GRIN is a 7 developer, like Ubisoft. They make good games, but no one will remember them after a month.

I don't know, fellas, the review was suprisingly positive. It reads like a worthwhile title.

Im really not sure about this. I love Capcom, but Grin hasnt exactly proven to be one of the best developers around.

Well, I've been looking forward to this for ages and you can already get it for £28. That cheap enough?

Hmmm, interesting i saw Edge didnt like this at all, and from the demo i am inclined to agree with them.

I'll back the yapping about the MP demo. I may have missed something, but what's the point of that? I spent 5 minutes looking at a matchmaking screen that was going nowhere, knowing that even if I DID manage to get a game I'd be getting pasted whilst trying to figure out what the hell the buttons did or what the point of anything was.
Completely shit idea, that. |

Jeff Gerstman gave it 8/10.
edit: Normally i would buy this. But i have already won the probably not to good Terminator Salvation game with movie premiere tickets. And i wonder how Prototype turns out. The UFC game is also tempting.

I agree with people's points that the demo was quite damaging, the swing mechanic did need to be explained before sending us to online slaughter.
But it still looks like an interesting game and I should be getting mine for the fabulous price of free if Mr. Bramwell and Capcom have kept to their word. (I won the BC:Rearmed Eurogamer level comp) :D |

I think I'll rent this. I'm just a sucker for alternative travel routes. Assassin's Creed was one of my favourite games full stop, purely because I could perform impossible jumps around a city.

Seems like this is one of those love it or hate it affairs. Just read a review on a Norwegian site that gave it 5/10. The reviewer was apparently very frustrated by the bionic arm system and the aiming reticule being iffy.
Hoping for a SP demo of this on PSN, but so far I'm skeptical about this one. |

Personally, based on my experience so far with the campaign (70% done) and the multiplayer demo (can't find games online right now)... I'd go higher than a 7.
I think it's great. It does have a few sore spots but, all things considered, it' a slick, stylish and very unique shooter. It makes Gears feel far too... well... grounded. |

This was pretty similar to my experience, and I'm yet another who was utterly put off by the multiplayer demo. Several minutes faffing around in matchmaking then dropped into the middle of a deathmatch game not knowing what the hell was going on with the mechanics. A few players were clearly up to speed and had easy pickings charging around slaughtering everyone else. Changed server, same thing occured; a few guys absolutely caning everyone. So fuck that, quit and delete demo. Which knobhead thought an MP-only demo was a good idea?? |

I must admit, i picked up the multiplayer pretty quickly, once i just treated it as multiplayer version of the spiderman games. I def share people's annoyance ast having just a multiplayter demo though. It wasn't the most intuative thing to be thrown into.

DevilDancer - yes, he plays Bob Marley on the acoustic guitar and can be found looking for teenage girls to boink whilst travelling around Asia.

I played the full game last night and didn't like it all that much. The main problem for me was I found his bionic arm annoying to use. The graphics are very average too.

Right now 17.11 at Asda
This is actually a very good game, if you can put up with it's linearity and take it for what it is it's great as you gradually get better with the arm. 8.5 /10 for me, the cutscenes have that Capcom mix of ham and glitz, if it was a bit more openworld and didn't have the bloody loading screen every 2 minutes it could have been a true classic. |
