Haha, what a start. So is it a 7 or an 8?
I actually got to play most of this game last summer and I was very impressed with what they had done back then.
I'm not really surprised that it's got a decent score. The only thing I wonder is if people who assumed it would be pure tripe will give it a go. I somehow doubt they will, but seeing as the last game sold so many, it might not be a problem. I'll give this a try. I don't think I could stomach it. I like listening to certain rap, but I don't claim to be into the whole culture thing. Not a good start for a game based on a potty mouthed rapper.
Now if Iron Maiden brought out a new game, where you played as Eddy - then I'd be very interested. Maybe based on the Somewhere in Time album.... 8) Sorry, it's a 7. Not 8. Typo changed. I'm sorry, but 50 Cent is a tw*t. I wouldnt give him 50p never mind £39.99 or whatever this game is going to go for. I've had my copy for a couple of days now, it's great fun! (Xbox 360) If you can look past the fact that it's 50 Cent then you'll find a good solid shooter. As for the cutscenes, they all look and sound fine to me, surprisingly well produced stuff. This game doesn't take itself seriously for one second, the laugh out loud one liners are classic, the story is so ridiculous that it's actually good and stick some great looking Unreal Engine visuals on top and your onto a winner. :) I think Swordfish deserve a pat on the back for making a respectable game out of something that you'd think was a non-starter, especially given the uncertainty & upheaval that company has recently had to face.
Well done guys. Don't then, give Blockbuster £4 and take it for the weekend. Think I will be depsite the whole, rock on thing. I just wanna blow sheet up! Anyone that actually buys this game should be locked up in a very small empty room for the rest of their lives for supporting this moron, or at the very least banned from gaming.
there are so many decent shoot'em up games out there now as well as in the next few months that should take care of any "blow sh*t up" needs you may have. its about time some one released a review for this its been on my radar for a while now. is this game going to have trophys? if it is i may get it. other wise KZ and fear 2 will keep me ocupied till godfather 2. It doesn’t matter how good it is, I'm not buying anything featuring this tit. Just letting you know I'll be boycotting you if you decide to release anything for consumers. He doesn't care... Neither does anyone else for that matter. Good proof reading CVG hate 50 cent to death (any rapper actually) but ive got an unlimited rental thing going on so i guess this deserves one. Technically you'd be supporting UK based devs Swordfish studios, you know, the people who made the game, not 50 cent. People who buys 50 Cent's albums and clothing support 50 Cent.
Anyway I've seen a few reviews for this now and seems to be the same old story, just good ol shoot 'em up fun from start to finish, not to be taken seriously. It's a Gears clone, it's fun, and I've got no 'beef' with 'fiddy', So I'll probably buy it sometime, but not now, Resi 5 is top priority for me. |
