if it gets decent reviews I'll pick it up...i didnt bring my ps2 with me when i moved up here, so ive been missing out on gta:sa

 

I'll try to pick up a copy tonight and post a quick review, but I haven't seen one bad review so far (all reviews have been 8/10 or higher).

 

Yeah i've been looking for a new PS2 game and this one looks promising.

If it gets the from Silver, I'll pick it up.

IGN-PS2 gave it a 9.1

I like the commercial. It's like "blow this up" "blow that up" "blow this up again" etc, etc, etc.

 

I may pick it up for the xbox

 

Buy it

The best description I have for it is is GTA + SOCOM

Now I only played 1 mission but I stole a North Korean mobile SAM launcher and shot down a UN Blackhawk. Then I used a laser designator to call in an airstike on a couple North Korean howitzers, and since I was bored I called in an airstrike on a couple buildings too

It seems like you can blow up everything (houses, jeeps, trucks, aircraft, etc...). And there are 52 primary missions plus additional side missions

 

It looks good, i think im going to pick it up.

 

anything like tom clancy games? i cant stand those

 

It is more like GTA with a realistic military aspect.

 

yea it seemed so, after they mentioned jacking cars.

Seems quite violent. I like.

 

IGN gave this game 9.1

I liked the commercial when I saw it last week...I didnt realize Lucasarts of all companies made this game.

 

Gamespy gave it a 5 out of 5

Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it a 87

 

Whats the deal the commercial says it will be out tomorrow, some people got it yesterday so i'm assuming its out today?

 

The release date was yesterday and I heard some people that pre-ordered got it monday night.

 

saw an ad for it today on sportscenter.. looked freaking awesome.

thanks silver!

 

The commercial is fuckin hilarious. I might buy it this weekend

 

Picked it up yesterday and i'm glad i did. GTA + SOCOM is pretty much dead on what its all about.

There's a TON of missions and with the ability to play as 3 different Merc's (4th one is hidden/locked) there should be a lot of time for game-play. Calling in the Air/Artillery strikes is a nice touch and the visuals are just great. Smoke effects are insane.

Every vehicle from the Blackhawk Helo to the civilian sedan is available to drive. Also the deck of 52 is a great realistic touch.

However the constant fly-overs and looping radio chatter can be annoying but those are very small and minor gripes.

Well worth it.

 

Hmmm... i'll be picking it up!

 

Also nice product placement by GM as you can have the Hummer H3 airlifted onto the field to drive around in.

 

I heard someone describe this as GTA: North Korea

 

Game is a lot of fun but gets old quickly. Missions are either 'kill this guy' or 'blow this up'.

It just seems very repetitive. And the enemy AI is fucking weak sauce. I wish the game took a little more difficulty. Maybe the later missions are harder. It is very tough from going to halo's constant combat to this.

Anybody else not really feeling it?

 

I think it has some replay value, but maybe because this combines my two favortie genres (GTA-style with fairly realistic militray gameplay).

And the enemy AI is not great, but I've seen a lot worse.

 

Yeah this is true. Its the whole "shoot a guy with the sniper rifle & the guy next to him just stands there" type of AI.

I just finished off all the Club Cards. I'd imagine it will get harder the further you go through the game. Overall it hasn't lost its bite yet. Still happy i made the purchase.

 

Nothing better than calling in some Chinese artillery or a UN laser guided 2,000lb bomb

 

I saw the commercial the other day... I think I might just have to pick this one up

 

Which console did you guys pick it up for? I've got both an Xbox and a PS2...

 

WTF is it with fps games with all the "puzzles" and :ghey: stuff.. give me a full-auto, some targets, then rock & roll.
It's all about high explosives.

 

I have it for PS2, but the graphics are supposed to be slightly better on Xbox...

 

I have both systems.

XBOX > PS2

 

looks like I'll be picking up the XBox copy

 

Cool....gonna get it for the Xbox...looks like too much fun!

 

this is the next game on my Gamefly list.

Sweet video reviews and tours

 

$39 at CompUSA and Circuit City

 

It runs smoother on Xbox as well vs. the PS2 version.

I thought it was gonna get repetitive but so far so good. There really is enough variety in here to sustain someone for a few weeks. Nothing like rolling into a North Korean Artillery base with a T-34 and wreaking havoc. Tons of fun.

 

I got the game yesterday and everyone is right this game is a blast. I'm sure it will keep me busy until GT4 comes out.

 

got the game last night, now all im missing is a good surround sound. great game so far. seems like it could get boring...

 

whenever you guys get bored of blowing stuff up, pm me. oh, and ps2 version please.
