I’m definately more interested in picking this up after seeing more of the gameplay and the graphics look gorgeous.
I don’t think the UK are getting that Limited Edition though because i can’t find it on any of the major retail websites
I think with the campaign spanning upwards of 20 hours i’ll definately be getting my moneys worth.Twitter.com/scatigno1

lol @ szuter. yeah man I got it with release day shipping for $40 on amazon. It has gotta be worth that…
I’m just renting it.
Gonna give it a shot but I usually hate these kinds of games.War.
War never changes.
Looking forward to playing the rest of it now.

Sorry dude, I gotta wait until I can catch Brook online so he can send me that unlock file. I deleted the programme from my laptop and re-installed it to see if it makes a difference. I hope I can get it sorted soon because I got FIFA 11 coming today.

Szuter should still also have it. I wont be home until like 6pm so i can send it to you then.
I recorded a 2 part Watch me Suck video that’s exporting now. Will be up later. It features a part of the game after the demo with some platforming and swinging elements.
Impressions:
If you like god of war and uncharted type games you will like this one. The combat is fun and there is depth for sure. The graphics are WAYY above average and the sound is great as well.
The frame rate is an issue as they say. Luckily I have not noticed any tearing which I think is worse than occasional slowdown to me. There is not much slowdown during battles but at times especially when you fist start playing the game in the first 30 minutes or so it seems not smooth as it should be. After the first hour its not a big issue at all and I guess I got used to it. perhaps because since the stages look so good and the action is fluid. I played 2+ hours my first sit through. i really hope they patch the frame rate to be 30 instead of 24 but without it its ok and Im having fun.
Got mine ordered for delivery on release day.
I’m pissed though. At first it looked like the Limited Edition would not be released over here, but now they are saying it will be but it will come out sometime after the standard release on Friday.Twitter.com/scatigno1

I played some of the game yesterday and I did enjoy it. I dont think it was great but than again I hate these times of games.
What I really love is the environment in the game. It seems like it keeps changing quite a bit on level to level basics.
Combat is great and isnt to complicated
You collect xp points which you can use to learn new moves like in most game like this.
There already was one puzzle in the game and I couldnt even beat it. Had to use an option to solve it automaticallyWar.
War never changes.
