The official mag really is terrible, and £6 with it? I started crying in the middle of the shop, then wept and wept when I attempted to read it.
But ... demos, so meh.
I've only played it about twice, first time just carpet bombed anything I could find, which was nice. Lovely destruction. Then went walkabout, nicked a few cars, and finally got blown to bits after getting smacked in the face with a rocket.
I'll be buying it for sure.
Shows how easy, and how good the FPS-style controls would have been in GTA (to whomever argued against me that it shouldn't be done) although your yellow-wedge head can't swim.

Helicopter's awesome, only problem was I flew it before taking out the SAM sites. Also cool how you steal a tank, sliding alone the cannon, grendae dropped into it.
You ever went for a drive, the opposite way from where your meant to go, you can find guys who assist you. And if you wander too far the helicopter comes after you.
I might have to get that ... the game's been ticking my loins for a while now.
There't this other one called Mercenaries, though. I think we should talk about that instead.
