Well worth $30 and not overrated.
Agreed.

Oh, and the word "overrated" is overrated. It needs to go away forever.

If any of you get the game, be sure to check out "Little LOST"! I probably spent 80-100 hours building and polishing it back in January and February.

The Lego kit aspect is nothing new, though I guess it is for current gen consoles.

It just isn't much fun to build your own levels in it for me, but it is a well implemented level editor and if you haven't already tuckered yourself out from previous level building kits (I used to do UT ones for shits and giggles), I can see it being fun. But a level editor doesn't make a game, and the stuff included with the game aspect itself was decidedly underwhelming - though very artistic.

Oddly enough, it's cheaper to buy the game than most LEGO sets :-(

OK, it's all good.
I took your post wrong, like you had misconstrued my original post as "how great the PS3 is since it plays Blu-rays" or something...I guess I am still suffering from the fallout of the "Has Sony officially lost this generation" thread.....don't mind me, I just fail at comprehension sometimes.
Like in the VC announcement thread when I thought I was giving the bird to Nintendo (when the other guy I quoted was actually giving it to you, my bad...)

Will do if Amazon ever ships it to me. I'm not worried about enjoying the game. I loved the demo and for $30 it was a steal.

Not Amazon, but whatever.

Newegg (solid vendor) has Warhawk for $15.99 shipped. It's an amazing online (or local) multiplayer game, and a group of us play every Tuesday night.

Just a note ... since it does make a difference to some people, it is the Greatest Hits version.

Why does it make a difference to some people? Just curious.

butchered artwork and red case that doesn't match the rest of your collection.

I agree, it was fun for like 3 or 4 days. I even got the guide figuring I'd spend alot of time on it, and then just traded it in that same week.

Wanted was a blast, but I'd say $30 is still too high. You can run through for the full 1000 in a few days.

As far as I know, that's the only way to get it unless you buy the box with bluetooth (which is NOT a good bluetooth)...or you could buy it on PSN for $30.

At any rate, even if you just joined us on Tuesdays, you'd get your money's worth out of the game.

Thanks, I just may have to pick this one up since I've heard so many good things about it on here.

I think it has a tiny red greatest hits bar across the top.

I'd make fun, but I replaced the red case that came on my Burnout Paradise with the one from NBA 2k8.

That's not too bad. I was thinking it was as bad as the 360 'platinum' line. Nothing tops the DS 'GH' Castlevania game though.
