finally got a 360

hardkore · 6 Nov 2006 at 10:23

Just got a 360 for my 18th birthday present and im enjoying it so far. The only game i got with it was Splinter Cell Double Agent. The game looks amazing but ive been trying to like it for the past 2 hours but i despise that game. Played the original on xbox1 and didnt like it, thought things might have changed but oh well.

Just wondering what do you think i would get for SC if i trade it in? I'm hoping to pick up saints row as i love that game

Trade it for Pro Evo 6? It depends on what sort of games you like.

PS: don't be suprised if your XBox 360 like many others on the forums encounters a problem.

Enjoy mate.

Yea been looking at getting a 360 for ages and read all the horror stories and i got my parents to keep all the proof of purchase etc.

Footy games really arn't my scene, Saints row for me. Played it for a hour on my mates 360 and loved it :cool:

I would go with Saints Row, I have it, its a great game. Theres plenty to do in it as well to keep you occupied. The explosions in it are fun to watch as well, makes blowing up innocent civillians cars even more satisfying!

Aiye, I've been playing Double Agent at the moment, and my God I'm hating it. Everything just feels so clumsy

Shame, considered I loved the first two, and the co-op on the 3rd (why didn't they do the same sort of co-op on the 4th?!)

You might be able to do a straight swap on the MM.
If you know where you bought it from then you might be able to return the game and swap it for something else instead.

Agreed. I think goodness I managed to buy it before game stopped it's 10 day return policy so I could take it back. The game felt so awkward, I died several times because it just felt to clumsy. Adding to the insult is a somewhat "trial and error" gameplay. I really wanted to like tha game, it just didn't happen I am afraid.

Splinter Cell games have always been like that I think, and I don't like them either. For some reason they seem to be very popular though

In my opinion, the first SC game basically laid each task infront of you. The solution to the problem was normally quite obvious (go down the steps, jump onto balcony and shimmy accross for example), but the fun was executing it and timing it all right.

The new one seems that it just sticks you in a situation which you don't know how to resolve. Then the only way to get past it is by doing what Dark Angel says - trial and error. Sort of takes the fun out of it where almost every encounter involves a reload.

Have GameStation stopped the policy as well as Game?

I bought this too and returned it.

Gears of war is out friday after next. I dont know what to recommend in the mean time. THere are plenty of good games, dead rising kameo, pgr3 etc but really none are complete must haves over the others. Though I must admit I am not very far through Dead rising and at the mo it seems a bit dull, but Ive read its a bit poo at first.
