I’ve got an admission to make…. I never actually completed this as I got bored quite early on. It just felt so samey and lifeless after the initial “Wow I can blow everything up!” had worn off….. shame really, I had such high hopes for it….

ive played this game on all systems and its visuals and enviroment and everything is best on pc despite the lack of people playing on it, the 360 was good to but felt stale and stiff, the ps3 would have to be the second best coming up just under the pc version despites it graphic not looking as good but it looks same next to 360

Sorry to hear that, the version tested was Xbox 360.

Definatly, considerably more important yes! but to be fair that was pretty dull too. It just seemed like the sandbox structure made everything a little meandering and less urgent. The enemies seemed lifeless as well.

I know its the demo, im pretty sure I will play the main game as I said I loved the first two games.

Yeah, the main character is a bit generic and boring looking, but the actual game is great. I really don’t think the art style should put you off a game entirely as the actual gameplay is surely much more important.

I actually can’t tell if you’re joking or not.

Yes because you have to stare at Gordon Freemans glasses the entire length of Half Life 2.

I think the visual style is as good a reason as any to not be taken in by a game. The coat example isn’t as stupid as you think it is.

I can understand the coat comments. I refused to play Half-Life 2 because I don’t like Gordon Freeman’s choice of glasses.

I was wondering that. I guess the screen-shots were taken from an early build, and the focus groups preferred the Vin Diesel look.

I’m not sure why so many people are hung up on the visual style. I felt that the sparsity of the Martian landscape seemed to emphasise the utter chaos that would ensue in the more built up areas, and like 2plus2isjoe, I felt that each area was varied enough to keep it interesting.

Those who haven’t played the full game should take into consideration the fact that the demo takes places in one small area, and isn’t exactly representative of the entire game.

As for the coat comments: If that’s enough to stop you from playing a game that’s received near-universal praise, then maybe you should consider taking up a new hobby.

Also, why is the main character different in those promo shots to the one in the game?

Well I for one absolutely love it. I think they do enough to vary the landscape between areas to make it a palatable art style, the guerilla actions are generally really good fun, and I’m still not bored of wreaking random destruction on buildings

Add to that a solid, enjoyable and different multiplayer experience and I think the game really stands up well as one of the best sandbox games out there.

I totally agree with Steve. I played the demo and hated the art-style. It really prevented me from enjoying it I’m sorry to say.

I don’t don’t know why but I just can’t get into this game at all
I’ve only played for a couple of hours and I’m board! I think I need to give it more time maybe? But after Infamous, which I love soooo much, (proper fun that!!) it just seems tame and really repetitive! And so bland to look at.

Like I said, maybe give it more time?

On a plus note, the Walker figure with the Game pre-order is mint!!

And the point is, you enjoy playing your Wii too.
I can totally see where you’re coming from though, I’ve played the demo. Did not like the graphical style whatsoever. Felt a bit like bland samey landscapes with overly cartoony characters plonked on them.
That’s the multiplayer at least. People may have the same gripes with halo, but at least the stages had a little more splendour about them… Hmm. Not sure if it’d totally put me off, but it has a little for starters.

Yea, it sounds stupid I know.

But it looks like hes wearing a strip of road, seriously. I’m never usually superficial like this but after playing the demo I can honestly say the graphics and style of presentation (not the coat as such) has put me off the game and I think this is as legitimate a reason as any. This propably happens to all gamers eventually.

Im no graphic whore tho, I have a wii.

Am I the only one who doesn’t like his coat?

I think its awful and if I have to wear such a dreadful coat for the whole game I may actually go insane.

Im not being superficial but the horrible use of colour, the weird camera angle and the general flat texture of the terrain has put me off this game completely. And I loved the first 2.

Not buying
