a potentially thrilling game if not for the horrendous controls

Usually I wait until I've finished the game before reviewing one officially on gamespot; however, I've been playing this game for about 6 hours so far and I think I can provide a pretty fair opinion of what to expect for the remainder of the game. First off, the graphics are decent; not amazing, but decent. The gameplay, while a bit too fast-paced at times, can be thrilling when things are just utterly chaotic.

The story's premise seems to be quite intriguing if not for the extreme pace of the game, which ultimately renders the experience underwhelming.

The biggest issue with the game is the controls. It is fu*king terrible. It's so bloody bad that I want to rate it in the minuses it bugs me that much. The main problem is that in a game that relies on fast-paced action and a variation of powers and movements, the controls need to be spot on in order for it to work to potential. The controls in this case, I am afraid, are simply poor.

I'd love to give this game a 9/10, but the controls absolutely ruin a good chunk of the action.
