Hi, Yeah, I understand why you would ask for an easy to use user interface, but sometimes that isn't always possible if the game character needs to do allot of things. For example a 3D FPS game may require the player to jump in any direction, climb, walk, run , crouch, crawl, stand, etc.All in the same game to get around the 3D world. In Tomb Raider I find the keyboard commands a bit donting as you have a huge number of moves you can do with Lara Croft, and each one has it's own advantages in the game. For example, you may need to crouch and then crawl in a small passage to get into the next room. You have to jump up onto a ledge to get the rope which you have to climb to get to a door way high above you. You have to swim across an underground lake to find a special item on the other side. As a result you end up with tuns of keyboard commands, modifications of each other, but the game is incredibly fun, ritch, and nothing like we have in the audio game market. I suppose I could dumb it down that the same keys do the proper action if you encounter a specific item like lake, rope, etc, but that isn't quite the same.
