"Bringing up the scan visor was about the only really awkward thing for me. You have to hold down the - button, look up, and then you enter scan mode and that just seemed a little funny."

I actually don't like the sound of that much, sounds counter-intuitive.

I'm sure it'll still kick ass though, not that I'll know anytime soon, living in Europe dag nammit!!

 Yeah, every time I had to scan it was just a little odd.  I imagine after a few times you would get use to it but for the little bit I played it always took me an extra second or two to scan things because I would always forget to look up.

The more I think about it the less I like it, having to look up in certain situations could spell disaster. I also think that it's an easy scape goat for reviewers looking to mark the game down for any old reason, in this case they could have a point.

I'll wait to play it though, knowing Retro it won't be as awkward as I'm imagining.

It sounds to me as if you are imagining that samus looks up when selecting the visor, but i believe it is actually a 'freezed' camera turn moment as soon as the '-' key is being held, it honestly seems fine to me

Thanks for the impression twestern, reaffirmed my want for this game, which will be released here in ohhh about 90 days [rocks back and forth in fetal position]
