any early reviews on this game?
seems like there isn't much press coverage on it.

The demo on the 360 was ok. The graphics were ok and the earth moving was interesting but ultimately it was nothing special.

The latest GamePro gives it 3.5/5. Basically, they said the single player was unimpressive. They call it "serviceable" with "lackluster missions" and a "disappointing finale". They really liked the multiplayer saying that's "where the game's true potential lies".

IGN gives it a 5.9/10.

It's got a 72% average on GameRankings.

I just beat it in under 6 hours. Really repetitive and just takes the "hill" gimmick through the entire game. Easy 680 achievement points though, so I can't complain.

...wait's for Saint's Row 2 patiently....

I was excited for this one until I played the demo. I enjoyed it at first, but the hill/ tunnel thing seemed pointless after awhile, and it seemed a little clumsy as a shooter overall. With Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and Gears 2 all coming out in the next month, it wasn't hard for me to quickly lose interest in this game.

Sounds like a perfect $3 rental to me.

I thought the demo was slightly interesting. It was good enough for me to throw into my Gamefly list and give it a rental sometime. If i could snag it for 20$ i might actually buy it for the goofy ground altering mechanic alone.

Finished playing through this last night. Didn't seem as bad as the reviews made it out to be. The weapons were interesting enough and added some puzzle elements to the game to keep things somewhat entertaining.

The main character though... geez what a huge video game cliche. They put zero effort into the characters or story past the initial premise, which I thought was pretty intriguing.

Got about 450 achievement points playing through the game on normal. All were easy to get.

I still haven't finished this. I'm stuck on Minotaur like creature in the arena.

I thought the game was ok...worth the 10 bucks I paid for it new....but no more.

I enjoyed it but I haven't been able to beat the final boss.

The final boss / minotaur thing is pretty easy. Just shoot him either in the face or stomach (when you get a successful hit you'll see a big green splash) and then when he charges at you, quickly whip around and shoot him in the back. His spine is exposed and is glowing green. Again when you hit him successfully you'll see big green splashes. Just keep avoiding his charges and shoot him in the back.

The final boss is a little harder. When he shields himself just keep destroying the lava towers he creates. That drops his shield. Shoot him in the spine. Etc.

I just started playing this after owning if for about a year (got it for $10) and I gotta ask is my game seriously glitched? After about 30 mins of play, the sound will turn muddy as if underwater, than will go out completley. I have to quit my game and reload for it to be back to normal, only to fuck up again later. Ive never had this happen before.

superfro

Yes. If I remember correctly there were times in the game where the sound drops out completely.

chuckd21

Never happened to me. Not saying it's not happening to you, I just never had this problem.

Looks like a common problem from the research I did. I had to turn off 5.1 on my ps3 and hear it as stereo. Not that big of a deal as the prologic still sounds good.

Im doing thos on medium and the game is pretty tough, annoying enemies, and tons that are either REALLY smart and flanking me, hiding and coming out later, or just appearing out of no where (my guess!)

Ravenous

I am really hating this fucking game. I have it on normal and its too diffucult, not fun at all. Not only that, I have ANOTHER glitch where my health is NO longer regenerating!
