I have had it 3 days, and still haven't beaten it. Don't play it all at once and it lasts longer

My only complaint is the stupid quick save bug. That will be patched eventually.

Yeah it does kinda suck that saving in the middle of a level is basically pointless right now. But luckily the game is easy as shit, and the levels are short.

It actually really sucks for me. In most FPS I like to retry areas sometimes if I get shot or whatever, so I can't really do that until they fix the bug.

Maybe you were playing on arcade? I have it on normal, and some levels are tough.

Nope I have it on Normal or Hard I believe, Call of Duty was a much tougher game (yeah not quite the same...but still).

Well said I heard that EGM gave it 6.5 across the board and that this game had control issues as well.

Well I just got owned 5 times in a row while fighting

Spoiler:

I can't seem to pass that part. To say the game is easy is mind boggling.

EGM sucks at rating games IMO. They gave horrible marks to True Crime, and Grabbed by the Ghoulies, and I loved both games. I haven't had the slightest problem with controls. Maybe there are control problems on the console versions, but none on the PC.

4 hours? That will translate to about 2 weeks with my schedule.

I am not actually that far yet

Ive only played it for about an hour or so, just going by things I have read as far as the length. Maybe it does get more challenging.

Oh and as far as CS goes, I think your mistaking me for GatorDeb
