It is as good as the hype.  I\'ll post more on that later.

My roommate just got it. I can post his impressions on it later. For now, I\'m caught up in Guitar Hero 2 :)

The Kill.switch gameplay looks kind of boring to me.

Thats what I thought as well at the beginning. But there must be a good reason for the excitement and good scores now that the game is available right?:)

So I think it might actually do great what Kill Switch didnt. This game tempts me to own a 360 and not just a PS3 despite that I dont have the money to support two expensive consoles that dont offer drastically different experiences.

I havent heard of a bad impression yet. Seems solid, impressie and fun.

the game is awesome as hell.

Chaotic but some strategy to it. If you see someone and get excited and go running for him, your probably gunna die. But is hilarious when your leaning up against a wall and see someone coming, then chainsaw him when he gets to the corner.

4v4 online is perfect for the maps and the game. Theres one er two iffy maps, but even theyre fun. Probably my favorite is the one with the helicopter pad.

Still having a hard time smoothly leaning against stuff, chaning positions, moving along the wall..

Watching my roommate play it for 6 fucking hours now. It really looks good and fun. I\'ll probably pick it up eventually. Welp, back to Guitar Hero 2 :)

I love this game. Only complait I have is that the A button is used too often, it creates confusion.

I am really enjoying it. I got my xbox360 on opening day and it pretty much sat under my DvD player untouched since. There just wasn\'t a game coming out for me. I had purchased Condemened during the launch and was let down by it.

I went and picked up GoW opening day by suprise (I thought it came out on Nov 14th) and haven\'t put it down since. I at first thought the duck and cover was a tad boring, then my buddy came over and we did the co-op. The co-op really blew me through the roof. I haven\'t had this much fun in a co-op game since Halo 1 on the xbox, and i\'ve only done split screen so i\'m guessing the xboxlive co-op with a full screen is pretty cool.

After my buddy went home, I really started to appreciate the single player and really can\'t stop. I\'m at Belly of the beast: Tip of the iceberg act III on casual for now. Like Halo I enjoyed beating the game from normal setting then to heroic and after that legenday and thats the route i\'m taking with this one.

When I am done with that i\'ll jump online and get some games in with some of you guys.

Blade that will entirely depend on your display unit and how well it\'s calibrated and what settings it offers.

From what most people have been relaying across the net, using VIVID setting in the game is the most desired.
