Been looking forward to this for three years, and feared the worst.
*sad face* |

I always thought the first game was massively overrated. No change then.

The buzz in the states has been mixed, but not so much I expected that score. "Glitchy but massively fun" has been the consensus with some even saying GOTY 2008...Guess you have to REALLY love explosions.
Ah well, another reason for my wallet to like me, between this and Too Human that's 2 purchases off the radar |

"you'll never see the betters one."
Better ones? Sad news really, but it sounds all too similar to the first game (which was fun but flawed, and hopelessly repetitve). Shame. I'll probably still rent it, though. |

Oh dear, I was really looking forward to this (the first one was excellent).

Worse than the original? Seriously? Damn, was really looking forward to this. There goes the pre-order.

aww ;_;
Liked the first one and was hoping the delays to this were giving it extra shine, rather than making it just about work. |

Wasn't expecting this to be good, but am surprised at how low the score is. Never interested me to be frank. _____ That's Dead Rising you're thinking of /groans |

Shame, I thought the first one was a good game that could have been a very good game with a bit more spit and polish.

I gotta say, i normally buy a game without reading reviews or not caring what they score it..but for the first time ever, i have cancelled a preorder cause it sounds immensely poor.
£40 saved ftw! :-D |

Personally, I enjoyed Just Cause more than this - despite its endless repetition.
If you'd said Mercs 2 was better than Just Cause I'd have been all over it. But not as good? Hmmm... food for thought. It all comes down to the quality of the co-op, I think. Almost any dross can be elevated to good entertainment with the addition of a friend. |

uh, if this compares unfavorably to just cause, it must suck really bad, since that one was already generic, repetitive and dumb..
after space siege, here's one more pc release that fails. now to wait for saint's row 2, 'cause i've got a feeling it's gonna be in the same class, which should make for a funny review. |

@ azazel - viking was unreal, a great game underrated by this site
@venkman90 - i've spent about 30 hours on too human this weekend, and am no where NEAR finished with it. Too human is a lot of work, and being 100% frank, EG is talking out of its arse when it did a review of the game. Yea, its flawed, but by god, get into it, and its stunning |

"Question marks, too, hang over the wisdom of designing the game in parallel with the PS2 version."
I was worried about this when I heard that they had planned a PS2 release. However the dev diary I watched gave me the impression that the PS2 Engine was completely different and was handled by a different team. So In my head I wasn't expecting... "upscaled visuals, like horrifically low-polygon, low-detail vegetation." I'm pretty disappointed to be honest, as I enjoyed the original |

Will there be a PS2 review then? I'll be interested to see what score that version gets (doubly so seeing as how I own neither a PS3 or 360).

I'll probably still end up purchasing this.
I do love blowing shit up, and I played the first for hours on end during college. |
