Great review Wiz!

This is the first game I have seen since Prince of Persia (2 thrones?), that is geared around the use of a game pad. I am the same as you, in that I prefer rodent/KB combo. Feels more natural. Pity the publishers don't see that the PC market has this unique and long preferred method of control and re-coded to suit.
I have to say, though, that eye candy isn't enough to hold my interest. Since the MP aspect is dodgy ATM, there is no real reason that I would spend the $89 (yes, I did see it at this price) for a short SP game.
I have kept one eye on the Xbox version since I saw a net ad for it earlier this year, thinking it would migrate to PC.

I think I'll wait a little bit longer until MP is fixed, what ever the problem maybe!

Cheers.
