You gotta play it in first-person. The controls are fine then, even though if you look at it as a first-person shooter, it's pretty bad. Actually, it's pretty bad no mater what you consider it but I still love it. I also love Friday the 13th for NES so my taste in games isn't exactly the best. But that "cinematic" changing camera angle system was one of the worst things ever in video games and it should NEVER be played that way. But anyway, Shadows of the Empire = thumbs up. Nintendo should negotiate for LucasArts to make a sequel for Wii. It'll suck twice as bad and I'll love it twice as much.
