It's out for the PC right?How's the controls on this one? Hopefully not as
difficult as Sands of Time.

Too many controls and buttons to push to pull off the fancy moves.
Tried it with a standard USB gamepad with 10 buttons. Your supposed to
push 2 or 3 buttons in a row to pull off a move. Thats ok, except
you've got to remember about 20 different combo moves! Arrgh, horrible.
Gave up after the first mini boss fight.

Graphics do look good though but its very 'on-rails' much more so that
something like HL2.

Worse. Download the demo. Caveat emptor.

I wouldn't say POP:WW is on rails. In fact, I found it to be quite the
opposite. I often had no clue as to where to go or what to do. I found
myself going from past to present and back again and re-traversing the same
areas over and over. I finally got bored and reluctantly gave up on the
game. At least 'Sands of Time' provided a hint of what to do at the start of
each section.

Controls are worse. Too many combo attack moves to learn. Try the demo
before buying is my advice.

Thanks all. That's about all I needed to hear. I'm having a difficult enough
time with Sands of Time controls. If the controls are worse,I'll pass.
