Could have been a great game if it was PC only to begin with.

I had a chance to play a bit, and I don't like it. I mean, graphics is great, physics nice as well, but the commands suck and the game has bugs.

Occasional graphics corruption (Alt-Tab and back fixes it) can perhaps be attributed to an ATI driver problem with new HD 58xx series of cards, but game showing wrong keyboard shortcuts once you redefine them is unforgivable — you need to remember the original keys if you want to pass through the action sequences where you have to press certain keys in order.

Speaking of action sequences, that is gameplay for retards — let me do what I want, let me finish the enemy the way I want it, I hate scripted sequences with "now press this key, than this key, now jerk this key as fast as you can until your finger turns blue", etc. Once the game starts bossing me around like that, there is no fun for me in it anymore.

Finally, add to that the inability to scale the video to the 1280x1024 screen resolution leading to awfully stretched cinematics and one hour you need to spend installing the game (7.5 GB of prerendered cinematics and 17 GB of level data), and you lose the incenitive to play pretty quickly... at least I did. If I were you, I would rather pay to play Mass Effect 2 when it comes out in January 2010.
