I'm assuming your playing it at the higher difficulty where they don't
spider-sense telegraph their attacks. As you say it's so different to just
pounding buttons; not only do you have to watch the guy you're pummeling,
but those closing in on you and even those further away who might be
pulling something off the wall to throw at you or trying to open a weapons
locker.
It's also nice to have the group pile on you rather than the polite "after
you; no after you" discourse that seems to go on between groups of
enemies. Just because you're slamming that guys head onto the floor
doesn't stop someone from trying to kick you.
The only thing about the controls that bothered me on the PS3 version was
the special moves that required you to hit two face buttons at the same
time; I hate those.
