That's as far as I've made it, haven't tried MP yet.

im pretty darn far on it now though saying that, gets really good.

I've only played a few hours of MP but I can say that it sometimes reminds me of playing on Counterstrike (or any FPS game) with teamkillers.

It's like the developers thought to themselves "how can we make teamkilling legit?".

Im stuck, and i think it may be a bug. Im at the bit where lynch has the woman on his back, he wont follow me up to the top with her, he did the first time, when she woke up, am i doing something wrong? Its very frustrating.

Ah, where do i get that?

No matter - it was a bug, i replayed it and this time they moved, they were stuck at the bottom the stairs last time.

I just got this yesterday and started to play it this evening. I can see what you all mean when you talk about the poor controls. I'm at the bit where you need to get on the subway and keep getting killed because I can't shoot all the SWAT guys in time, mostly due to the crappy controls.

It's a good enough game with a decent story so far but the controls are really starting to annoy me now.

I beg to differ, it really is a pain in the ass to aim quickly or to shift your aim behind you etc. Also, in the heat of the moment if you're holding down L1 to crouch, L2 to aim, pressing R2 to fire and using the right stick to shift your view, it's far too easy to press R3 and open the weapon inventory mid shot. It could be so much better.

Good game though.

dont need to hold the crouch button, press it once to crouch then press it again when you want to stand up

Got this today, its quite good, tho aiming is a little hard! Only on chapter 7 or 8 where you have to protect lynch with the sniper rifle. Only been playing multiplayer co-op, is single player any different? Do you just choose who you want to be or does the characters alternate throughout the game?

the control system on this is unforgivably bad, ruins the game.

Im going to have to try fiddle with the settings or its going on marketplace.

Wht not copy gears of war for gods sake, that was perfect.

Bengaboy · 3 Dec 2007 at 14:51

I thought this game was crap tbh. It might get better, but me and me mate got up to the sniper level on co-opand up until then I didnt think much of it...

The storys pretty good, but the game is arse. Might be worth completing though.

Didnt have the heart to tell me mate his new game is rubbish!! So I kept mentioning that this game is "pretty good" lol

Having played it for a few hours last night I threw in the towel and have confined the game to the back of the shelf. The control system really is crap. I played with the settings for about an hour trying to get it to an acceptable level but it's just a complete pain in the ass.

Great story and it has the potential to be a great game. It's a pity they made an arse of the controls.

wait til it goes over the ditch the 1st time, then a 2nd time, then nail him in the face.

Exactly what I did

Just stay in the ditch turned out to be the easiest way for me, it was very annoying. When he drives over you wait till he turns round for his return pass then unleash the fury on the windscreen and then his face.

Also press Y on the front of the digger so Lynch shoots at him too.
