Right finally preordered this, not the special edition and don't think I even get any of the unlocks since purchased from Tesco direct.

Although if the game doesn't arrive on release day I will buy a retail copy and then return the tesco copy when it arrives

It'll still be sealed so there's nothing morally wrong in doing that btw, before anyone jumps on me.

Don't really know much about this game except it's getting rave reviews and being likened to GTA in the Wild West. Is it exactly the same in terms of gameplay? A single-player story where you ride around on your horse completing missions, etc.?

What reviews is it getting rave reviews in? I haven't seen a review yet?

 

[ColdAsIce]

I don't think the barcode will be different. Fairly sure bottles of Coke for example all carry the same barcode.

Ahh. Thats ok then. Never paid much attention to this stuff before

GamesTM gave it 9/10
GamesInformer gave it 9.75/10

Leaked scans of both review copies are available online

Awsome. I'll go have a look. The more I read about it the more I'm looking forward to it. I hadn't heard of it until a week or so ago when a mate told me :O

I really don't know whether to get this for the PS3 or 360... based on the fact it's made by Rockstar I'm edging slightly towards the 360 due to the whole 360 version of GTA IV being better than the PS3 version in terms of Frame rates and colouration episode back in 2008.

I also think this is going to be one of those games where the friends list, invites, and party mode will shine.

Does offline play affect online play experience and level wise ?

I'm really impressed at the effort RockStar has put into this, interview about how they modeled & mo-capped the horses http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/gamespace/updates.php?pid=957923&sid=6261863&mode=previews

Is it worth paying the extra £12 for limited edition? Seems to just come with a few in game items and a soundtrack?

Awesome thread title

Reading the review, this is sounding better than I even imagined!

What a game world!

I love you Rockstar.

Any clues as to better versions? 360 or PS3?

Doesn't look like there are any comparisons of versions yet then?

 

[beachBOYken]

if this is like a gta in the wild west can you run people over with your horse and cart

Yes.
