EGM is around 7.0-8.5

Looks like the game runs solid though, so no lag issues like BFMII.

The game runs incredibly smoothely relative to LOTR on the 360, which I thought ran god awful. I've had some fun w/ it and I was beginning to give up on this genre.

How long is it taking you guys to get used to the controls? I've only had a chance to play the demo once (for about an hour), and the controls were tough. But, I feel like I could get used to them over time - what's the general feeling here?

Actually after the first hour of the demo I was about to put it down for good.
Over the next 3 hours I had a blast and thought the controls were fairly simple.
I have not played this genre in 10 years and I skipped the training level so I think that says something as to what they have accomplished with the controls.

I picked it up right away because LOTR-BFME had the same basic set-up. :D I'm amazed how intuitive the controls are. After NBA Street Homecourt and C&C... I actually feel good about EA again. :eek:

I just picked up the game from gamestop. I've played the demo like 3 times so i'd know what i'm doing when I got the retail version. It really is a brilliant control scheme, and I'm pretty damn good with it! Can't wait to play this game in 46" HD brilliance.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll hit the demo a few more times before picking up the full version, but it sounds like it's worth putting in a little extra time to master the controls.

I know what you mean Tralfaz - I've been down on EA for a while. But Homecourt totally rocked, and with C&C finally on a console, maybe they're finally working overtime and making things happen.

I was going to buy some shares ATVI, maybe i'll just add to my ERTS instead.
