That was also a review for the PS3 version and if previous games are anything to go buy, I heard PS3 versions of the same game were always the worse of the two systems for some reason or another.
When I have played the game, I will be back to either agree or disagree with the negativity! |
No the norwegian newspaper had the full version 2 weeks ago. And same with the finnish place, and now (like 2-3 days ago), and mostly 4-6/10 ratings.
Fuck it, im going to play it anyway.

No Loader to my knowledge.
There just like every other group. Releasing dumps until one day we can play backups we have a source. I hope these dumps work as I remember some of the earlier 360 dumps had issues.

Ok bit of a mini review although I havent played it that much. Probably about an hour or so. In my opinion its a pretty damn good game but then I also thought the demo was pretty damn good. I dont quite understand the reason for the game getting a score as low as 3 out of 10 at all!
Its definitely got the next gen visuals, the controls feel good but if anything the game is goddamn fun! Yes it is repetitive, the enemies are samey but once the action hots up and you have wave after wave of them, its a real blast!
I like the idea of incapacitated squad members including yourself. Its very much like Gears of War whereby you are on your knees waiting to be resurrected and keeping the whole squad on their feet in the middle of a firefight is pretty challenging. They also revive you which is nice! Providing they are not too occupied with enemies at the time of course!
It does feel like it is lacking something and at the same time it feels pretty well polished. The button sequences are cool in my opinion. Always thought so since the Shenmue days! But I suspect not everyone will like those sections of the game. Its fun to fail the sequence intentionally so you get the different death scenes lol.
The story is good but I wont say anything about that since it might spoil the game for anyone who hasnt played it yet. The chatter between the squad is also highly amiusing at times and I just felt like I was playing an Aliens game with all the enemies, gunfire and expletives! lol. Its by no means a bad thing but not one for the kiddies!
The weapons are good as are the abilities and between all the available characters between the squads, there is a lot of choice! I also like the melee attack. When you continue to press the melee attack button, the melee swings vary and it gives a nice feeling that you are really battering the enemy lol.
The only issue that annoys me is not necessarily the loading times since they arent all that bad but just the amount of loading times! The areas between load times are quite small so when you do get to a new area there is a short loading screen but this is also used to progress the story. Also the lack of a jump button is a bit annoying and takes a short while to get used to.
Its also pretty damn dark everywhere and feels a lot like Doom3 in many ways. Overall I like it and I dont think the game deserves anything less than 7/10. I personally would give it a generous 8/10.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

Yeah. Decent game and gets way better after the first few levels. Love the story but the AI on your teammates is fairly hurrendous. And yeah you can't just bunnyhop your way around the levels which is a little strange. Worth a go though for sure. The graphics are really nice.

In reading some posts on other forums, I understand that you have to pay for cheat codes to use in this game.
What on earth were they thinking..?
Dam Codemasters. They were one of the developers big on using starforce. Now they have to find some other way to make money. If you so desire the cheats it will cost you the fee of dialing a 1-900 number & $5.95 The operator will give you the unlock code for your disc.
I think you can also purchase them off the web site.
They say that the codes are not the same for every disc, that every disc is diffiernt.
This would be the unlock code that is given to the operator.
What do we do in our case..? Would the codes be the same..?
Or would it not work since it's not a true retail purchased disc...?

Who cares about cheat codes? Cheating just jeopardises the game and defies the challenge of any game!

Yeah, but its so fucking low of Codemasters to make you pay for goddamn cheatcodes!
When you spend $50 on a damn game, dont you buy all the content on the disc? What if someone buys the game, and pretty much suck at it, but still find the game to be real fun? And now, he would like to drive that Ferrari on the cover, so maybe there are some cheat codes (wich are OPTIONAL, btw) so he can unlock it. But no, Codemasters want even MORE money from you for that
Fuck that i say, and fuck you Codemasters.
And everyone who says codes ruin the game - well, then DON´T USE THEM! Its easy as that!
They should still be there for people who DO want them.
Watercooled 5950X | AORUS Master X570 | Asus RTX 3090 TUF Gaming OC | 64Gb RAM | 1Tb 970 Evo Plus + 2Tb 660p | etc etc

Totally off Topic:
It´s like when you buy a DVD movie, but then some months or even just weeks later a "new" release appears with directors cut and nice folders and extra stuff.
And that makes me feel like i just paid money for some cheap ass half finished product in the first place when I should have waited for de la cre´me version.
Eh, started to ramble here.. so what I wanted to say is Viva La Piracy.. 
Almost on Topic:
Like people said, if you don´t like the game in the beginning, just stick with it, because the last minutes are amazing...

Eh? You liked it at the beginning? But not afterwards then? Seems to be the other way round for most people i.e the game improves after the beginning.
