I've only seen this game advertised on TV. Even on the advert, you can tell there's load of slowdown.

The game is nothing like that... in playing it I have noticed slight slowdwn once or twice but tbh its less so than other games. The demo however was shockingly bad.

yeah i've not much slow down even when your've blown few cars up and theres shrapnel everywhere still smooth .

Loads of slowdown on the advert, not even close to that on the game

The only slowdown i have experienced is on a Los Carnales racing mission on a very small 3 lap track (half of it is up a railway track) everytime you go passed the start line is was an absolute crawl, no idea why, the game is fine everywhere else.

Good to hear although it seems strange that the publishers would show an advert with so much slowdown in it.

You should always save before attempting a mission

Just bought this on a whim. My Mum was off into town so I asked her to pick this and dead rising up but alas dead risings not out till friday.

Anyways my impressions so far are good.This really is a GTA clone which IMHO isnt a bad thing. The graphics are nice but the draw distance is quite poor especily considering this is an xbox 360 game I expect better.

Right am off to play some more

p.s Love the way point system very handy for when you get lost

is there anything you can buy other than cars and guns/drugs/drinks?

i want something to invest in, like GTA style property investment.

Arrgghhh my copy still hasn't turned up from HMV, its a good job i got it cheap otherwise i'd be popping a cap in their ass about now. Don't think i'll be preordering from them again, i'll stick to Game/Gameplay. Sooo want to play this as well. :mad:

That was my thought too, I even said to my friend who was with me "How bad does that look! I won't be buying that now, it's just like the demo". On a whim I did and thankfully it's very smooth for the most part.

I learned my lesson when it took them 6 weeks to get Pro Evolution Soccer 5 to me. I'll never use them ever again.

Apparantly mine was dispatched on the Friday but I've had nothing yet.

I'm quite lucky though as I have had a copy from GAME since Thursday which I had originally requested be cancelled which didn't happen by mistake

. I will get my GAME copy refunded as long as the HMV copy turns up before the 10 day period.

I got previous HMV orders the middle of the next week after release. Would only use them if the games were cheap, and I wasnt too bothered about getting it early.

Last 2 orders I had from HMV turned up on the Saturday but, in either case, I wasn't really in a hurry for either game to arrive.

I'm happy to wait a few days for an order to arrive if I am saving on the full cost of an item. If it's any longer than the standard Royal Mail delivery times then I tend to get annoyed.

Proc · 4 Sep 2006 at 20:05

Mine said it was dispatched friday, but nothing as of yet. Was hoping to get it for the weekend just gone so i could have a good go on it. As TDU is coming this week, so much for that idea.

Oh well, gonna have to be a full weekend of gaming this week then.

HMV are based in Jersey so

slow and long way for a game to travel compared to GAME who are based near London and Gameplay who are based in Leeds.

If you want the game on release day use GAME or Gameplay.

Right, somebody on another forum has confirmed that the Vice King missions should continue after the "Crooked Cop/Coup" Mission. However, i have no more Vice King mission symbols and they still own territory. Anybody got any ideas?

You need to complete all the Vice Kings Strongholds before the final mission unlocks

Have you done all them?

Hitman Mission

Where is billy bob ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! help.....

suarve · 4 Sep 2006 at 21:18

Actually, don't know if its just me but i'm finding this game kinda boring now, its basically the same thing all the way through - and i aren't particulkarly impressed with the graphics either. I dunno, might just be me being picky but iv grown tired of this kida fast

Now if this was the case with another game id play it simply for the achievements as it bugs me not getting some of them, but imo 80% of the achievements in this game are there simply to make you play it more. bleh, end whine.
