Looks like my order does have the SGT Johnson Character code.

Just got an email from Game with the redeem code.

I don't think I can be bothered playing single player. Sounds like they have made a 2 hour expansion in to a 6 hour game by making you go back on yourself all the time to pick up an object at the beginning of a level.

Whats your gamertag? I need someone to co-op with.

Single player is ok so far to be honest. The wandering around is a bit weird to start with but hey ho. Also my screen feels waaay to restricted in view. I only got a 28inch old tele, so the pictures hardly clear coupled with small view makes it a bit awkward sometimes lol.

I got 42" so that is alright. Does it get better after the initial wandering then?

I should really give it more of a go, but I am out tonight so it will have to wait until Wednesday.

Well, even when you're wandering you still have shooting and fighting to do. Then you find a "clue" and rerun another scene through their eyes or something. It's quite cleverly done. Except at the start I was a bit lost because there isnt much of an intro it jsut drops you in and says "find out whats going on". They introduce you to some characters at the start and im just like "WTF?!".

But yeah, i think it will get better. You can play through in 4 hours they reckon, so may as well do it.

I havn't quite understood the health/stamina system yet. Its got a health bar and a CoD style "screen goes red for bad news" stamina system, but i dont know what this stamina does. I should probably check the manual :lol:

I couldn't find the door out of the main complex bit on the first level, it's not exactly highlighted very well. Same as every other door except it has a tiny green light on it rather than red which you can't see when you have that special vision thing enabled.

Press up on D-Pad (I think). Then you get a an orange marker on the door or an arrow pointing left or right if it isn't in view :mrgreen:

I think the whole point though is that you search for stuff more thoroughly because there are audio tapes and stuff lying around to collect.

If you wanna just bash through it though use the "tips".
