I think the consensus was to hang back a bit on this for a price drop. Beta was a bit meh for many. It's a £20-25 for me I think unless I hear amazing reports back about mp.

I grabbed this due to wanting rid of Max Payne. Very casual so far, it holds your hand and leads you through the levels, not at all tactical. Despite that, it's quite fun. I'm actually finding the spectacle quite impressive, although there's nothing new here at all. The cut scenes are hilariously bad, I suspect they've been outsourced - they look worse than the game and the voice acting is horrendous, even though the same actors in game sound fine.

That should be a box quote.

I remember playing GRAW2 with Edge folk! Was an awesomely good time.

I'm enjoying the campaign a lot, it's probably closer to a Splinter Cell/COD/Gears hybrid than Ghost Recon and the story and cut scenes are so bad that I suspect they might have seriously considered not including them. The game engine and transitions look great though, incredibly cinematic. The marking and multi-kill mechanic is good fun and the fire fights are suitably chaotic, the pleasure is more in killing the enemy with a bit of style rather than just getting through.

Tried a bit of the on-line last night. The multi-player seems pretty much the same as the beta, I'm not sure how much it's lag and how much it's just players being a bit quicker than me, but I died a lot. Not particularly fun and it does look quite poor compared to the campaign. I was being optimistic and assuming that the guns I was unlocking in the campaign would unlock in multi-player. Sadly not and you do feel at a huge disadvantage. Terrible lack of faith in their multi-player that they think people will only play because they need to grind.

The horde mode seemed much more promising. A bit better looking and reasonably tight game play, it seems to add enough value to make the game a keeper after the campaign is over.

I watched the 25 min video. Ok stuff. Black guy the only person to be killed off? Am i being overly sensitive or did anyone else find that a bit..strange?

Yeah, that's the first.  I was flying.  Took off, wobbled a bit as I adjusted to the controls, then flew at speed directly into a large cliff.

makes a change from g acidently droping nades at your feet, as a way to go.

Just came across a game breaking bug . On the Noble Tempest level  where you go thru a dilapidated building one of the soldiers just crawls along a wall and every time you restart the level from your checkpoint the prick keeps doing it . Don't know if it's worth restarting the level !

I've just had the AI freeze up on me too. Luckily I was at the start of the level, because going back to the checkpoint didn't help. It would be a nightmare, some of the levels are very long.
