Just got my copy. About to start playing. Don't bother me for a week or two please.

Basic · May 16, 2003

Lucky you! I've been waiting for this game since the preview in OXM it looks amazing. I'll be picking up a copy next week

It's a great game enjoying it heaps. You can do so many moves from the movies.
Been playing it for a few days now too.

jod23 · May 17, 2003

Definitely on my list of games to pick up. Sooner rather than later hopefully.

The big question.. is it any good?

joshhem · May 18, 2003

I guess they're all too busy playing it

Hmmm... a bit disappointing on the PC.

It is obviously made for a control pad, not a mouse and keyboard. Otherwise the graphics are good as anything out there. Not streets ahead, just "as good as".

The moves from the movie are fun but you soon realise that wall-walking is not really a practical move.

Cartwheels from behind obstacles, shooting at enemies are a good way to avoid getting shot, but wall-walking I have yet to find a use for.

It's fun but VERY linear, with only one way to complete the missions. All routes through areas are pretty much clearly marked with little room to go wrong. Again, this suits a console more than a PC.

In one of the driving sequences I tried to flip the car but it just wouldn't go. Why not? The linear nature of the mission meant that it was impractical.

Some missions involve moving through a pre-set, obvious route with a small fight at the end. Fail the fight and you have to run through the easy, monotonous route again.

I expected something new and exciting. I got a console game slapped onto PC format and seeing as an XBox is basically just a PC anyway, not much work was required there.

No adjustment was made to the feel and operation of the controls for the mouse and keyboard as opposed to a control pad. Weapons selection, for instance, could have been made much easier with all the keys you have available on a keyboard.

Mouse sensitivity is too high on the sniper scope, but too low on the vertical axis when running, then too low when you want to make a large turn, but too sensitive for a small course adjustment. These settings all suit a self-centering controller.

Nice try but from what I have seen so far, 6/10.

I haven't seen the game but movie licenced games usually suck.

1 Question:

Is it too easy to do the "moves" and is it too repetetive

SydneyBomber · May 22, 2003

4.3 ****ing gb free space?!

Got the other day as a present, and I'm currently using an old crappy pc at home with a whopping 6gb drive.
Not enough space, so have to look at the box til Iget my new machine sorted.
grr.

I've already clocked it with Ghost and am settling into the Niobe storyline and I agree with all the above, but not as harshly.

It works best as a supplement to Reloaded - very interesting to see some back story and crossover with the film.

The driving sequences are by far the worst I have ever played!

Ghost on Easy only took me 5 and a touch hours of gameplay - dunno how hard it would be on a higher difficulty, I plan to see - but there's a bit more longevity in the Hacking addition, it seems.

I've already unlocked the Katana (only available when you finish the game, it seems) and apparently there's heaps more hidden in there.

Basic · May 26, 2003

I hired it out today to see if it was worth buying, I won't be buying it. Good game but far to easy I've already finished the "Hacking" and Ghost on normal still it was a good way to waste a day.

Guaranteed you haven't finished all the hacking.

No one seems to know what else can be unlocked, it's rumoured that there are complete movesets that can be applied to the characters - Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do, etc.

Basic · May 29, 2003

It comes up and said something like your finished here so that's why I said I've finished. If there's anything else to do it's very well hidden I'll give them that. We'll find out in a few months when whatever else is there, if anything, comes out.

Former · Jun 2, 2003

I don't even know where to start with the 'Hacking' option. I just want to shoot and kick things!

jod23 · Jun 2, 2003

Had fun with the hacking...got the samurai sword happening

And multiplayer. Just finished the game with Niobi on Normal and will now go about getting it done with Ghost. Might go up to Hard with Ghost.

Basic · Jun 3, 2003

Since you have the sword you might as well do it on hard with one arm and your eyes closed it kind of unbalances the game but it's still really fun to slice and dice people

Its true he has finished the game. I was there.
One of the best games iv played for a while!!! and the hacking ...just ads a new concept to gaming on the x box!
If you dont have it , buy it !!!! 10/10

clucas91 · Jun 3, 2003

Terrible game, graphics, animation, player movement all awful.

It looked horrible, the gameplay was abysmal and was actually quite boring.

1/10

I'm glad I rented it. What a POS.

Shining...for shame.
