I didn't like using the trigger as the walk command. And I wanted him to RUN anyway. (Despite my user name (LadyPatience) I am not very patient.) With you on the character controlling.

Loved it, and it was everything i'd hoped for - and more (and for osmeone who hates QTE's that's saying something) This is a different beast. If you're not prepared to go in with your mind open I'd say avoid (particularly if you're one of those people who can't be bothered to even try and suspend their disbelief with modern cinema offerings and are more likely to sit their with your arms crossed and demand to be impressed). The audio is great (the soundtrack inparticular is hauntingly beautiful - gets under your skin). The only thing I didn't like was controlling the character sometimes was a bit iffy and unresponsive, but that may be down to the camera scheme - not sure yet. That aside, this has been on pre-order for some time now, so can't wait. I’d been following the ARG online, and got early access to the demo last week which was a bonus.

Still a little clunky, but you can tell already that the story is going to be sooooo good.
