With gameplay that moves so quickly, it’s not surprising that the controls are very simple. Each of the game’s nine weapons has a primary (right trigger) and secondary (left) fire mode, and there are three buttons dedicated to shuffling between them. You can also crouch, jump and melee your opponents, though hand-to-hand feels more like luck at these speeds. Selecting the game’s signature mutators is done quickly with the d-pad. Of special note is the game’s incredibly fun jetpack controls, which allow you to climb, descend and hover with ease.

He’ll give you headaches from time to time, but is generally doing enough to be owned in all formats.

Where the game stumbles is with dodging and shooting “from the hip.” Dodging is pulled off with the left bumper (which also enables sprinting) and if timed correctly you’ll duck away from a blow in slow motion. Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately, the timing feels very inconsistent, and since the punishment for a mistimed attempt is taking a pounding, it’s best reserved as a last resort (as opposed to a regular part of your defensive repertoire).
