A question for you all - which VIDEO GAME has your favourite in-game interface? That means UI, controls, everything. An interface that not only feels natural and good but immerses you in the game, makes play easy, AND makes you want to keep playing. Can be from any era.

@vampiress I'm probably alone in it, but the original move controls on Grim Fandango felt really natural to me, moving through the screen spaces and knowing exactly what Manny was going to go for next.

@jgilbert @vampiress I agree! We're in the minority. I think what it did with attention and head turning was amazing and natural with the movement. I think it was more a case of a trailblazing (dare I say glitchy) implementation of a very novel and good idea that made it a bit tough for everyone to like. Also - and I say this with love - the vehicle movement was glitchy even for its era...
