All this bashing of Houdini being so difficult...yeah, the shots are "challenging"...keeps me coming back for more, improves my "marksmanship" and Lord knows, I need it...I play the game often and expect it will reside in my collection for quite some time. As to the animation...in my opinion it is spot on perfect. It reflects the animation of the time Houdini existed...obviously this was intentional. I think Houdini is a good machine, I like it...it has a lot going on.

Ok, "bashing" may have been the wrong word to use...I am just following the comments and many comments are about how tight/difficult the shots are or how bad the geometry is...there have been many posters who have mentioned this...hard not to see this as a negative. The whole point of my post was to show MY support for Houdini despite these comments.
