a short review after having played 2 hours:

pro's: - Atmosphere is great
- Feels like a John woo movie
- Some nice graphics
- Bullet time is cool
- Every fight looks like a piece of art (typical john woo)

The bad: - Fights become quickly to repetetive
- lipsync not always perfect
- To many, to easy to kill enemies at the same time

Game is definately worth the download, maybe even buying....

My score 7.5/10

finished the game on hard.
nice to have, but not worth buying it imo
its just to repetitive after a while, and to short.

now up to medal of honor airborne and halo 3

Am I the only one that feels that its playing like garbage compared to the demo? At first I thought it was cool but I realized that the cover system / slide of stuff thing was totally wack compared to the demo... Played the demo vs retail and demo beat retail hands down... They really fucked this game up...

[quote="felixen21"]does it work on a pal 360?[/quote]

Yes


Really a pitty they blew it by just such a small mistake!

In my opinion their should be far less enemies but alot harder to kill. This way every fight would be more like an art ballet instead of just shooting everything that moves Sad

What's the disappointment?
It's not like this game is on the same level with Bioshock, it's a straightforward, no brains 3rd person shooter, what did everyone here expected?

Just finished level 3 (out of 7) and no sign of dissapointment here. It's just what I expected, a nice mindless shooter. If you liked Infernal you should enjoy this as well, no revolution but no big flaws either.

C'mon guys, it's not bad game. As I see, there's no one here who have a game and doesn't playin. And I cannot really remember a game that I played twice or more after I finishit except HALO, and that one was a boom in game market. This is simple third person shooter, with no need to use your brain too much, and it's a pretty nice piece of work. C'mon, remember another one of these genre which wasn't released at least 2 years ago. I just want to say, that X360 need this game and this genre. Gears is serious, not action, and yes, remember what is a full name of the game John Woo present Stranglehold. So, typically 3rd person shooter which remind us of good action movie Smile. I'm really glad about this release and hopefully there be a lot more in near future.

ahhh nice... finally a shooter u can just pop in and play. can't wait to try it out on pc.

i expect the people who disliked this game are the same people who hated outrun 2... a game that was perfect for short bursts of time.

i guess the saying for being a 'mindless' shooter also excuses bad game mechanics and poor level design. max payne is way more polished in every respect than this game.

I agree, this game has no story at all, except saving that girl, the gameplay is repetetive and boring cause all you do every level is the freaking same shooting and using slowmo to kick their ass and that gets boring, and i finished the game in less then 5 hours on medium.
