A terrible xbox to pc port. Not very challenging at all.

The premise of the game is extremely original, and the storyline is awesome, but the gameplay is very easy once you get used to the controls. It'd definitely NOT a real PC game, because the programmers didn't take the time to change the menus from "Press A to Continue" to "Press Enter" It's completely sloppy! By doing this, they assume that everyone playing this has an Xbox controller hooked up. I can't decide if it's just lazy programming, or a stupid way to force people to buy controllers so they can play these crappy Xbox ports without feeling like they need a translator. When you turn in a report in the 4th grade and some parts of it are written in Spanish, your teacher will either give it back to you and tell you to fix your mistakes, or just give you an F. I wish I could send this game back to DICE for a second chance at NOT completely screwing up, but for now I'll just have to settle with giving it an F.
