Few things for now...
1st - THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!
2nd - I\'m not sure Volition didn\'t do themselves a disservice by offering the demo like they did...The final game is SOOOO much better (course I realize that\'s what betas are all about...but is every gamer aware of that???). Anyway, hope the demo\'s word of mouth does not spread too poorly & hurt this great games sales!!!
3rd - Let ya\'ll in on a little secret (its probably in my profile...but anyway, it makes this game ROCK all the more: my name is Dave Parker...so don\'t you know that for more than most, I get to enjoy this game on a more personalized level...WAAAAY COOOL!!! PS. Doncha know this was a great plus at the end of MGS too when I found out Snake\'s first name was Dave?! O yeah, its good to be me!!!
4th - I probably did not get very far...I died working up a series of ladders (dropped to severe, hurtful death)...WTF??? When you die...you die??? I mean, "Return to the Main Menu"??? What about,
"You poor b@$t@rd, you can start over where the game last loaded into the next level"...no, instead I get to return to the Main Menu... Jeez!
5th - Related to the previous point, even though this game uses ALL the Dual Analog buttons,
did I read the manual first??? Well of course not, so I didn\'t know that the Select button would give me a chance to save...Now I\'ve read the manual of course.... Additionally...the controller\'s configuration ROCKS! This is becoming quite intuitive -- Now I want to be able to use this configuration for playing Counter-Strike on my PC. Someone\'s bringing out a USB PS-style Dual Analog PC controller soon (I heard on TechTV)...hope it works for CT!!!
6th -
edited to add one more legit note...Watched the Credits through... All the team offers words of personal thanks to loved ones etc. (which I thought was cool)...and one guy, Dan Wertz, mentioned he has a dog named
SEGA. Thought that was a great name for a pet animal (no disrespect to Sega)...Just kinda neet...
7th - 8th - 9th... Ahhhh...this game is just fine! Definitely will get my $$$\'s worth!!!
Hope others are continuing to enjoy this as much as I am!!!
PS. JerginsSoft...Man, don\'t get your wife pissed at me!!?? I got enough to do to keep my own wife happy
