demo experience
The controls were an integral part of the original System Shock's lasting impression and appeal. with those removed and replaced with the same controls found in every other First person shooter/adventure game, there is no reason to play it instead of dozens of other immersive sims that do everything infinitely better. no longer can you lean in a perfect angle and shoot at the corner of the screen after detaching cursor. no longer can you manually grab and throw grenades. manually adjusting the notches of energy weapons to perfectly melt away mutants is gone as well. no longer do I feel like a cyberman battling an entire space station. just another weakling trying to get by.
