Anyone play it yet? Was going to rent it from Block Buster but they wouldn't let me get any damn next-gen games without a debit/credit card...

I bought it on release day.....I'll copy and paste my review from the TPB site.

Alright, feedback time.

I'm only about an hour in, so I'm sure a lot more will come up later on, but my initial thoughts of the game are that it reminds me a lot of Condemned as far as movement and overall "feel". The game is definitely very creepy and gruesome.

So far the game is pretty straightforward (maybe because its in the beginning stages). You're given an objective and you complete it....usually that requires going to a different part of the ship to find a key or databoard or something.

Taking out enemies is fun. You can just blast away at them, but shooting out their legs and arms makes it so much more fun. My personal favorite is shooting off their left leg and right arm....then when its on the ground pulling itself toward me I stomp on its head.

Upgrades are pretty simple. You find "nodes" throughout the game (reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy X's leveling up). With these nodes, you can upgrade your weapons, your stats, or power. Or you can save one and use it to unlock secret rooms throughout the ship.

Controls are pretty simple:

LT = Zoom in (Call of Duty style)
RT = Fire (or Melee if you arent holding LT)
LB = Run
RB = Stomp
X = Uses Health Pack
Y = Inventory
Back = Map (Maps are 3D)

LT + X = Stasis Power (Slows enemies and objects down)
LT + A = Reload

Clicking in the Right Stick generates a blue line on the ground that leads you to your currently selected objective.

I'm sure the other buttons do more, but I havent unlocked them yet.......



So far the game looks to be very promising. I'll give it an 8.9 right now with the potential to get higher. I'll update it as I go on.



Now that I've played most of the game I must say I like it alot. Right around a 9.3 like I told StormShadow.

MorePain told me it was an awesome game.  I think I'm going to have to hold off on it until December with Fable, Fallout, LOTR:Conquest, Gears2, Left4Dead and of course Monopoly all coming out within the next month.

Conquest was pushed back quite a bit...

[Poonanimus Maximus]

When you pre-ordered it, the game was still slated for a November release.
