Retro_Link Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Gametrailers Review - 8.7 http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43264.html
Caris Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 Looks really good, think i might ask for this for Christmas.
Solo Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 It's definitely one of my most wanted of the year, loved Sands of Time and this just looks breathtaking, the 9.4 review on IGN helped too. If you order from play you get it in sexy packaging and two free Sands of Time skins for your Prince and Elika, temptings!
Chris the great Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 sold valkyria chronicles to buy this. cannay wait!
Nintenchris Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 From the gametrailers review "do anything the game doesnt expect and your met with awkward moments, or in the case of the playstation 3 version, out right crashes" !! i would avoid the ps3 version then Im getting it for 360 anyway.. and OMG i cant wait!
Jav_NE Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Jade from Beyond Good & Evil! I loved that game! Elika looks rather hot as her too. I want the Farah costume for her too but damnit i'm not pre-ordering and buying the game just for it when i've already completed it. Ah well.

The only review I've seen where they've said something like that. I'm not phased..
Nintenchris Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 ITS HERE! But the post man was so lazy he only just got here so i cant play till tonight Royal FAIL
Guest Jordan Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Mine wouldn't be here for a good few days... Play.com = hella slow delivery to Shetland. Ah well, Sonic and Banjo to finish anyway.
Chris the great Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 mine aint here, i blaim the snow. game usualy rule at delivery.
ReZourceman Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I got it from the import shop place, and the guy in there said they've only played it 10 minutes so far, but its amazed them 10 times....should be good. Actually can't wait to play now. I went PS3 in the end. Two people at work each begging me to get X platform so they can borrow it heh heh.
Jimbob Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 My copy finally arrive today, may give it a go later if i get time. Actually, i just made time and am playing it right now. First thoughts: I'm impressed. The gameplay is very good. Graphical style is awesome. This is a lot better so far than Assassins Creed. Oh and if you register your game with Ubi, you get a nice surprise.
Aimless Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Rather than buying the game from Play for the SoT Prince and Farah costumes, you can just enter this code in any version: 52585854. Works for both the PS3 and 360. Speaking of which, I can't say I've had any technical issues with the PS3 version so far — I'm around the 25% mark, at a guess. I've seen some mild screen tearing during one of the cinematics, but otherwise the framerate has been very smooth and I haven't encountered any crashes or glitches.

I actually did have one glitch lol. Nothing game breaking but I was like EH. About 20 minutes in, I kept falling through the floor. I went back, and then went back again and it triggered a cut scene. I'm at the bit where you have to collect the shining bits now. Its quite tricky...I can't see where I have to go. Fucking awesome so far though.

Indeed the code works, cheers for the heads up Aimless. Current skin is set to Sands of Time Prince. I did have it on the Altair skin earlier mind (the Ubi.com exclusive skin)
Guest Jordan Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Not sure if i like the SoT skin. He seems far too "tall" as if he's been stretched to fit the new prince model. Loving the game though, did the first 4 fertile lands last night. Great fights, shame they were over so fast and the achievements are just too easy.
ReZourceman Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 I can't get to the high glowing orb things of the first 0/60 lot. How do you get to the top ones?
Jav_NE Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 There are some you cant get until you have the right power to use a certain power plate.
ReZourceman Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 There are some you cant get until you have the right power to use a certain power plate. Oh right....lol that makes sense, as theres red plates near them. I need to go to the next section then? God I'm a n00b.
Dan_Dare Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Want to get this today. Problem is my local indie is behind on delivery and I need to shop there so I can trade in certain games I can't trade elsewhere.

Theres a rumour (in the bargains thread) that "half price at Woolworths" I'm not sure what on, but I'll find out at lunch (in 6) I'll report back.
Dan_Dare Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Cheers! not vital I get it today but...it's an option. Been looking out for it for a while an all. looks great.
ReZourceman Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Cheers! not vital I get it today but...it's an option. Been looking out for it for a while an all. looks great. Yeah wasn't reduced at all. A few of the games were 10% off but thats it.
Chris the great Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 arived today, along with a load of dvds for family members. very excited when i heard postie crunch up the drive. played just under an hour, very impresed, had a few issues with controles, being used to the old school pop, this feels closer to drakes fortune in terms of platforming. speaking of drake, the same voice actor is the prince, and despite my worries, he works well, got a great cocky, smart ass vibe that works well. im guessing face capture was used, the prince bears a resembalence to drake. so far, i love it.
Ryan Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 No copy from Play for me so far. TDK on Blu Ray has been dispatched though!
