Anyone gettin it? Or heard if its worth a buy. Im debating if i should buy it or not. The first one was good at first but got very repeatative and ultimately was pretty shit. So im not sure about this one.

So i'll be shocked if i get this myself

Arghhh wash your fucking mouths out the pair of you. I absolutely loved the first one, its all about patience and timing not spray n praying so its against everything I believe in I know... Asked Santa for the sequel. However, Santa being the mrs I may end up with sonic2 on ps1 (a classic in its own right but there aint a whole lot of ninjaryassassinish goodness to be had )

I thought it was a good game. But towards the end it was just the same shit. Just like... Sit on a bench, listenin in a convo. Execute someone. Etc etc.

I found the first one boring after 10minutes and gave it to my mate. Have never bothered with it since. Might get it back and give it a crack if im ever that bored.

No interest in playing the second until i've done the first.

Review from Ars

[Revolver]

They should never ever ever put "collectables" in games like these. It pissed me off to know in the first one that you had to run around collecting a million flags around villages if you were to ever fully complete a game.

This tim you get (at least) "The Truth"... Seriously, why make people solve puzzles just to get an extra bit of fucking video? You're hiding narrative from the masses. Stupid decision from the developers there.

It was the same in Riddick. All the extra art and videos that were in the game could only be unlocked by picking up cigarette packets around the game and some of them were fairly well hidden, but the extra content wasn't worth any of the effort. The only thing it did was extend the amount of time I played with no real gain. It made a 4-5 hour game in to a 5-6 hour game and gave a fair bit of disappointment at the end but it gives the distributer/marketer extra ammo to feed to the masses.

Half Life 2 on the other hand had good achievements, there was no reason to do them other than personal fulfilment and you didn't miss out on anything by not getting achievements which made it an option like difficulty is.

But there are other games that I have played on the 360 that you need to complete the game at least 3 times to get all the achievements. That is all well and good for a game that is say 5-6 hours long, but these games are huge multi-disc games which equate to 50 hours+ for each run through.

Well... Bought it yesterday, just had my first go off it. And so far... ITS SHIT! Literally like worse than the first one. Im just hoping it gets better. Atm you havent actually been the assassin dude so hopefully when your him again it get good. But so far not impressed and wasted my money :/. And the people who did the voices in the game are such shit actors. That ruins the cut scenes for me.

Jesus, wouldn't like to see you play Resident Evil.
