Honestly, I overlook the so-called bad controls.
The only part of the controls that Alone in the Dark fails on, is third person.
Usually like most games where you see your character in full body on screen, you would use the left analog to make him move forwards, backwards and strafe left and right.
While using the right analog to move the camera right and left, allowing you to turn correctly.
That is not the case here.
Left analog is used for both maneuvering forwards, backwards, left and right.
Whilst the right analog simply let's you tilt the camera left and right. (And when pressed in, gives you a view of the area behind you) Same in a vehicle.
Aaall that can be easily avoided though, by pressing ''Y'' and going into first person :)
Then you get your standard shooter controls.
Now the vehicles, the driving in this game isn't that bad either,
it's no walk in the (central) park, but it's not horrible. (See what I
did there?)
The brake is the reverse (As far as I know) and you will encounter three actual driving missions in the game.
That's the only problem I had, as the first is devastatingly
unforgivable, example: If you die RIGHT at the end of the first driving
level.. it's right back to the start of that level heh.
A good 6 or 7 tries and I had it, embarrassing yes.
The second can be quite a toughy also, but certainly not as difficult as the first, and the third is real easy.
As for the story, I loved it.
The whole game plays out like a series as when you select "Continue" on the main menu, you'll hear the main character's voice say: "Previously, on Alone in the Dark"
Proceeding from there it then shows you the various cutscenes you've watched (Shortened) and also shows actual gameplay footage of yourself
I found that whole episodic introduction very intuitive.
Oh and it's all skippable by the way, to those who wanna get straight to the game.

Anyways, those are my thoughts
All in all, I picked this game up at my local game store for £10.00.
I got it very recently and it's quite dated now heh.
And for all those achievement hunters out there, myself included, this
is a fun, not overwhelmingly challenging, not too easy of a game, and a
very full, enjoyable 1000 Gamerscore =D
I'll also add I just last night got all 1000G, and I would love to offer advice to those struggling.
Graphics - 7.5 / 10 (For the time of release)
Gameplay - 6.5 / 10 (Not amazing, not terrible, just above half way)
Story - 8.5 / 10 (Best part in my opinion)
Value - 10 / 10 (At £10.00, Why not?)

"What?"
"That, the 'Z' word"
"What Zombie?"
"Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because it's ridiculous.."
