Anybody got this yet? Was tempted to pick it up yesterday when getting DMC4. I enjoyed the demo but was wondering what people's impressions of the game were.

I was tempted today, you get it first then report back here!

The demo was cool, it seems a tad limited though with only 8 areas, a fair few different game modes though. I think i'll rent it first possibly....

It was available in GAME for 30 euro, when you bought anything else in the store, from launch. That makes me very wary of it.

Goin out to pick it up in a bit, I'll report back with findings.

Apparently it's good for the pick up and shoot everything factor, and not very much else. I've started moving through rooms like in R6 Vegas so I need a change. Possibly mental help,but we'll discuss that later.

Rental only. I can't see it doing well as the offline is boring as hell. Online is decent but I can't see it having much of a community.

Haven't played it online yet, had a quick blast through the first few sp bits and it's not bad. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but if you think (not literally, but close enough) PGR with guns, that's it.
Even the feel of the game is more a "SHOOT HIM TO GET A HIGHER SCORE", rather than the "SHOOT HIM BECAUSE HE LOOKS SLIGHTLY EVIL".
The amount of stylish types of shooting you can do is pretty restrictive, in that your only moves are run, sprint, roll, or kick through something. There's no shootdodging or cover, but it's still good for a small bit of a rush, especially the Run the Gauntlet modes.

I think one of the best bits is the constant reminders that you've explosives coursing through your veins. Nearly every mode's description consist of: "Make it to the exit etc. etc. etc. OR THE EXPLOSIVES IN YOU WILL KILL YOU."

Surely having loads of lads with guns is a bit dangerous, the explosives seems a bit over the top.
Anyway, enough of my rambling, here's the verdict: If you want PGR except you get to shoot people instead of over take them, then get it. It's good for kicks and arcadeyness. If you're not sure, rent it. Worth a go imo.

I thought it was decent, deffo not a game with high replay value... Its still 30euro in game till wednesday for anybody interested. It aint worth full price though.

Didn't like it at all,bought it and brought it back after 2 days and swapped it for Devil May Cry 4.

Definatly a rental job if you are interested in the game.

The Nemo chap is hilarious - "Oooh yes, look at me in my yellow raincoat. I'm quite clearly mad"
