So why are you all excited? gotta admit the screens look pretty good.. is there some new innovation in the game that sets it apart from the other countless clones out there?


Well, it´s hard to describe, it´s just so damn good. It´s realistic as hell but yet unrealistic in another kind of way that makes it enjoyable to play. The gameplay is amazing and it looks even better than the games on the Xbox360.


Thanks for the reply - dont usually grab this sort of game but im sold.. loved half life 2 and if you say its similar im up for it

Damn sod all to d/l for months and months.. now ive got this and Grandia 3 all in one day Razz

who cares about the propaganda?

If the game is good lets play it!! Its an american company, they will obviously make americans out to be the heroes. I don't really care whether i'm playing as a yank, or a Brit, so long as i'm capping our common enemies.

Regarding propaganda, it´s pretty weird that you can´t play as a Nazi in any FPS like Call of Duty 2. It seems that playing as a Soldier of Stalin is allright, but not one of Hitlers, that´s kind of wrong in my opinion since Stalin was far worse than Hitler was.

That is so true but you'll never see that happening...Jewish associations will be all over the game companie and sueing their asses...like they tried to do to the team of Day of Defeat few years ago

Well, completed BLACK on Normal difficulty now and i must say this is the best Xbox game i´ve ever played! I can´t find one single negative thing to say about this game, best FPS ever made...Period! The only "negative" is that the game is really short, took me 6 hours to beat it but i rarely get stuck in these kinds of games. I will surely replay this on Hard when the NTSC version with 480p is released ^_^ Now, over to Grandia III !

I'm sorry, but, I don't think anyone really wants to play as a nazi soldier...
And, Hitler was the worse. period.

You should think about creating a bat file that automatically replies in each and every thread here.

"[Insert game name regarding thread title] on [insert console name] is the best [insert console name again] game and best [insert genre here] I've ever played!"

Seriously, I lost count of how many times I've seen you posting stuff like this here within the last weeks. You're the only person I won't rely on. At all. It's just boring.

Far too much time on your hands methinks. You may need to get out more.

I second the above post, you seem to relish over-exaggerating the new games, and you always seem to want to be one of the first to do everything.

I had a mate like you at school in 1990, he said he had Rocky 7 and Rambo 5 on pirate videos.

Does anyone get what i'm subtly hinting at? Wink

nahh running it from dvd. Using hi-def pack. Very very strange. Will reset xbox back to pal and put scart lead back in.

looks like you need different media try any ritek dvd-r
grabbed mine from newsgroup so pretty much sure you grabbed same one as me & one i got works fine,im using different newsserver but i guess this shouldnt matter if you got all files down complete
also try using either recordnow or dvddecrypter to burn it to dvdr I only use these 2 for burning xbox,dont know what software your using but a lot of people use nero i found this gave me problems with booting up xbox games
i got my pal xbox set to ntsc mode using hi def pack with no problems m8 so ntsc or pal mode should be fine

well

I am playing on hard

if you play it properly on a hard difficulty setting, then it should last alot more than 6 hours Smile

So, does this game have a good story..? Conspiracy, interesting characters, cutscenes and stuff..? Or is it only shooting, shooting and more shooting.

*note: good and nicely done story for me means MGS series, bad and poorly done story means HL2, Splinter Cell series.

yup works here as well...

pretty nice. mangled myself thru the border. ai is not too smart though.

one nice touch is that custom music is available.

the game is not THAT fantastic. i see this as a game i only play in small dozes. once i die i go and do something else and try the level again later on. if it was a total awesome game obviously i would retry once i die. maybe some of it might have to do with that i have to replay the whole level. im way to spoiled with quicksaves. hmmm, maybe this is a good thing. Wink

i have some problems hitting ai soldiers too, which i usually never have. sometimes this leeds to akwards situations, like lets say im running toward a guy and we end up dancing around eachother, shooting rounds at eachother without anyone dying. hmmm, reminds me of that knight in holy grail that gets his arms and legs chopped of, come to think about it.

other than that, nice gfx with good fps and some small details like blury vision at reloads and stuff like that shows that they put some time into making it. yeah, its pretty nice.

Yes, finally a nice new xbox game.
Graphics great, gameplay great but what I really hate is that shitty EA Style.
It's all so polished, there is no blood it smells so much like a typical Teenie PG-13 mainstream shooter. Yea mainstream, thats what Ea is, uber emancipated models with big tits, "cool" younger heroes and fast cars. What I want is the dirty Die Hard guy, wrong time wrong place, smelling like shit, smoking and with a hangover. A bit more 80's Style and more blood, less fixation on 15 year old brainless players and this game could be the best shooter for the xbox.

We want violence and blood!! (see New era of violence thread!)

obviously you're a tool, you do know the game is about an american team taking out an AMERICAN rogue agent right. And that the critereon guys ARENT american. Yea ;ots of propaganda in that. What the fuck does polotics have to do with game i just wanna frag some bad guys ive got no preference to where the polygons i'm shooting at come from long as i'm filling em with cyber lead.

Oh and to the guy whining about EA polish wha wha. This game wasnt made by EA dude and if you watch listen to the ign podcast he tells you exactly why there's no blood. EA own critereon, they publish criteron and critereon say they gave them no resitance and let them make the M rated game the way they wanted to make it so pls STFU. All this EA bashing its like the internet gamer fad at the moment.
