I dont know about you, but i'm not waiting till next year for this. So is anyone else going to import this? It comes out 8th November in America, according to NGC, so i'll try and pick up a copy from somewhere. My only thought is ebay so far, are there any really good/cheap places? If they're all stupidly expensive I should be able to get a kind eBayer to sell me a copy. Just like I did with Animal Crossing. Lets hope its compatible with my freeloader. I cant remember which version mine is.

I was quite dissapointed after reading that review. I can't believe they'd be stupid enough to leave the special move clips on. One thing I liked about Mario Tennis was the continuous rallies you could do, they could last forever but now I see that those power move clip things will break up the flow of the rally :(

So you meant you preordered Goldeneye?

I certainly havent preordered it, and it would have to be <£20 for me to buy it. The gameplay doesnt seem great, certainly nothing like Goldeneye by RARE, but it seems alright for something to play for a little while. And if you're a big multiplayer player then it should be exceptionally good. I cant see it taking off personally, but like every Bond item, it will have its cult followers. Im sure the single player missions will be half decent and I will get it when the price is low enough for.

This post should make me a Regular. He he, send your gifts in the post, first class please, I dont want stragglers.

I was replying to Marcini. Should've quoted his post.

Why pre-order it. It'll hardly be difficult to get.

Why buy Goldeneye just for the multiplayer when there's so much out and Future Perfect is out next year which will be infinitely better?

Well just read the Ign review. Sounds magnificent in multiplayer, but apparently lacks in single player. I've heard that said about a previous game methinks. But then again the multiplayer is where its at. The only disappointing thing they noted is that the clips for those special moves cant be turned off. But you can turn the moves off themselves, which is fine by me. And so i will be importing this in the near future. Now i'm off to 'revise' for a 3 hour Physics Olympiad paper for tomorrow that I 'volunteered' for,
