    Well it's 50 quid on gamestop.ie, so I can only imagine it'll be at least that in most shops. Might be lucky to pick up a cheap copy in Tesco maybe?

    Thanks :) Might check Tesco just in case!

    Game is f+cking class!! Great intro and its classic max! the blurriness and strange colours are weird but fits the gameplay as max is on a lot of drink and pills. It actually feels like your drunk/drugged as well. Shoot dodging is excelent, the movement and physics are just perfect.

    Only complaint so far is changing weapons furing cutscenes can b very annoying.

    I was sceptical of another 3rd person shooter but this is calssic max, excellent.

    Im playing it aswell its more movie than game which is annoying. Was in the middle of a gun fight really low on ammo killed the last guy then it cut to a movie scene and I was downstairs with about 5 bullets :D Had to run around trying to get some while chap with a kinda gatling gun shoots at me and he has loads of armor on.

    If you can play this game classic max style with out using the all too common cover system you are a far better gamer than I.

    I mostly use cover to get a breather as the enemy flanks you fairly quick. I meanr classic max more of the character anyway, keeping that noire feeling. Free aim is a must, id say its fairly boring using hard or sift lock. Getting the trophy for 6 kills jumping out a certain window just felt good!

    That is so class!

    Multiplayer is a great laugh, really frantic. The crew thing looks class as well, has our emblem and slogan, and all our stats. Says I only have 4 PSN friends in the crew so add me if you didn't already sheehy83.

    There is no need for the golden guns, they look really tacky, don't even know if they cause extra damage.

    Online, me and a guy were running at each other, both dived in slo mo, landing on the ground still shooting the sh*t out of each other. Looked really class. Free aim is definitely the way to go.

    I think it's brilliant! I'm reading mixed reviews online, either people love it or hate it.

    I think if you play with free aim, you will enjoy the game more. I was watching gameplay online with soft and hardlock and it looked so boring, no skill involved at all.

    I'm really 50/50 on whether to play story or online first when I get home, both are great.

    changed that time now :P those joypads would want to be worth it for 15 hours!

    Some info on the difficulty as well:

    I am playing on medium with free aim and it can be tough enough. Achievements only unlock with free aim as well I think.
    Easy: Increased Health and Bullet Time® Rewards. A satisfying challenge
    Medium: Moderate Health and Bullet Time Rewards. A stiff challenge
    Hard: Low Health and Bullet Time Rewards. A real test
    Hardcore: Minimal Health and Bullet Time rewards. Very challenging
    Old School: Last Man Standing is disabled.

    just grabbed my copy there, will be straight online with it tonight. 54.99 in Gamestop and they wouldn't give the DLC code without a preorder so HMV got the business at €10 cheaper.

    I'm enjoing both SP and MP, nothing being ruined for me. Best thing about this is it feels the SP and MP are seperate games, not like one of them was tacked onto the other.
