And not for me (after reading quite a bunch of players reviews).

TWitching battles
+ short game (2 days on hard mode for someones)
+ gamepad orientation (and overall consolitish UI)
+ lazy programming*.

mmm... just no.

*lazy programming:
a) to change a game setting (screen resolution, hotkey, etc.) you need to close the game,
launch Configurator, make your changes, save, and launch the game again.
Shit, the calendar shows 2011AD!
b) only widescreen support.
c) absence of jumping - yeah, they call it "3D" game, but be it smallest plunk
or step and you are stuck. Correspondingly invisible walls everywhere.
