only other options are the PS2 version, (which would be inferior technically, would only support 2 players with my lack of a multi-tap, and my PS2 is still vaguely unreliable, so I like to buy multi-platform games for other consoles), and the PC version (This machine will be 2 years old in March, so I obviously can't be sure I'd get the best quality out of it, I'd need to buy a gamepad or suffer using the keyboard, and it'd make non-online multiplayer nonexistant, if you consider that a problem at all). Another downside to both of those is that only the next gen console versions contain Moon Knight and Colossus, so I'd be missing out on them (although I hear there's a mod that will allow them in the PC version). And again, while the Wii would improve most of those situations, like having 4 players and being the most technically reliable version I could get, the issue still remains that I have no idea how I'll end up liking the controls with the remote. Anyhow, if you've read all this psychobabble, I thank you. Any advice at all (that doesn't involve me purchasing a system other than the Wii that I don't own such as PS3, PSP, Xbox, and Xbox 360), I'd accept it gratefully.

EDIT: After posting this I recalled an old M:UA thread that's at this point a about a month dead, and confirmed it by scrolling down, so I hope this is ok here. I just want some help figuring this all out. I've been here long enough that you guys know I don't make a habit out of posting superfulous threads (though I suppose that can also be a matter of opinion).
