Could have been a great game ... too bad they totally screwed up the CAMERA and CONTROLS!

I really wanted to love this game ... and I would have if it weren't for the incredibly horrible camera and control scheme. Others have already discussed this ad nauseam, but it is my main reason for wanting to burn this game after a few hours of play. I don't think I've screamed at a game as much as I have with this one. I was just glad I checked out user reviews after reading the Gamespot review or I would have thought I was doing something wrong. The Gamespot reviewer inexplicably totally ignored this major deficiency. What game was he playing?!? Maybe he mostly played a console version and just briefly checked out the graphics/sound on the PC version and figured it was great. Anyway ... in some ways it is a lot of fun, but the camera and controls simply kill the brief moments of joy. I think I'll sell it on eBay and try out the XBOX version. I know there is a great game in there somewhere.
