Here's a 5-part review. Unfortunately, it's broken after part 2:

I also noticed this sentence in another review:

The PC Gamer issue with the South Park Cover issue and Half-Life review (last month released), also includes a Trespasser review and Trespasser strategy guide.

Has anyone read that one? Any interesting screenshots there?

Well, I just decided to give it another try, and found those ones which for some reason hadn't been available when I last checked... (server didn't respond back then, or something).

A shame that the 5 part review is broken. From what I read it was a very good review for the game, they were correctly naming all the highs and lows of the game...

The biggest...problem feature that reviewers describe is about controlling Anne,the first time i played it.......i had absolutely no trouble what so ever........but still they review it as being impossible or difficult....it is so damn easy.dont know why they feel like it is so difficult to move Anne around

Apparently, what happens is that it's actually an incomplete mirror of another site, http://www.review-zone.com, which is currently defunct. So I'm hunting for the preserved remains of that one right now.

Great job machf!

Edit: Yeah, your right Asjad. The controls aren't that bad... They do look confusing but are in fact not that bad at all.

I agree. When I first played trespasser, the only problem I had with controling Anne was to whirl around and get my gun pointed at the dinosaur's head fast enough.

I think that the problem with the majority of game reviews is that they don't take the time to immense themselves into the gameplay. They play it really quick, and don't take the time to familiarize themselves with the controls. So of course it's going to seem wierd.

The controls took a little time to getting use to, but after the Beach I was fine.
