bit-tech Review
"Unfortunately, all of that potential is lost underneath a sea of problems on the PC version. The controls are unwieldy and awful, the graphics regularly freak out and break, the game can’t decide what it is or how it wants you to play it and the balancing has got more holes in than the Incredible Hulk’s underwear.
Instant-deaths and poor control schemes are really only the tip for the iceberg, but they do reveal the real problem beneath the ocean of minor gripes. Fixed camera angles and checkpoint saves? This is a console game, ported poorly to the PC and left to fester.
On a console, we can see this game making a lot more sense and having a lot more accessibility. This game was built from the ground up to be played with analog sticks and that’s clearly evidenced by the many mini-games and woeful handling. On the PC though, the game is part oil, part water – and that mix just doesn’t work.
We want to like it, we really do – especially since we had to go out and buy it – but the reality is that although the game may be good on a console, on the PC the experience is more infuriating than fun and is suited only to the survival horror hardcore. You know who you are." - 27th June 2008
