A couple of quick quesies if I may...
Firstly, is the game supposed to have no manual and only a quick start leaflet?
Secondly, anyone else get a Windows error report on top of the game crashing when trying to exit to the main menu once they are passed the opening section?
Aside from that, definite improvement over the Xbox version...

The movie was overblown, but enjoyable if you switched your brain off and didn't concentrate too hard, the game I found, was quite the opposite. It's amazing really, it didn't cost as much to make, didn't require even half of the $100 million budget that was used on the movie, and still came out on top of it's filmic rival.
Way too short though, which is disappointing but it at least stops the game becoming too repetitive. Only disappointment I had with the game besides length was that the action bits felt a little by-the-number, lacking any real excitement.
The stealth bits, escape sequences and hand to hand combat made up for that though. Nice to hear there's a sequel on the way.

Sort of cured it...
Disabled TRUFORM which seems to do more harm than good in most cases. This cured quiting to the menu but I now get the sbzengine.exe error at random times whilst playing.
VU Games provide nothing of any use and basically say go for a fresh OS install which I can't do without the internet anyway. At the very least they say uninstall and then reinstall.
Really annoys me when you get bugs like this that are clearly effecting more than the odd person yet everyone keeps shut about a fix for it. Might tone down the OC a bit, the graphics card is clocked at a stupidly high rate at the moment.

It's called permanent insomnia. I work full time, go to night college etc I usually start playing around 10-11pm and play through the night, it follows suit for weeks on end. I rarely play games during the day. I then book a few days off work and sleep all day to make up the difference...
As for buying it on PC, it was purely for the technical advantages. I will probably never listen to the Developers Commentary.

*shrug* Pc was my first exposure to it. There's probably a cheat to unlock it although I wonder why you would pay for a game that you've played through 6 times already. The Developers commentary is a nice extra, but not worth the cost of the game. :D

No. It'd be incredibly distracting on first play. Basically, there's large icons all over the map that you activate, and the developers tell you stuff randing from level design, cheats to stop people breaking the scripting, and even the possibility of gay characters. In heavily swedish accented voices. Some of them go on for 30 odd seconds, some are over 15 minutes. It sounds crap, but it's really amusing at times.

Must be Truform technology again, had a similar problem with Medal of Honor Allied Assault with it throwing up Windows Error Reports.
Developers Commentary, that is selectable from the menu, I take it you can't actually run it until you have finished it?

Nope. Yeah, It's a pretty cool game. The Developers commentary that unlocks when you finish it is imformative and entertaining too.
