Not sure how much they compare really, the Map is split up to like 20 islands, each one is pretty big, looks like there is plenty to do

Im just flying around atm - only been on it 20mins so early days

naa cant be, surely.

With a good enough PC, 360 always comes second best. :/

Yeah but it's a multi platform title so maybe the devs having had time to push the PC graphics.

I watched the video, and the PC did look terrible compared to the 360.

Which doesn't worry me as im all for the 360 version

just surprised the PC version looks so bad if thats max settings :eek:

IGN did mention the 360 version looking good in their review though, so maybe the PC version is that bad afterall

lol

The 360 version has better shadowing, HDR and richer colours?

It would seem so yes. I didnt' see ANY shadowing in the PC version. I'm not convinced that was max settings.

Too many games *Windle's Head Explodes*

It seems rather fun so far. I can see myself getting a little bored of it though. the first mission is great though. The music while you're skydiving is beautiful

"andy" · 22 Sep 2006 at 14:58

today i decide to go all out :Z

bought the new premium pack wich includes pgr and an extra wireless pad for 300 then the nice guys at game

let me buy just cause for 20quid, could have bought another game for 20 quid but my bank was empty by then :/

this game looks great on my 19"tft using the vga adapter

fun so far too but ive only played for about 30 mins.

one big annoyance is that the 360 sounds like a jet engine

ja3h · 22 Sep 2006 at 17:05

omg, the vid was good.

i didn't know that the pc version would look so bad in comparison!

the 360 looked amazing in comparison...i might have to sell off all my components and get a mac and get a 360 for games.

The pc version didn't seem to have any lighting source (like someone said) i gotta try out the full version of the game!

*note: overuse of the word comparison*

will update when i can get some screenshots
