First of all, what you mean by Al? (never heard of that phrase before).
Anyway, I personally prefer using mouse and keyboard; I, do not have a special mouse and I still find it very easy to play this game on PC compare to using controller. I think this comes down how good you are with mouse and keyboard. Some people are naturally good with controllers and some people are just born to use mouse and keyboard. I have a game console as well but I prefer to play all my games on my PC. Play Counter strike source; that will seriously improve your skills for using mouse and keyboard, trust me.
I often play this game while having my food, and I have still managed :)
It is like playing Piano, 'the more you practice, the better you get'.
This game has improved massively, the visual effect and depth of the colours are just fantastic. I would give this game a rating of 9 because it has improved so much better than the first one(the first one was amazing as well).
The storyline is just brilliant! with those monsters chasing you etc...
This game is somewhat realistic, it is partially like GTA 4(seriously realistic) but a bit better I think, afterall, this is a game and if it gets too real, it gets boring...
As you have mentioned that the soldiers are "are incredible morons and easily mislead. Even if you jump of a building in their midst they show no reaction." The military soldiers have to somewhat act stupid in a way due to the fact that if they are set to hign alert, whenever you fly pass a helicopter or run past a tank, you would get shot all the time and sometimes it gets annoying! For example, you have just completed a mission at one of the military bases, and as you come out, there are 3 super soldiers, 4 tanks, 3 helicopters and lets not forget about the soldiers with rocket lauchers! If you try run up a building or something, they shoot you down and if they play like we 'humans' do then we would die easily. Video games can not be too realistic.
San andreas(you might have played it) was really cool back in the days, if they made it for example, last year! with better visual technology etc, it would be amazing! I'm not saying GTA 4 is bad(it is brilliant), am just using it as an example.
In conculsion, it depends on how you play and not how the games works, am not trying to say you're a terrible player or anything! Different games have their pros and cons, I NEVER look at a games negative side because what is the point? You will just not enjoy the game as much; different games are all unnique on their own ways.
Nearly all the people I know love this game but some don't, they say that 'It is difficult to operate' but that just depends on one's skills on using the mouse and keyboard or the controller.
I read that they are planning onto making a 3rd one, but that will be in the future!
P.S. Am not trying to say anything negative about you.
