I don't see how IGN can say the controls are "ackward or loose" given that if you go under settings they have about 15 different presets you can change to your liking as well as adjust the speed in which you move your target around. When I played it I immediately went in and fined tuned it. I would definately recommend the game it's fantastic!

OXM US gave it an 8/10 for anyone who cares.

Check out gamerankings.com. So far it has an average of 7.5 ranking. When I played the demos the controls with the camera were a little odd. Running sideways and shooting over your shoulder. But it still looks good. Happy shopping, I'm sure.

Swedish gaming magazine/webpage Gamereactor published their review January 3rd, giving it the score 8/10.

I played the demo (with default settings) for a while and I would agree- the controls are a bit sluggish. Maybe you can fine tune them, but Gears and Halo felt just fine on default settings, so I have to wonder...

They say the controls are awkward cause you can't look all the way up with a gun or the grapple, so you have to move back in order to shoot at things directly above you.

The OXM review has been out for like a month if I recall. Its not quite as valid as the other reviews because its on a not quite final build. Not to mention, I don't think anyone has tested the new fixed online loby system and larger fonts for SDTV players. As mentioned, the controls can be tweaked, so I guess its just a minor complaint that the default controls aren't very good. My only bother is that you can't shoot directly vertically, that is a little dumb...

Are you kidding me?

Seriously are they complaining because the game has more realistic controls than other shooters? Try to take a heavy gun and aim at something directly above you, it's impossible and you could get seriously injured trying.

They reviewed a non-final build? lol, you got some kind of inside source on OXM US Krazy Koala? A month lead isn't that much time (especially in the laggy print world) and an "8" seems to be the middleground between being harsh and cheerleading Lost Planet.

Whether or not the review is perfect or imperfect, I will buy a copy of this game as well as Crackdown (which I somehow expect to have poor reviews).

I'm definitely going to jump on this. I have been waiting a long time to kick some butt on the other multi player maps.
