That Guy Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Got a bit of a dilema at the moment, want a new 360 game but need to choose between: Gears of War (£32.99) Rainbow 6: Vegas (£26.99) Crackdown (£33.29) Viva Pinatta + Perfect Dark Zero (2 for £40) Viva Pinatta (£24.99) Very little to choose between all of them price wise so which do people find themselves playing more? Well, not Crackdown because it's not out yet. I've played a lot of Gears of War though. I also really like Viva Pinata but other games have kept me from playing it for a while now. PDZ isn't that good, but the rest are quality, although I'm not a fan of games like R6V. Personally I'd go for Gears of War, but that is an impossible list to choose from.

Viva Pinata if you want a nice relaxing and fun game. Gears if you want a short but great experience. I wouldnt recommed PDZ Rainbow Six if you like squad based games with realism. If I had to choose I would say Rainbow, I play that a hell of alot more than Gears of War due to there being ALOT more options and gametypes to play online. You can alos play through story mode with 2/3 other people online and the Terrorist Hunt missions are great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Yes, you can and no, they dont Away to order Gears now, quick question first though: Is there online co-op? Yeah! You need to play it on co-op to make the game worth it. It's just an average game by yourself, but on co-op its incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thats good. I'd heard it was a bit crap solo and i cant play the whole game split screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1UP Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 It is def not crap solo, really good solo but even better co-op. The online is still loads of fun. Go with Gears, can't go wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 gow co-op is a beast. Online imo is shitty, 4 vs 4 sucks when you can play 16 vs 16 on cod3. If you like hiding behind things and using A button for EVERYTHING then get GOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Only 4v4? I miss PC gaming If Joint Ops managed 150 (i.e. 75v75) 3 years ago then surely the 360 can do more than 4v4?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have respawns and rounds take a while with only 8, so if you got nade tagged early on it's a bitch to wait around already. It's fun 1vs1 splitscreen, so I'm not complaining.

Razz Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I got my Xbox, but I'm not getting DOA4 until tomorrow. so I'm stuck with demos so far. It's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes 4v4 is a bummer, but if you get a load of rounds in a match. I played one w here it was up to 18. The rounds lasted 5/10 minutes and it went on forever because it was first to 18. You say surely it can do more that 4v4, well it can with COD3 aving up to 24 poeple. but that isnt as graphically impressive as GoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1UP Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Shut-up all you 4v4 haters. This game is MADE for 4v4, the graphics can handle 4v4, because Ut3 is comming to 360 and has the same graphics as Gears and is probably gonna have atleast 16 players. Gears is suited so well to 4v4, if there were 16 players there would be no skill and no point for the cover mechanic, it would be a run n gun... Plus the maps aren't even all that big enough for more people. 4v4 is PERFECT for this game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand people wanting 16 vs 16 in games like Call of Duty but why in Gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I wasnt specifically on about Gears, i just find it weird that the 360 doesnt go over the 32 player barrier. Its perfectly suited for an online war epic with massive maps and teams so big they could be mistaken for a small army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokhed00 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 It's all well and good having a high player count for online games, but the more players a game supports the quicker any sort of team play goes out of the window. Switch was citing 75 vs 75 player matches, where's the team work there, there's no way you can know what everybody is doing. Personally I feel the absolute limit for a good team game is 8 vs 8 and even that is a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domstercool Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 It really depends on how the game handles it. Battlefield works very well with high numbers because the teams can then also be moved into squads and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Single player crackdown is really... bad... Don't get this unless it's for the H3 beta or for co-op play. Saints row has a much better single player experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokhed00 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Saints row has a much better single player experience. Yeah, I just loved it every time it crashed on a loading screen, mission objectives disappeared and my car turned invisible and immobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My saints row has never crashed on a loading screen. Mission objectives where always visible and my car only became immobile when destroyed :P Some graphics glitches here and there tough.
