    Howya,

    Was thinking of getting this on Friday - Have'nt gotten anything in a while.

    Has anyone played or got opinions on it?

    I've watched Gamespots review but have found their reveiws a bit off in the past....can anyone compare it to anything they've played already?

    Cheers

    Cullen82

    Yeah there is a larger thread in the games section, I was thinking of getting it but after Reading through the thread it turns out that you have to pay 800 microsoft points to download the free roam mode so I will probably just rent it now.

    Thanks for the replies, I did'nt see the other thread obviously.

    Nemanja to be honest I'm prob with you on that one after reading about the ms points to roam....Freedom to roam in the game would have been one of my main interests so don't think ill be going for this now.

    It's not that you can't free roam in the game as it is now, to collect wanted posters etc but other than that and a car stealing job there is nothing to do outside the missions.

    Its good i enjoyed it but its only 10hours ish long and with zero replay or DLC value so i would rent it for a week it will be more than enough.

    I had 11 hours in my stats when I finished it. Took me the full week I had it of casual play.

    OK yeh maybe awful is a strong word, it definitely looks the business but i just didnt find it that fun and i was annoyed that the open world was completely wasted, or so i thought until i heard they were bringing out DLC to make driving around worthwhile.

    played the demo earlier. enjoyed it. Physics are pretty cool and I love the retro look and feel of it. might pick up a copy...

    Really good game. Very much enjoyed it. I bought it but to be honest I'd probably just rent it if I had the choice now.

    Did anyone spot the possible Bioshock reference on the
    Prison
    Level where the guy says "WOuld you kindly" maybe wasnt but it was the way he said it that made me think bioshock right away.

    Looks real good. Think i'l rent if it's 10/11 hours of gameplay and no replay value.
