The PC controls suck as well. The mouse acceleration is horrendous.

But would you say that it's as terrible as some of these reviews are saying for the console versions?

I'm just a bit concerned that I'm not getting the full story on the game, especially if MrPopo is right. That would be like reviewing only the SNES port of Doom and saying that that was the game.

I found it infuriating enough that I doubt I'll ever finish the game.

I have no problem with it, but to each his own. Still, eurogamer gave this game a 3.....the same site who gave sonic and the secret rings a 9

But then again, they apparently reviewed a console version, hence why I was wondering about the PC.

It certainly feels clunky on the PC, but haven't tried the console version to compare. Physics are stiff just as the review mentioned. At least on the PC it definitely looks better (I turn motion blur off) when compared to online footage of the console ports.

Very unfortunate to read all this after such a long wait. Maybe they should have waited another year to release it and tweaked it a little more. Cough...

Had they done that, we wouldn't have gotten the game till 2016, and it still would have had some issues.

Well I just "got it"...

Guys, definitely play this on the PC if at all possible. Looks and runs way better (I watched a friend play the 360 demo), and my PC isn't a beast or anything. Turned motion blur off, anti-aliasing isn't even on, most settings are just on High, and it all looks and runs a lot better than the console footage I've seen.

It's official: either opt for the PC version (hardware requirements are somewhat reasonable), or the PS3 one, whilst the 360 port is best ignored.
