Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Not a lucky hand lately with video-games as it's the 5th game in a row that I ditch!

This time I just can't stand the complexity of the game-play. As a child of Nes, SNES, Megadrive, Gameboy and early computers, my natural joystick is four directions and three buttons. Here, it's a double four direction and 10 buttons. This inflation of technology doesn't add to the fun as you need to be an engineer or happy to read a manual to play. Here, there's at least a attempt to be helpful and didactic as the first level is a training level. But after 15 minutes of listening how to drive, fly, target, make a turn, accelerate, punch, etc,…, I just get bored and let down.

It's a bit sad as it's a birthday gift from my brother but I presume that I have to be more selective now.
