The first thing I noticed was how bad the controls, movement and camera angles are. And that pretty much ended the fun with this game right there before it even began. And when I say bad, I mean worse than horrible - there isn't even a word to describe it. The camera seems to have a life of its own and shifts angles randomly while you're moving. So you constantly miss your targets when jumping and fall off ledges. Trying to simply walk in a straight line is IMPOSSIBLE. (I guess that's what it feels like to fail a field sobriety test after a night of drinking...) This constant camera shaking, shifting, spinning, wobbling was so bad, I came out feeling nauseous, sort of like seasick-nauseous, after the first time playing this game.
I ended up playing a few more times trying to gain control of the controls and hoping for the game to redeem itself in some way. But after a while it became too frustrating to devote 95% of my attention to battling the camera movement.
This could have been a really nice game, but the controls destroy it completely.
