what a joke...

First of all, no one can accuse me of not being a soul reaver fan, the only game in the series i havent played is the original blood omen. This game was a total letdown. While in combat, no matter what you have the control settings as, the only way to move forward is to move your mouse the direction you want to go, the only directional keys that work on your computer during combat are the sidestep buttons, so to fully enjoy this games great story i recommend getting either a game pad or the PS2 version because all this is is a terrible console port. The silly developers couldn't just let you be able to move with the keys you picked. This might not sound like a big problem, oh big deal i just push forward on the mouse to move forward, well it is kind of a problem when you try to move forward and the camera angle ends up making you walk straight into one of the
charge attack things your enemies pull off every 2.3269 seconds. While the controls are managable in 1v1 combat, while your fighting a group all i can say is good luck, your going to take alot of hits that could of been avoided, and if you knock one of them down and want to switch your aim to one right next to you, you'll have to untarget the one you knocked down, wait for raziel to untensen, and then target the other one wich by the time you've done all of that you would have taken about 3-5 hits and the one you knocked down would be up by now, if only there were an easier way, like some kind of TARGET SWITCH BUTTON. If you plan on swimming any time soon the conrols also present a problem of you swerving up and down like a fish with down syndrome.
just get the ps2 version
