Anyone played HP 5 in CD rom in your computer? Advice?

I bought the first 4 and they were ok (Electronic Arts) especially number 4. But this one I didnt buy it after reading the disappointing reviews in Amazon and Ebay. Everyone, wiht no exception, said that the controls were aweful and that the characters seemed robotic and you couldnt caste the spells properly. Reasd the reviews before buying it, and if you still want to buy it, go to EBay where people are selling this 24 dollar game at 5 dollars or less as they want to get rid of it!
