.....and I`m finding the controls truly tricky....does anyone else wish they`d put strafe on the left analogue stick instead of having to pull the bl**dy trigger all the time?
I`m sure I`ll get used to it soon but it`s really doing my head in!
Anyone finished it? How was it? There were loads of people applauding it when it first came out, but that happens with every new big name game that comes out.....

Rob, You do get used to it.
I`ve finished it and it is fantastic. The framerate never drops and all the old upgrades, secret locations etc. are there. An amazing transition into 3D!!
In fact it`s my best game for the Cube. :o Maybe..

as per t`other Ste, it soon becomes second nature, and you`ll find yourself trying to use this method in other "FPS" :D
I did anyway :)
absolute class game, technically it $h1t$ on most games from a massive height.

Well, been playing for a couple of hours now and although I`m still finding it a little tricky it`s definitely becoming more "natural" feeling......even if my hands still think they`re playing Halo or Red Faction from time to time!!
I`ve just cleared the first mission (I`m not the best at computer games but my excuse for the lovgevity is that I took two work calls which were quite lengthy - honest :D ) and, you`re right, it`s smoo-ooth.
Must say that I love the ball - what a quality idea that is......anyway, must crack on!

I`ve just started it too and there`s some very nice touches ......like the little insects that are trying to escape the spaceship with Shamus.I`m just on the first boss creature.Apparently the next level is more open and pretty spectacular......

Wouldnt really call it the next level since its pretty much the whole damn game :) The station is more just a training mission

Get it for £19.99 now can`t you? With the Zelda bonus disk? As a `send off` thingy with your receipt.
