I finish playing the Demo for Indiana Jones and I can't wait to get it. This game looks great!

JaxComet 01-31-03 10:31 PM

It had a few camera issues but I thought that the Vexx demo was pretty good too.......


Indian Jones - Very good

Mechassault - I guess I'll just never be a fan of the "giant robot" genre....

You had trouble with Indy? I thought it was fine. Indy felt like I was playing Dead to Rights.

Did you grab the chair and slamed it into the guys back? That was cool and I broke a bottle into the other guy head. :D

A few questions: How much is the actual magazine and how much is a subscription. Is it worth it?

joltaddict 02-01-03 09:10 PM

The MA demo isnt Live enabled. BTW in the full game can you invert the controls? Hating it and I was thinking this was gonna be my next buy.

Kakuto Chojin looks absolutely amazing. VERY easy though. I think I won 12-14 times, every single match.

Indiana Jones controls exactly like Buffy. Checked on GS and it uses the Buffy engine. You can tell. But thats a Good Thing.

Underwhelmed with KOTNR.

Crimson Sea... holy freaking freak! :jawdrop:

But there may be better deals out there.

MechAssault: Yes the controls can be fixed.


Indiana Jones: Actually in the OXM they say that the same team that created buffy worked on this game and the OXM gave this game an exclusive review and got a 9.0 rating.

JaxComet 02-01-03 11:02 PM

For $24.95 a year I love XBOX magazine. Are they fan boys???...sure. But it's worth it for the demos.........

RDGAFFORD 02-02-03 10:17 AM

How do you subscribe to the XBOX magazine?

Just an FYI, the subscription is now $29.95. Unless someone knows where to get a better deal.

edytwinky 02-03-03 11:48 AM

Are any of the Demo's Live enabled?

No.

You can get a $15 12 month subscription for xbox magazine without the demo cd at a lot of online magazine places including amazon.com. I plan on doing this later today as i usually pick it up at the newsstand

joltaddict 02-03-03 03:45 PM

Its worth $30 with the demo CD. But its not worth $15 for the mag alone.

I'd like to note that Crimson Sea supports 480p and Widescreen.

edytwinky 02-03-03 11:26 PM

I'd rather get the demo dsc if anything.

Gromit 02-04-03 07:06 AM

Got my issue yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to try out the demos or even look at the magazine. Having said that, I was shocked at how thin it is. I thought it was a flyer/ad from a store.

Cusm 02-04-03 03:17 PM

Is this available on the newsstand with the demo disc? Or magazine only?

dgc 02-04-03 08:42 PM

The preview article on "Return to Castle Wolfenstein" has got me really stoked for this port. I never picked this one up for my PC so I'm pretty psyched:

Live enabled Multiplayer and Live enabled Co-op via the entire single player campaign. Besides the fact that the host can boot players at any time, another cool feature for the live multiplayer is the ability for anyone to start a vote to boot any llamas (team shooting, etc.. or otherwise).
