I see...well you can pick it up for £20 which isn't too bad for a brand new game...my give this a go.

Bollox, got distracted earlier and missed out on bagging the game for 16 quid on ebay!

I got it for Christmas and thought it was so-so tbh. It looks great and there are some really good bits but it's very frustrating. You die a lot. It reminds me of an old platform game - attempt, die, repeat until you do it and then move onto the next bit, die there etc. Also it doesn't make enough of its strengths, not enough free flowing bits - why spend that long crawling through air vents for example?

Why has this dropped to £18 on PS3 / XBOX and still £26 on PC (angry).
Especially given console games prices usually start a good £10-15 more than PC anyway.

I'm quite happy to go out and buy a game (for a change), and they taunt me like this.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yeah I noticed that, a few games have dropped recently...

 

[dogmatique]

I guess no-one's buying it for the ps3, and there are still plenty of people willing to pay for the xbox version.

Small overstocked captive market / big popular captive market.

Personally

I.just.can't.get.into.it.

Could be wrong but I find it dull, dull, dull. Gimmie a fucking gun, NOW.

 

[Structaural]

I've played a few hours of it on PS3 - I didn't get on with it, though it looks lovely. I don't like FPSs with a PS3 controller - it's not quick enough to change the view, bit like patting your head and rubbing your stomach. Would be nicer if there was a 'follow the character' camera. Probably a lot better on the PC with a mouse.

I'm pretty impressed so far, came through from lovefilm a couple of days ago and so far so good.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Sainsbury are selling this for £15 (360) at the mo...didnt realise lovefilm rents games...might have to check em out.

 

[Daniel]

Damn £15 is pretty cheap.

I've had to turn it off now, I was getting annoyed with dying It was fun when I first started playing, and still is pretty fun when I manage to string together a good run, but dying is frustrating

Yeah lovefilm are one of the best online rental peeps I've used, a quick turn around. Sent on Tuesday, and got my game on Thursday, then Friday and then this morning. So I've got some kids games to play aswell

I pay £18 for unlimited rentals of films and games, and can have 3 at a time. Tis good cos I can get blurays for the PS3 as well as my 360 games.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

That's pretty decent...

[Kid_Eternity]

Ah got it working now cheers! Have qued up a load of games.

 

[Boycey]

just picked this up for a tenner and done the first chapter- it fucking rocks

a few bits have had me stuck but once you start to get the flow of the game you just run, jump and bounce your way through.

nice sound track too

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Yeah tempted by this, Play.com are selling it for £8.70...

 

[Boycey]

nice sound track too

i finished the game yesterday and am forced to warn you off the music in the closing credits. fucking dire.

loved the mechanics of the game, took me till the last level to realise that you can pick up weapons of cops you've knocked out

thought i was in for the "test of faith" award after some clever manuevers but wound up shooting my way out in the end

is there an award for crap story telling? rihanna pratchett deserves one. the game was beautifully rendered and it flows from level to level brilliantly- the story line just doesn't match the rest of the game.

"the atrium" before you pick up the sniper rifle = fucking mind bending

 

[Fruitloop]

I loved this a lot. A really different playing experience to a lot of the games around, excellent controls and amazing design. The story is a bit arse but who cares.
