Great Port, Not-So-Great Controls
The title pretty much sums it up, but I’ll go into a bit of detail anyway. The port itself is very good and a nice piece of nostalgia for anyone who was around to play the original release on DOS. If you have a Bethesda account, you can download a [rather limited] selection of add-ons, from TNT Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment to SIGIL and No Rest for the Living, to keep you entertained after you finish the main game. The only thing that takes away that fifth star is the controls; the buttons you use to fire your weapon and interact with your surroundings are small and difficult to press consistently while you’re focused on the game. Even the thumbstick is somewhat mediocre—the THUMBSTICK, for crying out loud. To walk, you have to move the thumbstick only a bit, because if you move it more than halfway forward, you switch into a full-on sprint, and not everyone likes to move faster than they can say “What in the devils!?” All in all, the port is great, just fix the lackluster controls and you’ll have a perfect five stars.
