Wow.
This game has one of the WORST controls of all time. The graphics look pretty good, but if you can't at least move around without frustration what the heck is the point of playing? All of the game testers for this one should be fired immediately. I'm a fan of the older PC game--kind've spooky---and this game is NOTHING like the older game. If you're looking for some sort of nostalgia, forget it. The story also is so-so and very shallow. The overall gameplay is somewhat boring and not very hard.
I don't grade games very often here, but when I do I like to award great games. I'm doing this only to let you guys know not to waste your $$ here........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
