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.

I can play as him as well as a doctor, a prisoner, a member of the deck of 52, one of the Aces and another character.

Also the listening posts are basically grey sticks that flash red. I've nearly found all of them now.

Those listening posts are a pain.

How do you spot them?

All but one I've destroyed whilst blowing something else up and accidentally got the post into the bargain.

They're a small box with a sort of satellite dish on right? Or was that something else, when I found that thing it was blocking me from getting any support... :S

I need 12 artifacts, 8 blueprints and about 7 listening posts and then I've got everything.

I can now play as that guy out of star wars...

Anyway apart from that guff I've almost done all the statues and have half the treasures.

Just mopping up the leftovers of the hearts as I can now go for the ace.

forget about putting 2 C4's under a parked car, put six and stand well back!


watch the flaming wreakage shoot straight up and out of sight!


whos completed it and got playground of destruction? I have, but found no differences in gameplay, you just start off as normal??!

I just got those unlocked, tested them on NK Gate in the south area, brilliant.

My plan was craptacular. I bought the Maffia's helicopter, blew up the NK Gunship, shot the surrounding people around the seven of hearts then landed, without blowing up the bunker. Then I punched down the seven and called in the extration. He was picked up and I got the reward for the capture, but suddenly a couple of NK troops appeared with anit-air rocket launchers and opened fire at the AN helicopter as it was flying away. It was soon brought down and the seven of hearts with it too and he laid crushed beneath the wreckage. But even though I had to pay for the loss of the helicopter I still got a reward for a successful capture of the seven of hearts.

I don't know whether I made a profit or not. :D

I'm on that one now, I'll go back to it in a minute, looks like a great mission that'll allow you to level the whole city without having to pay reparations or anything like that. :)

That'll be the evil NK piranhas then. ;)

Might be just me, but I think its a bit lame that not only can these "hard as nails" mercenaries not swim, but worse still, one of them was supposed to have been in the navy ! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Anyway, on the diamond cards at the moment. Got the jack and the ace to go.
