I've never really played a game that has horrible controls until i played this game. I was hard to move around change the camera around to see what i was doing. I feel that they spent too much time trying to make "alive" environments then actually making a game you can play. If i were you don't even spend the money to rent the game. Download the demo to understand how poor this game is. The first 5 minutes of the game you are clicking in the right stick to blink. Come on now. That would have been really cool to me like 10 years ago. The environemts in this came are cool and i'm glad that they did try something new. I think the game needs a little more polish and easier controls and this game would be good. How ever i would play a game where i have control over my character then play in a really cool environment
