It works for me.

SR has no hype, that's the problem. If it's a good game, there's no need to worry about it getting 'killed' by reviews...

Well, it could be that they didn't want a big openning. Since it's multiplayer game, one's experience is heavily dependent on what other people are doing. Getting constantly TK'ed by noobs is no fun, no matter how good the game is. Makes sense to let it slowly find its audience.

I played hours last night and this morning as with many other pc players, I believe its an error on the IGN side. From what I could tell (at least in the servers I was on) the pc and 360 slit was pretty close, although I do expect the game to sell better on the 360.

But then there are dumb omissions, like the way that they didn't bother to include any kind of climbing animation--so when characters go up ladders, they do so locked in their standing position with no movement whatsoever.

That has to look pretty bad. On overall it seems like this should have been a budget game.

The three smaller, attrition-only maps are for eight-player games, and they're actually smaller versions of some of the existing maps, which feels like a rip-off, considering there are only nine original maps to choose from.

So it is basicly just 6 maps?

So it is basicly just 6 maps?

I read it as 12 maps, 3 of them are based on 9 larger maps. But its not worded nicely.

A 101-man team for the Xbox version, 3.5 years.... 9 complete maps...

Something just doesn't add up.

Wow that's sucktastic!

Hmm, after watching some videos and screenshots it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Gameplay seems stiff as do the animations. Graphics looks simple and old as does the effects. //my opinion

As usual I couldn't care if they rated this game a 3 on reviewing it. Best $60 I've spent on a game in a long time, and I've barely scratched the surface on learning how to play this game. Also, playing on a nice HDTV, graphics are not nearly as bad as people make them out to be. This game is a sleeper just like Chronicals (sp?) of Riddick.

D.O.A

This game is a sleeper just like Chronicals (sp?) of Riddick.

No, Riddick actually got good reviews.

 

[Todd33]

Sounds like the content/cost ratio is too low, if I could DL now for $30 I probably would. There is no need to make this a DVD game, it's not like people who don't have Live are going to buy it for the training missions.

Or it adds up in a way that, more maps will be on the marketplace in a shortly fashion, probably costing some MS points initially.

Wow. What a turd.

Those enviroments have ploycounts along the lines of the orignal Quake and the slopped on textures look like something out of custom maps made by a child. WTF?
