It is here and it is incredible

[woundingchaney]

At least from all the reviews that I have been reading


We are talking about GRAW here


http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/926971.asp


With solid titles starting to come in droves to the 360, I have little doubt as to its capabilities in both power and longevity in the console business.

[Coded-Dude]

well, I would agree somehwat, this is one of the most anticipated games for xbox fans......
its longevity is still somewhat questionable, but everything else you said I agree with

Yes it is and that was just a statement as to may personal opinion, but if titles that we are seeing continue to be released and supply problems are remedied than I have little doubt there will be any issue as to longevity for the 360. It is also important to note that recent information confirms that supply issues will be handled shortly and an extended list of upcoming titles also confirms qualtiy support for the 360.

But by no means is this anything other than personal opinion.

[Generic Wheaties]

Woah, GameInformer gave it a 9.5! I must try this soon.

[Z]

I've seen the latest trailer of it the other day, and it left an impression! damn, I wish they would pump u[p SOCOM with such action and chaos.

I will be getting the Box version and see how it plays. hope it is as good as it looks!

[D3adcell]

I just went and paid it off today. Going to pick it up tommorow morning after class. Might even leave class early to get it.

[speed stick]

This game does not come out until the 9th along with Burnout. Here I thought I might end up getting them both today.

In stores tomorrow the 8th, gamefaqs is incorrect I just got the call from my local gamestop.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

people in the teamxbox.com forums are already giving impressions, so today was probably the release date, but a lot of places will be receiving it tomorrow or the next day due to shipping.

btw, they had nothing but good comments in those forums. Right now they are argueing on whether it is a killer app or not.

[Z]

I'll ask for it tomorrow. I think Shadow Hearts is out as well.

I called my ebgames yesterday and they said its going on sale on the 9th. I do live in Canada by the way. That probably has something to do with it.

I believe most canada stores are selling it on the 10th (or have it listed as such) according to many posters on xbox.com. So you might have to wait a day or two longer then us, but its not that long.

must be... becuase my gamestop called me to tell me that it would be available tomorow...er.........today mean.... the 8th

[D3adcell]

Check out the sig.

This game reminds me of Full Spectrum Warrior alot. But you actually get to control your movement and gun etc.

[speed stick]

Are you enjoying the game deadcell. Must be because you have already beaten a couple of levels.

[D3adcell]

Yeah I played it for about 7 hours straight so far today. Finally taking a break from it because my backs starting to hurt. It's damn impressive, alot better then I expected. I love the online play too. Me and WoundingChaney already played online a while.

[[[tavis]]]

its pretty fun already. got 2 hour under my belt. hoping the co-op is up to par.

[speed stick]

Good, thats what I was hoping to hear from you guys.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

ill be getting it tomorrow night, along with burnout. i dont want it to get in the way of studying for biology. good hear though, deadcell.

[woundingchaney]

Good, thats what I was hoping to hear from you guys.


Abslutely excellent and well polished title, the best team based war game I have played yet.

[speed stick]

Yes, another happy customer. Makes me want this game even more now.

[Hylian-Advocate]

It really is fantastic, y'all!!

I am more than pleased.

Only played thorugh about 4 levels so far though

[Tommy]

Looks great, it's one of the 3 games I'm going to buy next time I get paid.

[speed stick]

This coming from you must mean the game is great. So is this your first really good game that you like on the 360?

[Hylian-Advocate]

yea.... I would say so...it deserves its 9. somthing scores.

I dont usually like all the tactical shooters and whatnot....but this one is done very well.
Its not the best damn game ever but its really good.... the best 360 game I have played so far.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

it has literally sold out everywhere here. i cant find a copy :(

[speed stick]

I'm going to get one tommrow during my spare. It comes with a free toque if I get it at Future Shop. So thats where I'm going. :) And its in stock which makes it even better.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

its not in stock anywhere here :( eb said they might get more tomorrow.

[D3adcell]

^Yeah my eb only had enough for pre-orders. Did you try walmart's or target or anything?

Oh and I just beat the game, excellent fun it was. Now to get achievments on hard and more on multiplayer.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

short game, eh?

[Z]

well, I expect the emphasis to be for the online mode.

I am promised to get it tomorrow.

[D3adcell]

You got a 360 Z?

[Negativity]

Blasphemy!

Anyway, this game doesn't seem that interesting to me.
I guess I'd have to play it.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

i dont find it as amazing as a lot of people make it out to be for some reason... but i only played it for like... 30 minutes. I tried going online, and it took forever to find games. And then every single one i joined, i would have to wait like 9 minutes for the round to be over. is that normal?

[D3adcell]

Depends on what type of game you are looking for. And in the list it should say how much time is left in the current game. If it says "Setup" then they havent launched the game yet.

If you see me or wounding chaney online just join the room we are in.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

alright. i will be getting on pretty soon here.

[speed stick]

Got this and Burnout today. Both are amazing. Ghost Recon is such a great game so far and I'm only on like level 3 or 4. I've still got to try out multiplayer.

[Z]

You got a 360 Z?
nah, I gotta a Box.

I am saving for a complete state of the art home theater! w00t w00t!

[Hylian-Advocate]

I dont understand on e thing though...

Where is the Co-Op Campain???... theres nothing anywhere that says Co-Op

do you have to unlock it.....if so.....how?

wait.. is it just that mode where you can play with 15 people against bots?

When creating a room in multiplayer go to 'missions'. It's either that or Campaign. Only 4 missions right now, but more should be downloadable some time in the future.

Read the instruction booklet (jk).

Everything is reasonably understandable with the user interface in the game, you have to change your setting to what gametype you wish to play prior to looking for the room. I always use "custom search" as it gives a wider array of rooms than quick match.

[Crosman]

My opinion the game is great.

Online is unique since there is so many different ways to hide yourself and worrk with your teamates.

9.5/10

[MicVlaD]

Online is unique since there is so many different ways to hide yourself and worrk with your teamates.

9.5/10Splinter Cell's Spy vs Mercenary is unique. Ghost Recon's multiplayer is just another online shooter with expansive options and co-op support. Hardly unique if you ask me.

Nevertheless: I'm enjoying the game. Single player was better than I expected and feels like a succesful combination of Full Spectrum Warrior, Call of Duty 2 and Perfect Dark Zero. Game needs a wee bit more polish though (found like 5 - 10 different glitches during the entire campaign), but very enjoyable and intense nonetheless. Online (especially the co-op, even though it runs on a souped-up engine of Ghost Recon 2). Need more missions.

What I like the most: how they improved the feel of the firefights. Definitely doesn't feel as shallow or empty as the firefights in Ghost Recon 2. Cross-com is a very welcome, unique and practical addition by the by. Finished single player and co-op campaign as well.

[Z]

well, finally got the thing (for Box). pritty good. I like how you are always on your feet since someone may shoot you from any corner, balcony or roof top.
and I love the co-op. they should do more co-op in games. kudos to Ubi.

by the way, in co-op, they don't show the guns, only the cross-aim. is this the same with the X2 version?

what I don't like is the aiming. it is a bit off, especially with the sniper. I find it easier to use a semi-automatic instead.

[D3adcell]

In the 360 version the multiplayer is 3rd person, same as single player. Sniper rifle I like, I was playing Nowhere (map name) and some guys kept geting on the high ground and mowing down my team with scoped in rifles. I got a sniper and took them down within a few seconds each. The only thing I don't like about it is that with the rifle you can hold your breath, with the snipers you can't.

[Z]

aha, I was wondering how to move the camera to show an over-the-sholder view like in the trialers. so that was only for the X2 version. I see. in Box's, it is a regular FPS. pitty, I wanted the former camera view.
