Just seen it in action - I am wowed.

One of my local retailers had an Xbox pod running and were showing the PS2 version running on TV screens around the shop.

The Xbox one looks far superior with a clearer screen, reflections in the windows, etc.

Anyway, the pendulem swinging looks really cool - not quite like the movies, but that would be hard to do, but it's a hell of a lot better than the first Spider-man Movie game.

I didn't have the time to keep watching it though, but I am glad I chose it as a GAD prize ages ago - I cannae wait!

Yup. Very impressive stuff, especially the fact that there are no load times (except when you go indoors or when a cutscene loads) yet still manages to run at a constant 60fps.

No it doesn't and that is in 60hz mode. Unless you are running it in 60hz mode I have no idea how you know it is running at 60FPS, including the obvious slow down early on.

I don't recall much slowdown, but it's only because it referred to it as 60fps in many reviews that I assumed that it was.

Anyway, stop getting so worked up over it. And stop your bloody nit picking.

Nontheless it's still very impressive. From the Empire State Building you can see the entire city, and on some of the other extremely tall buildings you can even see the cars down on street level. I'm impressed, especially when you consider how poor Vice Cities draw distance is in relation. When you go onto the taller building there's hardly anything down on the streets.

And at least, you can always see all the buildings, even if they aren't in much detail from far away.

Actually, you can even see the cars from atop the Empire State Building too. It really is brilliant diving off that thing, my biggest drop without hitting the ground is 1328ft, and it was from that building.

Just completed it after a frustrating fight with Doctor Ock, but still, it had a good ending.

And now the game wants me to earn another 50,000 Hero Points *sigh*
