Man... I was really looking forward to this port. After the delay I was expecting them to actually put some time into it so it would be worth $30 or so (I wouldn't expect it to be full price). But looks like it's at best has the quality of DMC 3 for PC, which was utter crap. I mean there wasn't even a way to exit that game without ctrl-alt-del. I actually thought a kb+mouse would be better for this game since you could aim much quicker to pull off headshots. I do have a 360 controller which likely can be setup with a profile to work well, but damn, if the graphics are complete sh*t then that doesn't help anything either. From what I've read they are garbage. I'd probably get better graphics using a Gamecube hooked up via composite to my monitor and run 1280x1024, which looks bad enough as it is. Looks like I'll just try and borrow a friend's Gamecube + this game if this port is that bad.
edit: That Gamespot UK forum has a thread giving a link for a small download to add mouse support. I'd assume keyboard works with it?? But people have said a gamepad is better. Still, given the limited ammo and how much you want to do headshots (or leg shots, etc), kb+mouse would seem the best choice.
Jeez cmon that lack of lightning is such lazyness. Even as it sounds, I'd probably buy it if it isn't buggy if it weren't for the lightning. The GC vs. PS2 vs. PC screenshots linked in the GS UK forum show how bad it is. The graphics are sharper, but man that is just a stupid thing to do. Everything is so brown and bland.
Guess I'll wait for some US reviews before a final verdict, but this is very disappointing nonetheless.
