I've heard mixed views about the PC version of this game. The lack of mouse support really puts me off buying it.

There is a mod available which let's you use the mouse to aim. Anyway, I have it on PC and use a joypad and after installing the patch, the game is great. Definitely get it on PC if you don't have a PS2 or GameCube.

I've got it for PC, but I just don't feel it is worth getting. I can't really enjoy it, maybe due to the fact of mouse support, even thought there is a patch for mouse support it isn't the same thing. If you don't own a PS2 or GC and are a huge fan of Resi then get it.

I just bought the PC version a few hours ago.  You definately need a controller to enjoy this game.  The cutscenes are in a really low resolution and look like crap.

As for the gameplay the controlls are kind of clunky.  How much fun is it really to shoot standing still struggling to aim with 10 guys coming at you like turtles...

The guys at gamestop were like if you haven't played it, its a must have.  This yet another reason why I don't own a console if this is in the running for GoY 2005...at least it was cheap

I have played all 3 versions and I can tell you that the PC version does look the best in-game out of all 3 versions. The only problem is that you really need a joypad to play it and sometimes there are minor glitches in the PC version, therefore I would still say that the GameCube version is the best one to get.

See that's the problem for designing a game for the PC: You have to use the mouse in order for it to be considered a PC game.

Just taking out the mouse controls is like taking the controller from the consoles, it just doesn't work right.

How do you aim without a joypad then?

I was considering this game myself. Gonna forget about it after what I've read, I'm a keyboard/mouse guy.

Anyway good shooters you might want to consider (Don't know if around 25 where you are)

Painkiller, arcade style with monsters coming at you from every side while good music is playing and some super tough bosses.

Serious sam 2, Kinda more silly but fun with so many things coming at you at once.

Doom 3, Nice dark shooter that gets harder and harder to the point of being really hard.

Battlefield 2 if you want to fight with lots of people online.

When you install the patch it adds dynamic lighting to the game.

For a couple of more bills than a joypad, you can get yourself a cube with a copy of the game. Or you could take it further, get a Wii and get the future Wii version that has some bonus stuff.

It doesn't. Most lighs dont work or are wrong, and some are totally missing... including the most important ones

After the patch i looks as good a ps2, but i think US version already comes with the patch.

get it, its worse but never unplayable
