I've been playing this since Friday and i'm nearly done now and i have to say i agree with the review it takes a while to actually get going, the mechanics are indeed showing its age and the Connor is definitely not Ezio. But I would still give this 9 to all its negative aspects its still a great game so many things to do and i quite enjoying the story even the Desmond sections are good (really hated the revelations ones). I also hope they patch up the bugs i have the PS3 version and my God people sink into the ground while others float and thats just a few while skinning hunted animals most of the time the camera gets stuck to the ground and starts shaking the screen crazy but nothing that a patch won't fix.

Could it be that Final Fantasy original creator Hironobu Sakaguchi left the company? I played Lost Odyssey which he created and it had everything the most recent FF lack. Nobuo Uematsu is also missed his music on the original FFs were great.
I agree and like what someone above said I think FF directors should play Xenoblade Chronicles and learn. Reply+2
Great to see this HD update I doubt they'll the other 2 FF included the blu-ray disc could handle it but PS Vita?
I will also love to see Suikoden series in HD my fav rpgs of the ps1 era. Reply0
I wonder how much damage has the whole PSN being down done to the ps3 sales though. I think the network has been down since the game was released right? Reply+11
Star Ocean for ps3. Missed it on the 360 last year cos I went for tales of vesperia but it's a game that I really want to play and now with added bonuses i think its the version to get + no disc swapping :).
I also feel slight disappointment with Bioshock 2 although its a good game I just found it to be quite linear and repetitve. Also very similar to the original. Reply+2
Kind of looking forward for this game since i first saw first screenshots. Then played the demo last month and wasn't very impressed and have been eagerly waiting for the first review score to actually confirm what I expected. Well still quite immersed in mass effect 2 and with potentially great games like God of war 3, Final Fantasy 13, bioshock 2 and heavy rain all to be released within the next couple of weeks there's definitely no time at the moment for a game like this one. Shame though. Reply+1
It just shows how less and less actual gamers don't buy games for the wii anymore. Now let them release capcom fitness or something similar and it will probably top the charts cos at least for me unfortunately thats the way the wii has headed for. Okami, Madworld, No more Heroes and lots more of this type they will never make an impact all of them great games by the way. I've always liked nintendo for their exclusives but this generation proper gaming wise they haven't delivered. But then again who blames them they are making millions with that market. Reply-1
I'm pretty sure you can change his face at the beginning of the second game if that is any consolation i kept the same look but it does give you the option after the ........... oops no spoilers lol.
Well about the sales never had a doubt about mass effect 2 it really is great totally deserves the number 1 slot and surprised at MAG i tried the beta a few weeks ago and didn't think much of it. It's just funny how my ps3 only friend says that mass effect 2 is not very good and MAG is the best online game ever even better than MW2 oh well......(sigh). Uncharted 2 is still holding strong glad cos its a great game. Reply+1
Local game store already selling it and already got myself a copy. The problem is due to having a new xbox (last one was smashed by 1 yr old daughter) i am currently replaying the first one again as i lost all my saved game (the previous hdd didn't survive) now what do i am half way through the first one but really want to play the new one what a DILEMMA lol loving the experience of going through the first one again as my first playthrough i was a bit overwhelmed by it.

Crazy list then ppl talk about the japanese one. Just hope that Mass Effect 2 has the impact it really deserves next week it's a great game been having a go through the first one just to get ready for this one and its just a great game really looking forward for it. Also good luck to MAG. Reply0
what i still find unbelieveable is the lack of use the blu-ray disc has on the ps3 surely with all that space they could have made the ps3 game look much better but well not bad for Bioware's first go on the ps3 hardware roll on Mass Effect 2 on ps3 which i think is the worst kept secret ever lol.

I'm quite lucky that my local game store imports games from the US as soon as they are released this year I've enjoyed Blazblue, Demon's Soul and now lucky for me God of War collection and all of them priced as normal european releases. I have been playing the GoW collection for the past week and I couldn't agree more with the review i'm having much more fun playing this second time round than i did the first time it's one of those games that really hasn't aged at all and i think they were impressive for ps2 standards in the first place especially GoW2. What I do agree is with the blu-ray, Vhs comparisons the reviewer did when it came to the cut scenes they do look bad compared to the crisp look of the game. Reply0
in most cases i think trophies/achievements has a lot to do with peoples preferences if people are into trophies they end up getting it for the ps3 and don't bother if its inferior same goes for the 360 and achievements. Reply0
It just good to see that the impact of the price drop and ps3 slim wasn't short term and has really worked for sony and with final fantasy 13 its only going to get better. Reply+4
Airport massacre is too much and certainly not needed in this great game when I was playin at first i was amazed by the detail and graphics of it all until I noticed my son coming into the room and asking me what was I doing in the airport killing everyone and then why was i helping the 'baddies' turned it off immediately after.

Got PES yesterday and after playing a couple of matches on single player online is still not up all i can say is that its a great game. I'm a long term PES fan and didn't like last years entry. Well my opinion of this version is as a whole its not better than FIFA but I pretty sure lots of PES fans can agree it just gives me something that FIFA does'nt I'm really enjoying it at the moment.
PS this morning there was already a patch out on the ps3 1.01 no idea up to now whats changed.
UPDATE: online is finally available and its officially the best PES of this generation after a few single player matches online i have not had any lag what so ever and the game has been very fluent on every game great news as this was terrible in past versions Reply+2
