It might well be the most direct, straightforward action game you've played in years, but in a way I'd see that as job done by Midway - it never seeks to overcomplicate, the combat and controls are refined, the learning curve is well balanced, the visuals fantastic, and in many ways there's an almost old school purity about it. Simply put, it's exceptionally good at what it sets out to achieve, which is to distil the best bits of John Woo's cinematic vision and turn it into a crazed video game approximation that anyone can play - in that sense, you can't really fault it. Some might baulk at the lack of depth, and the sense of mindless repetition, in which case steer clear. The rest of you can put your brain on standby, and enjoy the most ridiculous display of videogaming carnage ever.Hmmm dunno now.

Hi BF
Just that really. It is just continual shooting, no real time to explore any environments. If you want some mindless shooting then you won't go far wrong, but that is all it has to offer. Make sure you "meet" John Woo though (360 version)

Ok after a few months now of faffing around and being driven insane by the likes of COD3 and COD4 on veteran I really need to play something without it wanting me to kill kittens or puppies.
Lost Odyssey
or
Fallout 3
or
Oblivion
Fuck the rest of the backlog I need some RPG to calm me down a bit after the burning mists of rage that are the COD series.

Ok for me the priority is to finish Lost and Damned, then it's between these:
Dead Space
Far Cry 2
Fallout 3
RE 5
Chronicles of Riddick
Suggestions?

Despite championing its cause, having the money to buy it, and loving the trial, I've yet to actually get Shadow Complex. I fully blame my small backlog. I've had Pure and Mass Effect for ages now but both still need completing, and I'll be getting Batman:AA at launch too. I think my only other uncompleted game as it were would be Soul Calibur IV, but I'm not fussed about the SP side of that.
I try to complete every game I own nowadays (which partly accounts for my modest number of titles). I used to just get every new game that took my fancy and hardly completed any of them. Now I will put off getting gems like Shadow Complex so I can focus on finishing other games first.

Oh for fucking fuck sake I just looked at it again this morning and the fucking thing just gets bigger.
Just not able to get the will to pick up anything these days. I know I should be starting on GTA IV and something else.
