Question PC Gameplay is terrible

I used to play TRU on PS3, but today I wondered how would it be like if I tried it on PC (honestly, I was just curious to compare the graphics, that's all), but after I bought it, it started getting glitchy. Lara would hit every wall around her and stop at a certain point without me being able to move her for a couple of seconds. Is it just me or this happens to everyone?

Firstly, I think you need to clarify what you meant when you said you downloaded it

From my experience of Underworld on the PC, I had no problem after the patch was released. It was a little slow in places for me because my old PC wasn't completely up to spec, but apart from that it was fine.

I haven't installed the patch yet, I forgot completely about it.

Weird, Underworld works fine for me on my laptop.
Even though, I have to lower all graphics.
I don't really know why I bought underworld on PC even though I have the PS3, trilogy versions. (also PS2 one)
That means I have Underworld like 4 times.
Anyway, you better get the patch.

The major flaw in the gameplay it's the camera, it will give you a lot of troubles

Enjoy the game

I had no problems with Underworld on PC. The camera was, however, a bit annoying from time to time but nothing really major. Don't forget the patch and hope you enjoy the game!

The only issue I really had was the camera during combat when I locked on a target, it'd freak out.

I would usually play the game with the WASD keys and use my right hand for the mouse to control the camera. Tried to leave the camera alone for one whole play through. Made the game aproxi 325.67% harder.

Use an Xbox 360 controller, problem solved!

Without the patch you can't configure the mouse. I use the mouse to move forward, shoot and look around. It works well that way.

I also use Z and X to shimmy on walls and ledges, Shift to jump, C to crouch, L for light, space bar to deploy the grapple (Mouse to aim), and E for switches and such.
