This week's free game at CompUSA is 'Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc'. Having wanted to play one of the Rayman games, I picked this one up. The graphics are WAY cool on this one. And it's pretty funny. But boy oh boy! The installation was HORRRRRRIBLE. Once I got past that, I reinserted disc 1 because I did a full install. The manual said a full/complete install means you ONLY need to run the game off disc 1. So, disc 1.......didn't work. It asked for disc 2. Arrghhh!
OK, so now I'm up and running. The next issue is the controls. Maybe it's because I'm not a console gamer, but it doesn't seem like they tried to do anything to convert it to a PC game. I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, I just need to be patient. You can use the arrow keys, but they don't quite work how I expected. I would expect 'up' to make me move foward and left/right to make me turn. Nope. All the arrow keys move you forward in the specified direction. So, clicking Left makes you start moving that direction. It's tough to get used to. Perhaps console gamers are like, "Yeah? So?" But to me, they should have made the controls more for a PC gamer. I just need to spend more time with it, or perhaps there is some keyboard command I need to change.
Anyone else try this one?
