Great game, controls leave a bit to be desired.

I am really enjoying this game. Great gameplay, story, nice RPG elements and character growth, and of course I love zombies. Lots to like. I never had an XBox so playing on the mac was my first experience with the game. The reviewer who cited the poor controls is spot on though - any attempt to change keybindings doesn’t last when I restart the game, and some of the controls are not single-button / magic mouse friendly. The stair climbing bug was also carried over in this port, where sometimes your character will keep falling down a set of steps and cannot climb them. I didn’t find either of these issues to be showstoppers though - I only had to rebind a few keys, and if I leave the game paused and alt-tabbed I can always come back to it later without needing to restart. Really fun game and definitely worth the $$. I have spent more money for crappier games.
