| Shame on Crystal Dynamics. They make the game rediculously easy then on the
penultimate level give you a boss which is rediculously hard because the
controls are wonky. The controls have been fine throughout the whole game
until now. I know what I have to do, its just that the movement of what to
do is not working. How to elate someone then piss them off in one easy
step.

I've enjoyed the demo but the fighting and targeting controls aren't very
good. |

The combat is the weakest part of the game. Puzzles are good but too few of
them. Finsihed in 8 hrs 1 minute this afternoon. I am going to send it
back. Yes I am a sucker 
Its a good game on the whole but is not perfect. |

Nah most games I play on normal, don't want them too easy. I could do the
boss but the controls were cacking up. I restarted the game and they worked
okay, did it in the second try after restarting. |

I think I might get it. I played the demo once again and I realised you
could do flips and dodges while shooting which was quite fun. The real
weakness seems to be the camera which was a bit wonky while I was dragging
those boxes around.
I enjoyed it alot, definitely one to buy and then trade in or sell. |

You don't shoot with Y you go up to her and press Y. Rinse and repeat 3
times. |
