Combine that with the character's lumbering walking speed, and you'll find it hard to keep playing for longer than twenty minutes at a time. You don't get sent back to the end of the level if you die, but you'll need to repeat several rooms in order to proceed. There's also no way to get around the game's frustrating checkpoints. Jamming on side buttons rather than the right trigger feels like a mistake that there's no way to fix. Still, in no world should you have your main attack be on a bumper in a first-person game.
