As much as the Redux features improve the look of the game, it is still a poor third person cover shooter with terrible controls. It's a real shame because the story covers the origin of the Rogue Trooper quite faithfully up to a point. Later parts of the story diverge from that somewhat. I own the original version of the game and played it through to the end, I doubt I will bother again. Why the controls are bad- -You will find yourself welded to cover at inconvenient moments -Forget the precision you get in modern first and third person shooters, often times you will have to spray and pray -Almost every action is slow, innacurate and unresponsive -Throwing grenades uses a thoroughly inconvenient targetting system which is also a pain to aim, instead of just lobbing the damn thing! -All these painful inaccuracies will have you wasting precious ammo, which is limited and needs to be crafted from gathered items In summary, the controls seemed pretty bad in the original release but in this redux version not fixing them for a modern audience is unforgivable. Unless you really REALLY like the Rogue Trooper comics and can tolerate terrible controls, avoid this game.
