Post by: Smooth Groove on August 11, 2008, 08:04:34 PM: Nope. The graphics are dated and neither the story nor the gameplay is enticing.

THere was also much satisfaction into kicking enemies into spike walls and cutting off heads/limbs. There are 3 classes you can choose from. For $10, it's definitely worthy of a play through. After you finish the game, you should agree with me.

The PC version still has bugs--rather unpredictable freezing bugs that vary system to system. I, for example, can't play it on my main machine at all. It freezes about 5 minutes in. I've played it at length previously, and it's a better game than Oblivion, but you are rolling the dice on trying it.

Post by: Bildi on August 12, 2008, 03:14:39 AM: I thought the 360 demo was hugely meh, but a friend and I played quite a bit on his PC and it was an assload better than the demo. I think it's worth $10 easy if that's your thing.

Post by: Joe Molotov on August 12, 2008, 03:15:25 AM: The 360 version is completely different than the PC version.

That would explain it.

I bound kick to my right mouse button. It's quite effective.
