Remember this one. I agree, the controls take time to get use to. Just think small increments. Good game, but Zeewolf was a better experience.

A classic 3D game - if mouse controls don't appeal, try the keyboard instead.

The game is not easy but one gets used to the controls after a while.

Great fun - I still love this a lot!
