So I just finished the game, and I am disappointed with it.

The game controls were awful - The responsiveness is extremely low and changing sides (Left or Right) is a pain too...I died many times because of this - Maybe the problem lies in me using the keyboard instead of the recommended gamepad? I think not.

The length is pretty short too...I guess I finished the game in about 3 hours. However this was an arcade game in the consoles so I cannot argue more on this part.

Animation isn't so "Great" as they claim.

And after having read the game revies of this game, I have to agree that it feels quite repetitive.

Overall, its a short game that had lots of potential which got ruined by abysmal controls.

Rating: 5/10

Yea, I tried using the keyboard at first, too, which was a mistake. I switched to my 360 controller and it was easier to work with. The only problem I run into is that I sometimes confuse the "Pounce" and "Grapple" buttons.

I finished the game early too. However, if you play the multiplayer mode you'll get another story, not just two people in the same story, but a seperate scenario.

I only used the xbox360 controller from the start and never died because for controllers, the bosses are difficult to kill though.

And I wish it were longer, may be another theme of scenery after a couple of levels would give variety to the game.

I'm afraid I agree ,too. But if you treat it as an arcade and simply play it when you're bored and in no mood to play a serious game ,then you see that it's really fun.

PS. don't you think that for this subject a poll would be better ?
