Co-op sounded like fun as well.I have to say that Vicarious Vision made an outstanding job on this...it looks amazing and runs at a steady 30fps,it looks better then Riddick on the XBox,you can save anywhere,there's even a quicksave button,the controller works really well...there's a little more loading then in the PC version,but it's not that bad and the loading screen is about 10 seconds. I got to play some Co-op and it's a great ride...it's most of the single player game but with someone along...they added a few darker area's where someone absolutly needs to use the flashlight so it's very tense in some area.The 4 player Deathmatches and the like are very fast though but it's still fun i thought. I'll be online with this most of the rest of the week so if you feel like playing online,the co-op especially,send a message.This game is at least worth a rental just to experience this mode alone. -------------------- ============================

I think basically the opposite. To me, the controller is much easier to deal with than a keyboard & mouse. It's probably just what we are used to using the most though. I first got into FPS with Marathon, and (as far as I can remember) using the mouse was a total pain in the ass. You had to roll forward to move forward on the screen. Looking up and down was with the keyboard. It drove me nuts, so I just went ALL keyboard when playing Marathon. I don't remember there being a way to reconfig the set up either. I only really started playing FPS's on consoles. My only problem is when things get really hairy. I tend to freak out with the controller which makes me shoot straight up in the air and then I get all disorientated because I can't tell which direction I am facing.

I have to say the more I play Doom 3, the more I like it. It's only happened a couple of times now, but I TOTALLY love it when the screen turns all red and f'ed up, you basically lose control of your guy, and the sounds get all freaky weird and growly. Then, it fades back into "reality" and you are face to face with multiple baddies. That sensation is awesome.

hahah yeah, there have been several games that have atempted to redefine the typical KB/Mouse controls for FPS, and they all have done nothing less than a terrible job, that being your first major experience with the KB/Mouse setup, i can understand being disgruntled with it

I first saw KB/mouse VS. Controller users on Q3A on the dreamcast, at first i obviously didn't have a mouse/KB so you make due, i remember getting owned by KB/mouse users, i promptly got the KB/mouse for the DC and turned the tables.

a bit later though, i started playing UT2001 for the DC, and the tables were turned, Control users had a wicket auto-aim that was built into the game, and they would give me a run for my money, hahah.

Apples and Oranges i guess.
