    I know 1up weren't impressed with the preview builds either. Looks like another disappointment.

    Why would you lose faith if this game is poor?
    There are plenty of good games out and coming out.

    Metacritic gave it a score of
    66
    and that doesn't include Eurogamers score.
    Better than average...just.

    Like I said I'll wait for more reviews, but it is looking like a bargain bin purchase for me.

    Those are decent scores tho. The first game was more remembered for tis setting than gameplay really. It was ana verage game with above average concept. I expect this to be something similar. Ill be getting it anyway, this trailer pretty much sold me :D

    Expecting this to be the same, but I'm still buying it. I'm sure it'll do as good a job of "setting over gameplay" as LA Noire, so I'm happy :)

    As someone new to the games, I assume I should play the free copy of Alice first?

    Personally, I'm dying to play this one. It looks like great fun. Unfortunately though, there's no demo available on Xbox, as I'd love to test drive it before I make any real decisions.

    If you buy it for PC through EASTORE you get the original for free on PC.

    While I know there's a reviewer or two here who may have early access, and you may be referring to them, it's not actually out here until Friday :)

    disappointed by the reviews but I have a feeling that the tone and atmosphere of this one might just carry it even if the gameplay isn't quite up to scratch. I'll be waiting for a price drop but I'm still very much interested in it.

    50 minute video from Giantbomb of the game.

    Reading mixed impressions from people in the States, seems good but not necessarily great.

    impressions from people playing it on neogaf seem pretty much quite positive about it. The biggest complaint so far seems to be that while overall it looks lovely, there are some low res textures to be found in places. Aside from that, it seems like most people are really enjoying it.

    Any word on differences between the pc/360/ps3 versions yet or is it too early to ask such questions?

    PC is superior version obviously, but the 360 seems to have an edge over the pstriple when it comes to shadowing. But not much in it, apparently.

    Only a few minutes in, and it has some fairly screwed up imagery going on.

    Bit annoyed at having to manually edit the config files to remove the crappy mouse acceleration and frame rate lock and vsync.

    Source for the fixes was here:
