Here is a game that could be a real success but was rushed, i've been waiting for this game for a long time... As much as i like the school, all the details and the sound effects and characters... I hate the fixed camera, you always need to adjust your control each time you enter in a new zone, this is worst then a loading time believe me, the angles of the camera are much like resident evil 2 , this is not working for a game that should be about exploring the school and see what you want to see, you know, this game was supposed to be all about freedom but you cant even set your camera where you want. You always get to see the angles that they wanted you to see. They lied also about the configurable controls too, you only have the choice between 2 type of keyboards or to plug a 360 controller.
The school is amazing, the music and sound effects are awesome, the spell casting could be better, it could be easy to fix if there was an option to put the camera behind the character while casting it would be easier. I think EA should release a patch for the camera for the pc version.
i'd say EA games needs to work harder on the next title they are on the good track, they need to hire some of the guys from the team that made the godfather. This game has an enormous potential, but out of the box, the gameplay is wrong, the camera angles are confusing. If EA could wake up and fix it, they could make a lot of money with this game and do an expension because the school is so huge.
