    Team Xbox gave it 4.2/10

    I'll be avoiding this one I think.

    Bloody controls really make a mess of the game. The presentation and atmosphere in the game is excellent. The controls just really f'n mess it up. It's a shame. I still plan to soldier on through it but I was actually screaming at the bloody game today. Part on Chapt 3 where the floor in the sewers tries to eat you. Urgh!

    Only just finished the second chapter and am enjoying it so far. Some of the review scores seem a bit harsh but that's just my opinion.

    i second that, only just fininshed the first chapter...

    the graphics are sweet, my only gripe is the way it switches between 1st and 3rd person for sections and doesnt switch back automatically...

    some good new idea's but could have been honed a bit more before they released it....

    Just bought the game.....and have to say after playing the 1st 2 chapters, I am dissappointed....

    Mainly because the controls are terrible.....the driving controls and handling are the worst ever, you have to see it to believe how bad it is...

    Stick with it. Once you get to Chapter 3, you start getting used to the controls and it picks up a bit. Personally, I had no issues with the driving controls, just the physics where a tree may not stop you but a twig on the road would.

    Well you've just dragged up a 2 month old thread and highlighted the spoilers that most people would have missed by now - myself included (the first wasn't even a spoiler!)

    Gob****e.

    In a related news event, isn't there a patch due that fixes the controls and camera? I would highly recommend the game if these issues are fixed. As things were, bar the annoying parts I've already mentioned, I really enjoyed the game and would have no hassle recommending it.

    Yeah, the PS3 version is supposed to iron out a lot of the issues. Apparently they'll be releasing a patch for the 360 version at around the same time.
    Played the demo and wasn't all that impressed thanks to the controls... Might be tempted to pick it up once the patch comes out
