I thought the options WERE organized very effiectively, as best as can be expected when you aren't using a mouse to change them at any rate. It CERTAINLY is a much better alteration than Halo or TS2 though. Having to go back to the main menu just to adjust your own game, rather than PD's ability to customize even the premade games RIGHT there at that menu, just gets annoying. Yes I understand how having lots of options badly organized can be frustrating, but as I said, I thought they were well organized. All the things you could want to adjust are on one simple menu. It's actually like an expanded GE menu really. It's got level select, character select, and all the other options. You didn't have to move all over all sorts of different menus or anything. If it was weapon selection, the one thing I can actually imagine taking a while, use one of the premade weapon setups. There's plenty enough and you can select them as quickly as in GE.
Sorry, I still don't see the problem. The only way that menu could have been more organized is if it was mouse driven, which it won't be.
Oh, and lest I forget, I loved how the character you picked had more than just size to it. Bigger meant faster and smaller meant slower, so you couldn't just be the shortest character and have full advantage ala GE. You would have the bad point of moving slower as well. I tended to pick a medium size character (like my body/head combo that looks very much like James Bond), but some, such as lazy for instance, always picked Mr. Blonde since he was the fastest character.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
