Newbie123 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'm starting to get caught up in the buzz about this game, it looks like it could be the first title to really show a massive difference of the original Xbox and PS2 generation.. Have a look at this video of some multiplayer action to see what I mean (warning it's a bit gory at the end for any younger browsers) This game is going to be superb on Live GOW Multiplayer game trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] It does doesn't it, and I think it will have the same effect on the 360 that halo had on the Xbox. Apparently you have a chainsaw attachment in the game to slice and dice enemies/opponents , you can't beat a bit of gore I foresee some TSN death matches in the coming weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snail Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Its apparently from the people who did the Unreal Series, so you can pretty much guarantee the online side of this game will rock. Im sure i read you can do pretty much the whole single player game co-op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldavo69 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I played this at the weekend at an XBOX360 roadshow in the metro centre at gateshead. Had to prove I was over 18, was given a wristband with a 15 minute time slot on it and stood in a special room away from young eyes. 8 players, 4 per team, 3 punters and 1 staff member per team. Awesome game, VERY gory, great graphics and gameplay. MUST BUY !!! Disco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingRed Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Played and completed it this weekend. Mostly ripping through it with a mate on co-operative mode (It's his copy). It's a fairly standard shooter, not particularly cerebral but good fun for a blast. Chainsaw attachment to the assault rifle is as good as you would expect. Its not a game for the little 'uns.

Turrican Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Got released in the US last week.... or he's changed the dvd drive firmware on his 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacingRed Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I'm in the US at the moment. It came out the end of last week, played it over the weekend. One word of advice steer well clear of easy mode, you won't get your money's worth. Cracking game mind you. I was partiularly impressed with the system for taking cover. Its a one button context specific system, very intuitive. You can even blind fire around corners by sticking the gun out and pulling the trigger.

Snail Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 My copy has just arrived from Play.....Can i go home now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Someone in the office has a 360 on their desk, so just had a quick play. It looks drop dead gorgeous, although the first level is very dark. The cover thing looks intuative too. I will undoubtedly be playing all night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Mine's sitting on my desk as well Apparently there are different graphic settings, one of which is "vibrant" if you find it a bit too dark for your screen. Can't wait to play it but I'm less than half way through COD3 at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snail Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I believe pretty much the whole single player campaign can be played Co-op, so if anyone sees me online over the weekend (highly likely ) then maybe we can go for some messy co-op gaming!
