Another waste of money because of a bad port! Don't listen to any review above 2!

The original review is below, I'm editing this because my ramblings weren't clear and I wanted to make them such.

All the following comments are based on my experiences with the game after about 20 hours playing, and after installing a mouse mod and the HD mod.

1. The game controls are still very unresponsive even with the mouse mod installed. They lose targeting and many times I end up with my character and the view in two different directions, which becomes very annoying, and fatal. I couldn't change mouse mods because one required overriding driver signing in W7 and I couldn't seem to get that done.

2. The multiple key commands, such as kick, drop and attack, are listed in game only with the controller combinations as sort of hints. To figure out which was which for me on the PC I had to search the net, the guide wasn't very good.

3. The graphics look good, the eeriness of people talking is cool.

4. The game is very difficult, getting killed by two skeletons can be frustrating but does make you think more on the strategy side of things.

5. Unfortunately the controls are so bad, and I died one time too many because of them, so I gave up the game. Which I think is too bad since it gets such great reviews for the consoles.

Good luck if you are more patient than me, it's just unfortunate that such a good game can't be ported over better. Maybe they should hire some of these mod-makers who in just a day improved the graphics, and in less than a week had a mouse control mod out.

=====================original review======================

This game truly is a very bad port. I'm getting a bit tired of game manufacturers putting stuff like this out there to make me waste my money on a game I die in purely because they can't get the controls right.

I know you can download a mouse mod, I know you can download an HD mod. The point is you shouldn't have to! I've downloaded both BTW, and the mouse mod just doesn't make it worth playing, at least on my system. In fact I couldn't even install one of the mouse mods without playing with Windows 7 driver signing which I never got to work.

The second point is, why would I hook my controller to my PC? I can play it out on my console.

This looks like it could really be a good game, but the controls are a pain in the butt...making the game not worth playing. If you can get it to work for you , or you have more patience than me, I recommend the game.
