How can the controls be so horrible? Reading a lot of the reviews many people say the controls are "challenging" to horrible, I will pick horrible. Ok its true I have never played a PoP game, so I did not expect it to be simple but come on! I expect you to be able to do most things, at least well enough to play the game. In this game In the first 15 minutes of the game I was stuck at least 3 times and each time it took me an hour.

The camera angles also tried to do way too much. Sure if it works it would be impressive but it does not an leaves you always trying to figure out what happened, or seeing some choppy movements.

The story is really good, and does draw you in, if the controls where smooth it would really make this game a pleasure to play.

The graphics are average at best. Some scenes really do look ok, but others are very dated. The sound track is very good, and works well with the game.

This is one of the few games I did not finish, and have no interest to go back and frustrate myself with such horrible controls. Rent it first and if you have no problems with the controls (Good for you) then you should like it. Red Steel's controls are like driving a Ferrari, this games controls are like driving a Kia.

    First of all, whoa! Lots of fanboyism pro and con in the rest of the reviews. That's kind of surprising, considering how balanced most reviews of the PSP version are. Oh, well... So I'm back with another review for th... Read Full Review
