[quote name='Strider Turbulence']I found AOD to be simply unplayable in this day and age.[/quote]
I actually played AOD all the way through last year and found it to be not nearly as bad as everyone says it is. It seems to have become fashionable in recent days to rag on the TR series, but last year's AOD was nowhere near as bad as Charlie's Angels for GCN or Drake of the 99 Dragons for Xbox.
It's sort of like the developer was experimenting with AOD to see what direction they should try next since they'd gotten stale and complacent where they were. Yes, they screwed up some things that weren't broke before, but the new control system wasn't that bad if you actually took the time to get used to it.
