Tenner says you are a robot/android, or the chick in your squad is. Looks interesting though.

Was looking at this today in GameStop, might pick it up at some stage. Interesting idea, will wait to see the reviews/price drop!

It's also confirmed this game will have voice recognition feature with NPC's like Mass Effect 3, but Headset will also do the job not only for Kinect.

Tried it with the headset, picks up most things quite well. Being able to scream at your squadmates "You Idiot!" when they wander into your line of fire is a nice touch. Might try it with the kinect instead as it kept picking up "S***!" as "Go!". Picked up "F***!" a lot though

Game itself seems like a decent Gears of War variant with some effort put into the storyline and characters. Worth picking up for 15-20 which should be soon enough as it has next to no hype pre-release.

Single player great so far , real intense ..

Played the demo and wasn't mad about it. Seems to be getting good reviews though so it might be worth a look.

So Eurogamer seemed to enjoy it, giving it an 8/10.

For those looking to pick it up now, Zavvi have it for the rather great price of £24.95.

Lads the game is ****in brilliant , really enjoying it so far .. Def worth the pick up :pac:

Gave the demo a spin earlier, was good alright. Blowing robos to pieces is so much fun. Second part in the train station was a bit off, had no idea what was going on so spent ages shooting droids while I was meant to be running through the trains to freedom.

Got a good deal to play through right now so gonna wait a bit to pick it up.

This game sounds amazing. I really love the sound of the head shot mechanic where you can cause absolute havoc with chains of head shots. I really want this game now! Payday on Friday

The game is absolute gem , my game of the year so far , theres a horde mode aswell so when you clear the single player which is amazing so far you can pop off as many robots heads as you want afterwards , the consequence system aswell seems very different and unique to other games ... Everyone needs to try out this game ...you will love it

Do xtra vision stock it? To lazy to go to town and check

Binary domain getting a pc release in april

Nice to see the japanesse developers bringing their games over to pc as of late

Retr0gamer

I'm really enjoying this game. I love how much weight the guns have and the sense of power they have when they hit an enemy, really satisfying, like Gears of War had. There's a nice bit of depth to the combat as well since you have to think about what body parts to lob off and it has much more of an impact than dead space which didn't go far enough with the idea.

So far the cast is a bunch of cliches but the writing and acting is so good that it's never a problem. It's a shame it's not selling since it deserves to do a lot better.

richymcdermott

Theres a great amount of variety in enemies aswell , not just one type of robot and i enjoyed the boss battles aswell , the world also shows great scale and as you said , writing and story is fantastic

Got this from Amazon a couple of weeks ago, was really cheap too. Haven't played it yet but good to see that it's getting positive feedback.

promethius42

Just got this looking forward to playing it over the next few days.

Notorioux

Is the online still active?

mise

Saw it for €23 in HMV Grafton Street today. Tempted to pick it up, going on what you guys are saying.

LH Pathe

Some of these bots are a chore to dissemble.. just past the freeway boss, n straight on to two mini bosses imo!!

J. Marston

Just finished it. Surprised it hasn't received wider acclaim. Great action, good challenging bosses (on hard difficulty anyway), some cool set pieces and a fairly solid story even if it does get a bit wacky near the end. The game isn't too short either so that another plus. The trust system is an interesting idea but it's a little bland really and there's some fairly cheesy dialogue but it's an over the top action game so I can forgive that. Overall, a great game.

Thought they were sequel baiting at the end with Faye possibly leading a ''Hollow Child'' rebellion and you having to be the one to take her down but it looks like they gave it a conventional happy ending with her and Dan after the credits.
