and I don't even mind the controls! I was a little leery of this game, both because so many people had problems with it, and because I usually dislike third person games. To my surprise, I am really enjoying it! I did switch the controls around - using the number keys for look, inventory, talk, and action, and the arrow keys for movement. The story is interesting ,the graphics great, and the Johnny Depp look alike sure doesn't hurt!
I know I am in the (very teeny) minority , but I actually prefer keyboard controls in third person games. I think its easier to control the character! (**ducks and runs**)

I am happy to hear I'm not alone! Can't wait to get off work so I can go home and play some more - I just left the grotto and now gotta find Edward! Does anyone know the deal with the main character's look? even my 7 year old niece commented on how much he looked like Johnny Depp! Too close a resemblance to have been an accident I think!

I bought this game when its first came out a couple of months back, but havn't got round to playing it yet. Its encouraging to hear that quite a few people are enjoying it.

I am almost finished with it, I do like the storyline, it makes up for the keyboard controls. I am ok with keyboard, but always manage to get turned in the wrong direction. Having him back up would even help some. I didn't switch the controls, probably should have done so. Luckily I have a gamepad and am used to doing stuff with my left hand.
What kind of magic spell to use?
