A Mediocre FPS

When I saw some photos of this game, I got curious and expected a good FPS game, something like Heretic or Doom. Unfortunately, I got dissapointed and got a mediocre FPS. I shut off the game before even completing the first level. The graphics and sound efects in the game are indeed impressive for it's time. But the things that really ruin the fun in the game are the controls. First of all, you walk so fast that you can barely control your character if you need to go to the left or to the right. If you have a mouse and think that you can aim with your mouse than you're wrong. The mouse just barely replaces the keyboard, the only difference is that the controls with the mouse are much worse. Another thing I hate about this game is the hit detection. It's so bad that you need to stick your character to the enemy in order to hit it. This is mostly unfair, because most of the enemies use long range attacks, while you can only attack them with melee weapons(swords, axes, maces etc.), and you will certainly get a lot of damage as you try to get closer to your enemy. Speaking of getting damage, there is nothing on the screen to tell you how much HP you got left. There's no Video options in the main menu either.All in all, Witchhaven 2 is a mediocre FPS game with great graphics and sound but horrible controls. I say to stick to Doom if you're an old school FPS lover. My final verdict is a 1.8 out of 5.
