Ok I wasn't going to buy it as I had never heard of it, but the flash site has me gripped alone lol

Got a busy weekend tho and still on forza so getting the time to play this could be tricky, especially as I wanted RES4 for Wii too

Only got to the subway section so far, but I haven't experienced one bit of slow down on the PS3 version and thats at 1080i.

Most impressive part for me so far was the TV that you can change channel on, that was amazing!

Im only a little further ahead than yourself on the 360 version and i've not came across any framerate drops at 720P.
The tv made me laugh watched the start of what appeared to be the first episode of Flash Gordon.

Hmm not really impressed by this game..too easy to get killed and difficult to get any sort of proper aim...mind u playing on the hardest level so that might have something to do with it.

But really in all honesty its not a very good game, nothing really outstanding..was kinda hoping it would be like condemned but in all fairness doesnt come close.

Btw how the **** do you save games on this damn game...every freakin time i get killed i have to start at the beginning where the lifts are...stupid really that u cant save certain parts or it doesnt have an auto save function. Really badly lets this game down...anyways thats my opinion on it and ive been playing it for the past few hrs and i havent been at all impressed by it..graphics or gameplay.

Just another run of the mill type shoot'em up...doesnt really offer anything new. Giving it another few days and if i still dont like it then its definitely being traded in along with that crap game they call Dirt...supposedly a rally type game but more like a steaming pile of dog****..

Logsi · 29 Jun 2007 at 01:51

Lower the difficulty and play with a clear head.

You'll like it, i think it's awesome. Definitely not run of the mill at all. Probably one of the most immersive games i have ever played!

Stick with it!

Great game, loving it atm ^^

Abooie · 29 Jun 2007 at 07:59

Really want this but as I've family over until Monday I'm trying to wrangle it out of Lovefilm... so far it's not looking promising. Darn it, I just know I'll end up buying it today! Thing is I want Call of Juarez as well!

It does get a bit better the more you get into it. I was feeling same when I first started playing it. Also try adjusting the controls in the options, increase free look and set sensitive X/Y to the same level.

The game autosaves at check points, so never had a issue with it.

As for DiRT, well done... It's a horrid game.

Only available on import at the mo.

I was going to buy the game but I'm very picky with FPS games, they have to be a bit special otherwise I find them boring. I think I'll leave this or at least wait for a demo.

ScarySquirrel · 29 Jun 2007 at 10:23

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.
