I didn't think the controls were that tough, although it took a couple of run-throughs of the demo to get the hang of it.
The graphics are really spectacular.
The Gamespot review complained that the combat is really tough and the platforming is really easy, but IMO that's exactly the way it should be. Does anyone really *enjoy* lining up difficult jumps and climbs in a game like this?
In the demo at least, the toughest part of combat is trying to collect that scarce ammo from dead enemies while their buddies are still blasting away at you.
If I'm going to face multiple attempts at getting through a tough section, I would much rather it involve running around and shooting at baddies than nudging my character around the edge of a platform.
