    I know its been around for a while but...

    I just finished it. ought it a few weeks ago.

    I have to say. If you havent played it you MUST get it. It is one of the best games i have EVER played. Absolutley brilliant.

    A class act.

    Highly recommended.

    Excellent game alright. Mixes 3rd person with 1st person amazingly well.
    Pity it flopped and they went out of business (or rather left the games business to go exclusively into animation). I guess my buying it second hand didnt help! Haven't actually finished it yet either, looking forward to picking it up again now.

    Great game.
    One of the Xbox's best.
    Shame that the studio closed down due to bad sales

    Must admit I put it down a long time ago and haven't actually had a chance to finish it (there is a growing list of unfinished games). Must pick it up again now though;)

    I could hardly put it down. You really get drawn in by the story and the character - well i did anyway. its more like a game within a movie. Ol Steef is a great character. very well done by the developers.

    Shame they bailed.

    If you have it i recommend you pick it up again. the journey is worth the effort.

    defo in my top 10 of all time.

    not amazing but I enjoyed playing it. Very original and art direction was excellent. As mentioned before Steef is a great character. Well worth getting since it's one of the few excellent exclusive xbox single player games.

    It's about 20 quid secondhand in Game at the moment. I'd buy it but I'm flat broke and keeping gaming money for Dragon Quest 8.

    I really wasnt too impressed with SW. Id read people gushing over it all over the gamesradar forums, so picked it up. Played through the first fre bounties, and it just seemed totally repetitive. go to town, collect bounty, move on. Repeat as necessary. There was barely any story to speak of, and the town were all the same, a few shacks, a jail and a shop. I just didnt see what the fuss was alla bout. Gimme a decent Abe game over stranger anyday..

    Without giving too much away. The bounty hunting thing is only an introduction to the game . The plot changes after a bit and it's only then that it really gets good.
