Ive only ever played the original on the PS2, thought it was fairly good, since then ive been converted to PC-gaming and ill probably pick this up, maybe not tomorrow though, after playing the far-cry demo i think ill be spending my money on that. ill wait for abit of feed back from here and a few other websites..........

Both PC and XBOX versions are out tomorrow (9am). I already have my copy pre-ordered in Game (Blanchardstown).
The singe player will not be that much different from the original, however, the thing that sets this game apart from the others is the new Multiplayer feature.

Link to website here

Also, the singleplayer demo is available for download now. 120MB download so for broadband people only I would say.
The multiplayer demo is out this evening at 5pm (GMT) from the ubi.com website and from the usual demo download websites like fileplanet.

I loved the original so definitely gonna pick up a copy tomorrow. I can't decide whether to get it for the Xbox or PC.

I can play both systems online and in terms of graphics power my PC is far superior.

Also, I'm just new to the Xbox and haven't got used to the controls (esp for FPS games)


Anyone think of any deciding factors?

Edge gave it 8, which is pretty good. They said the single player is much the same and the multiplayer is quite different, but good

The single player is nice,very similar to the first game but sam's character movements are much more fluid/realistic, other than that cant see much of a gfx improvement tbh.gonna give the multi a bash now.

Yup.

The Xbox and GBA versions are out now, the PC version out next week, and the PS2 and Gamecube versions out sometime in June (tentative).

dangerman

got the pc multiplayer demo a few hours ago.

and now its 4am and im still up.

playin all night, same level with another few random ppl.

very fun game. sneakin around as the spy, its genuinely tense and quite spooky.

specially when ur the mercenary and ur motion detector vision detects a little whisper of motion.

seems very tough for the spy, the mercenary can just shoot the place up, bein the spy requires much more knowledge of the game.

recommend it.

metal gear solid 3: snake eater is out in november and will destroy this

metal gear solid 3: snake eater is out in november and will destroy this

Mouse. ultimate decider in a game where every shot counts.

casper-

Allright ... played about halfway through the first mission on the Xbox. More of the same from the first game; very sneaky, stealthy, etc. No kills allowed on the first mission heh. Graphics are decent, although it seems slightly jumpy at times. Storyline is pretty good. Not sure how it compares to the PC version, but since it's not a twitch game (like Counter-Strike), the lack of precision from a mouse doesn't really make much difference.

RobertFoster

Creamy Goodness

dangerman

just wondering when your a merc can you see the spies night vision goggles on his head.

yes u can.

being the spy is very very very challenging, but really really fun and rewarding too.

I was the spy, jumped down behind a box, and the mercs motion detection vision shows movement so in he comes running

im motionless behind the box, watching him search the room.

he runs around the box, i run around the box with him, placing myself on the other side. his motion detection goes off again, but hes not sure what the hell is going on. about 3 times we switch places around the box, he hasn't seen me properly.

finally i realise i gotta make a move so i flashbang him and leg it. hes left standing there and next thing a type message comes up sayin 'wtf?'

very funny. game is full of moments like that. still haven't really worked out how to fully immobalise/kill a merc.

Creamy Goodness

where did you get the mp demo how big is it and what connection are you on?

dangerman

um about the goggles on the spies head, i got that wrong u cant see em when ur the merc sorry about that.

Get the mp demo here: 61 megs.
