Tempted to buy this through boredom but I think I might just wait until LoveFilm can get it to me. Only just signed up with them so no experience oh how quick they are at getting new releases to you. I expect it will take ages.

The canadian store? Arrives in 4-5days max.

Huh? No I am talking about LoveFilm and how long it will take them to get a rental copy to me

I love the phone messages, the emergency number one had me in stitches.

I think i'll leave this game alone, not really a great fan of FPS games on consoles :-/

I would rather save the pennies for NG:S next week

Tbh id say no but then its really up to you, like i said im not that impressed with the game itself. Controls seem a bit clunky to me.

If you can get it on rental then get it but i wouldnt waste £40 on it tbh...its really not that good imho. Luckily for me i got mine for £35 but still dont think it was or is worth it.

Just my opinion though.

Just bought this - really excited and I've been following the progress of the game for a while. Can't wait to have a mess about after work! Woop woop!

TheDean · 29 Jun 2007 at 13:51

I don't see how really. There is a postal strike today

Bloodshot · 29 Jun 2007 at 14:39

I started playing this last night and I'm really enjoying it - really immersive and the controls feel spot on.

It's nice to be hearing a lot of good reviews. So far I think only 1 person has said they don't like it which is good

Just got it, Tesco for 34.74

Bargain. I just got mine for £40. Not bothered about a fiver really....feeling flush atm and no idea why! lol

Seems like a brilliant game so far. Reminds me a lot of Deus Ex with the settings and the way you interact with things/people.

My only gripes are the gunplay seems a little clumsy, as does movement.

Seriously?

Deus Ex is like my favorite game ever!! i was going to hold out for a second hand copy, but this might be the killer.

Ripper · 29 Jun 2007 at 18:04

Well yeh, in the way thats its a gritty new york setting, subways and the like. Side missions here and there which add towards achievements and to unlock extra content. People to talk to as you walk around, items to interact with. It's not a million miles away from deus ex really, but obviously nowhere near as good.
