    From a stationary position there’s always a very slight pause after you move the stick before he responds, and when he is actually moving there’s a slight level of inertia so you never feel you have full precision of control.

At first it may seem that the game is interesting and funny, but you will soon find out that it is really bland. Overall I would not waste my time with it… Expand
