Looks Excellent!!!!!
Little or very little pop in and decent draw distance. (xbox version)
It's a very big game in terms or area and ground to cover.
Very enjoyable so far, co-op is ok too.
Word of warning for folks expecting this to be fallout , as i've seen it compared to fall out 3 a bit. It's nothing like fallout game play wise.
The rpg elements are there with the stats etc but light in comparrison to fallout. It's a shooter 1st and foremost.
Also one thing that kinda bugged me was the narrative / story there isnt really much to it most of the time you are doing missions that don't relate to the story and come by way of on screen text, it's rare you interact with a character with a voice over. There are not multiple choice conversations to be had either.
The limited inventory and no chest to store stuff was a bit annoying at 1st but I got over it once I realised guns could be found everywhere.
There is no option to change difficulty and this game is HARD in places, thankfully reload times and the 2nd wind system work well.
One other niggle is that when you save and exit the game when you go back to the game you start off back at the out post, meaning you have to fight your way back to where you where as the enemies respawn. So you can't get to a hard part , save, die and pick it up again.
For those who have played it , the claptraps are hillarious "c'mon look at me , I'm dancing , I'm dancing"
Over all though I think it's tonnes of fun to play, more fps with rpg-lite thrown in. 7/10.
Edit: Just reading a few other reviews on other sites, I'm not getting the whole only good on co-op thing it's perfectly ok solo , if anything ok with pal's but but it's only 4 player co-op so far from being MMORPG, you can go to an arena in game or start a dual with other players in your party but that was fun like the 1st time I did it. Most of the people I've played with were only there to muck about or try and mooch good weapons off me.
I get the distinct wiff of we secretly held back some stuff for dlc about this game though.0 -

Sorry, I was talking about the PC version (when it's released). It will be €35 in Gamestop. Don't know why I though that was what you were referring to. 0 -

Having played the game and its DLC inside out including have some mods I don't think it ever crashed for me. Must be your system.
Didn't mean for my Fallout 3 remark to go on this long but I'd say my crashing problems could also have been due to my Nvidia drivers. However I had used 4 or so revisions and had troubles each time... and only ever issues while playing that game.
I want to say "many people found the game buggy" but I guess that's always the impression you get when you're looking through forums, trying to resolve problems you're having with a game. Specifically remember (some) people with quad core processors having to set the game to restrict use to two of the cores, due to the game crashing when they went into small rooms (such as the restroom). I got BSOD every time I tried to enter one side of theBethesda Buildingas well.
The game defeated my patience in the end, lol. 0 -
It's been a while since I've played a game that's consistently held my attention so long. I've been playing it non-stop since friday afternoon. I've gotten to the credits, have 840 or so GS in it and am on level 41 on the Hunter class and I just want more!
The second playthrough is even tougher. All enemies start on level 35 or so, so it's really a challenge, which makes this game excellent for the replayability factor. I haven't even touched the other classes yet either so it's something to really look forward to. The alien guns you find in the game are also awesome. There's one I deemed the Dildo Gun since it pretty much looks like one.
Planning on hitting level 50 today!0 -
