seems pretty decent for 400msp, enjoying it so far (only about 1hr in though)

edit

Scoot (or whatever his name is) needs shot, I am Scottish, and I can hardly make out a word he's saying...

+1 I have bitten the bullet and got it too. So far i,m really enjoying it tbh. There is some slowdown but its not that bad no worse than anything else I have played. Its actually quite good fun...

Shock Pc games look better than console..

Hydrophobia uses real time physics to generate the water which interacts with the enviroment the Pc games you have mentioned do not, running on a console its quite immpressive just a shame the rest of the game is not so.

how can it use proper physics if the person can run through water, something which is rather difficult? if they wanted to pay attention to 'physics' detail at least make sure you do a decent job of it..

Played this from xbox live, the water effects are pretty good but the game play is kind of stiff if i had to be honist.

If everygame was ultra realistic they wouldn't be much fun.. It uses realistic physics to simulate water flow in an enviroment that can be changed. Dont forget this is running on a 6 year old console.
