Played a lot of this game and it deserves a higher score than 6/10. It's by no means perfect but I would give it at least 8/10.
Sure I read that the US gets this game on 16th feb. If so then we (UK) have to wait extra 10 days. Hope I'm wrong.
EDIT: Just re-read about US release date and it is 23rd not 16th. The page has been updated, did say 16th but now 23rd.
Still 3 days earlier than here (UK).
I watch trailers and preview vidoes to get an idea of the game. I normally know by those if I will like the game or not. Also I read readers reviews on big sites and see how people who have already played the game think about it. Seem to get better idea about a game from readers reviews, rather than the main review.
On one horrible afternoon that scarred me for life, I even saw a kid walking out of the public library playing a Nintendo DS.
That sentence got me. How would that scar anyone for life?
Vietnam is a good place to set COD in. Make a change from WW2.
Will try this demo. Been waiting to see what this is like for ages.
nogolis,
I'm from UK and the game would do quite well over here. As good as anywhere else. You seem to not like the UK for some reason.
@sealion,
I have loads a love for Deus Ex, best game I ever played. It should be on that list. Maybe who wrote this article never played it.
I agree, get the first one out. Been waiting to see what its like.
I have over 60 blu-ray games for my PS3 and I live in the UK. I dont have 360 either. Love my PS3 and wouldn't be without it now. Still a few over here who buy games for their PS3. I do have a good PC for the few games I cannot get for PS3.
I got this for PS3 and have been playing it loads. Its a very good game, little like GTA. Some very good set pieces too.
I started playing games around early 80's on ZX80/81, spectrum and commodore. The games may be easier now but they are a lot better. The older games from the 80's seemed to get boring very quickly to me. Now though I dont get bored half as much with games from this gen. I dont think games from the NES or Mega drive era are any easier or harder than games now, but games from the 80's on Commodore, spectrum and amiga were harder. The turning point for easier games was around the early 90's IMO....
What I have seen of this game looks amazing. Trying not to watch too many previews though, don,t want to spoil the story.
This will be a day 1 purchase for me.
It all worked out for the best for everyone concerned in the end.
Deus Ex, Amazing game. The best PC game I have ever played.
I have been playing this game a lot lately and I find it very good. Its like GTA set in 1940s Paris. Got it day 1 and I am very happy with it. Anyone who likes GTA will probably like Saboteur.
bjornbear,
I agree, Deus Ex is the best game I have ever played.
We seem to be lucky in the UK with this game. I got it day 1 for £32, could have got it for £26 at one shop but it sold out and no idea when they would have more. So got it at the next best price. Also this game was meant to cost £55 over here with the £5 added on by Activision.
Some of the big supermarkets here in UK are doing some nice prices on a fair few games, up to £15 cheaper than usual game shop prices.
This looks like my type of game. Great story and very different to whats out at the moment. Don't care much for the nudity but if its there, its there. Day 1 for me anyhow. Looks like a good game for the older gamer (like myself).
I have been thinking about getting a 360 lately. The only games I would be bothered about that aren't on PC or PS3 are Forza3 and GTA episodes. I would also want a steering wheel for Forza. I don't know if It would be worth it, cause I already own a PS3 and Logitech GT steering wheel ready for GT5 and I could live without GTA episodes. If there was more games for 360 I wanted then I'd definately get one, but just for 2 games I don't know.
