Anybody getting it?
Anybody played the demo?
Gets excellent reviews across the board but I haven't seen that much blurb about it or hype.

Yeah I should be getting married next year so I have to start being "sensible". Living expenses will probably mean that I'll have to rely on GAD to get new games. Better start doing some good reviews for wins, cause theres just too many damn good games coming. ;-)

Sounds good then, I'm getting paid on thursday, but my girlfriend and I will have been together for 2 years in a about a week so it's a case of one game, treat her and then see how my finances are holding out :x Will get this and wait a little while for Resident Evil 4 I think.

Well my uncle was just here today and bought a load of old videos that I had collecting dust in the loft. So now I have £40 to shell out. Whats that Mercenaries ? You want me to buy you ? ;-p

I'd say it's a good 15 hours if you just go straight for the missions and capturing the cards.

I'm being as thorough as possible though. So far I've got the first 2 sets of cards and a whole schlong load of the bonus items and I'm about 35 hours in.

Still got over half of the missions to do and tons of secret stuff to unlock and explore.

It's probably been mentioned somewhere in the topic already, but roughly how long does this game take to complete? Are we talking a comfortable 10-15 hours? Or is it likely to take longer than this? Judging by what has been said there is obviously going to be a lot of time messing around, but if you knuckle down to the missions (or however the game works), is it of reasonable length or quite miniscule?

Had a brilliant helicopter battle in Pyongyang (I think it's called?) me against about five, but once I'd taken down those five another five appeared. Great stuff. Swinging NK Jeeps into other 'copters is great too. :)

The things that really caught my attention on this is the freedom, level of destruction and interactivity and how you can pick a side you want to help rather than being forced to help a faction the game dictates to you. With also the fun choice of just being a jerk in general and nuking everyone. ;-)

I managed to kill one of them with a tank. Killed lots of other people at the same time too, so it was worth it. Some allies in the mix, but it looked like 9/11 x 1000.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Easy and free service!
I think it's fab that you provide an easy-to-follow service, and even better that it's free...!
