Worth buying? Looking at the screenshots, the cell-shaded graphics looked kinda cool :)

You can get a demo here (http://www.ausgamers.com/files/download/html/7861)

I haven't played the first 12.






.....;)





EDIT- Just tried it. Quite fun. The graphics make it feel cool, and I like how the little panels appear, and how sounds are seen. Might buy it now :D

Have you been able to complete the 'Find Carrigans Cell' level yet? I get to the bit with the grappling hook and get blown to smitherines :lol

I get a bit further than that, I've seen the cell on a CCTV. The full game better have a save function, it's infuriating to do the same things regularly :)

You're telling me. I read a review that says it has regular checkpoints, but you can't just re-spawn anywhere.

Chckpoints aren't too bad, it's just getting to them :)

I mean, you think how long you have to play to get to the Grapple section. Now imagine doing it six times over :)

I've done it about 10 times today :mneh I managed to kill all but one guard in that room, using grenades, but there is on on a raised platform or somesuch who always gets me.

Hide, take him out in your own time :)

If you can afford the life, use the 9MM. I run out of M16 ammo WAY too fast :)

Jenny, is this the game you dl'd the other day? I saw previews of a game on TV, right after we talked and it had a comic book look to it. Is it the same?

One and the same, yup :)

PS you only get the panels if you get a one-hit kill, by hitting them in the head :) (I think)

Yeah, seems so. Generally though, I don't go and find more glass to throw after the first misses ;)

Me and my buddy played this a few weekends back when we were drunk off our gourds.

This could be our new goldeneye. Hooray!

Were you playing it split screen or Networked?

I generally suck at FPS (and I think XIII is one of those) but this is one I'd at least rent alot.


*is reminded of Perfect Dark and being blown to bits by her brother*

Ditto, normally. But I'm picking up this one pretty quickly. :)
