Retro_Link Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Here's a trailer of the game for anyone who wants a look/reminder; http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=6731&pl=game&type=wmv I'm kind of interested in this game, it does look like it could be fun. The style of the cutscenes looks great; really like those! This game would of been great if it had had some sort of 4 player co-op/squad based mode or something; where you each took a different role and could command different vehicles etc...

Librarian Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 yes im picking this up. But maybe not right away. I just bought Mario Kart (surprise) and Far Cry, and have pre-ordered (import) Animal Crossing. So I'll have enough at my hands for some time. But I love the cartoony looks of this game and it looks like a good fun old shooter.. bring it online bring it online for the REV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Yeah I'm also picking this game up, it will be the last game I get for this year. I agree with what was said at the start of the thread, the game at first seemed really shoddy but over time it's really come a long way and seems alot of fun.

Hero-of-Time Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 This will most likely be my last purcahse til the New Years Sales. Like it has been said before the game has come a long way and even though short its supposed to be a fun game to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocka Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Maybe I'll get it, but not straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've been hyped about this for a while now, as I haven't purchased a GameCube game since Killer7. Glad to see they never got rid of the outstanding boxart for the EU release, and it looks better in the orange tones instead of the greens which the US boxart had. I've pre-ordered it with play.com, so I'll probably get it in the post this Saturday coming. After this, all that's waiting for me on the GameCube is Zelda:TP.

Konfucius Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I was looking forward to this title for a long time now but our TV doesn't display anything anymore properly and we get a new one after christmas so this means that I'll wait to purchase it of my own free will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I don't know whether to get it. Got so many games and feels like I should get on with some of them. Especially Pikmin 2. I love Pikmin and still haven't played this properly. Maybe I should just get it. Or not. Dunno. Fuck I hate decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtle Squad Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 is it as strategic as the GBA/DS ones? where you have to think, otherwise things that you didnt want happening happened?and could you just overall tell us how it plays, i might consider this game and many others that are already out. dont know if i should get killer 7? tempting and resi 4 arg i cant decide, any thats going for £25 ill have for christmas It's not as strategic, but there is some strategy to the battles and such I believe (I don't own it but read reviews, watch vids etc. I want this game 2nd most for Xmas, beating it is Mazza Kart) So...obviously i can't say how it plays. Get Killer7 AND Resi4 they BOTH RULE (though get Resi4 1st cos it's better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upking Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 yes I will be getting this most definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't think its less strategic, just a different type of strategy. You don't plan ahead as much and in as much detail. Most of the time you are simply reacting to whats thrown at you, and you have to think strategically, fast. In some ways this is actually an improvement on the originals because you feel more engrosed and part of the action. Overall the game is absoloutly brilliant. Its a shame there is no multiplayer or co-op, because in those circumstances it could have been SSBM good, nevertheless I had a great amount of fun. However it comes third behind those two games you mentioned, simply because they are incredible. Anyone will tell you that Residant Evil is a must buy. And Killer 7? One of my top five as listed in the retro discussions "top 50 games" topic. Not for everyone, but it'll always be one of my top list games.

Guest Stefkov Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 ok cheers for that LazyBoy ill consider those 3 games, and thanks Kurt R for yourr info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I reviewed it not awhile back on DZ. It's an interesting game, but if you don't learn right away you'll fail and fail and fail and eventually just get bored with it. Unless you'e prepared to play until you win, I'd suggest renting beforehand. This comment has put me off. I do that a lot in games. Give up if I'm complete rubbish at them. Might get Prince of Persia 3 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePigMarcher Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Pre-ordered with gameplay a while back. Hoping it turns up Thursday as I am really looking forward to this one. 3 episodes left on Fire Emblem so this will suitably take its place.

Nintenchris Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 It's here!! It rocks! Im loving this game, the first level is great for getting used to the controls. Only thing that pisses me off is that Betty has the most ear renching voice ever... she makes me want to pull my ears off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePigMarcher Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Agreed , it is bloody great - Luckily I have managed to drown out Bettys voice with Pantera at full volume , but what I did hear from hear was indeed irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks for the heads up I forgot it was out this week and have ordered it off Gameplay so with any luck it should arrive tomorrow or Sat at the lastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I think the game is an equal to the original Wars games, but simply given a 3d sheen... it has a brilliant blend of actionn and strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
